This was such a lovely place to start our Costa Rican roadtrip! Elena was such a wonderful host and we loved meeting her. The breakfast was delicious and the setting was really pretty. Thank you!

What an absolute gem of a place. I didn't want to leave!
After a 2 week road trip, we wanted somewhere an 'easy' drive of SJO airport before our longhaul flight, and this place was perfect. We felt it extended our holiday because we instantly totally relaxed.
The rooms had lovely comfortable beds and stunning views. The pool was amazing, as was the yoga room, the food was delicious and cooked with love. All the staff were delightful, making sure we were able to have massages in the beautiful...

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! We could have stayed much longer as everything was fantastic from the food, from the spa and especially the staff! We hope to come back one day.

Once you've marvelled at your surroundings, your accommodation and the facilities, thinking that you must be dreaming, the staff and management just embrace you and you are part of the family. I travelled on my own but it was the same for couples too. All the staff at El Silencio are professional to the nth degree and their customer service first class but in a relaxing way that makes one feel at home. A fellow guest on the day of departure said she felt as though she was saying goodbye to her...

I'd say this is one of the loveliest bed & breakfasts I've ever stayed in. The gardens are truly beautiful and it was awesome to wake up and look out at the flowers, plants and amazing wildlife taking in all the nectar. Jnana made us the best breakfast of our trip - it was truly awesome. They were so welcoming and friendly as hosts, and we felt very much at home there. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We booked all 3 pods for a 1 night stay on the way back to the airport after touring Costa Rica and all were excellent, privately located with an outdoor kitchen, toilet, shower, balcony and jacuzzi. Although quite remote, they do offer a takeaway delivery service from a local restaurant, and the town is approx 15 minutes away. Important to note that the transparent pod is down a steep windy narrow path with lots of uneven steps, which is quite difficult to walk up and down and a real challenge...

Absolutely amazing setting to this property. We felt like we were in the middle of the rainforest but with convenient access also to the pool & hot springs. The food was good too. Being so far out of town was not a problem without a car as all the tour services came to collect us from the hotel.

With only 3 cabins set in beautiful trees overlooking Quesada and the Palma Valley, this place is magical. The hosts Luis and Marjorie run the fabulous La Hortensia restaurant with organically grown food from the farm.
Wanted to leave no review so that we could keep this place a secret!

Perfect first night hotel after a long flight. The hotel arranged an airport pick up for us. The room was very comfortable. All the staff were friendly & helpful. Food at the restaurant was great and reasonably priced. Would definitely stay here again.

We arrived very late at night due to a 4 hour delay on our flight. We were warmly greeted and shown to our lodge. It was clean and very comfortable just what we wanted after our very long day. The next morning the view from our balcony took our breath away, we were totally in the rainforest!! It was difficult to get the kids out of the hammocks on the balcony as they could have lazed there all day. Breakfast is simple but delicious- all freshly cooked. We only stayed 2 nights but I wish we had...

We loved our stay here. The grounds of the property are beautiful and interesting with lots of birds and butterflies (note there is some small construction going on at the moment but this didn’t affect us). It was a relaxing and peaceful place for a few days with excellent hiking nearby to the waterfalls and river swimming pools. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the enclosed seating area at the front of each cabin, with fresh coffee provided, was a great place just to sit for a while....

Booked the tree house as a special treat and it was wonderful. The Sloth House, which we had booked was a little close to the road, but we were offered a larger tree house with a hammock (my partner loves hammocks!) for the rest of our stay which was perfect. The whole area is teeming with wildlife and a couple of trails through the forest and down to the river. The service was friendly and breakast good.
