Rio Celeste Jungle Glamping

10/10 Excellent

"It was just a great experience, photos exactly as it was."

Destino Hotel & Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"This place was more than amazing for us , the owner accommodated our 1 year old in everything we did , he was very kid friendly and made sure we did not want for nothing. Would 100 percent recommend this place specially for a family stay ! We will be booking again forsure"

Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River

10/10 Excellent

"The entire staff was amazing. What a peaceful property and lovely people :))"

Finca Amistad Cacao Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"A hidden gem in guanacaste province! By far my favorite place, from the warm welcome, to the well-thought out layout of our cabin, to the excellent service all around! The place is clean, safe, well maintained, easy to navigate even for our young kids, who felt right at home. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a chocolate drink and a tasting of various locally crafted cacao products. The breakfast, traditional costa rican, is made fresh every morning, with coffee/tea/hot chocolate included! Dinner in 2026 is 18 USD per adult and 12 USD per child. Well worth it even if it's slightly pricier than local sodas: it's a genuine farm-to-table experience, includes a fresh fruit juice and dessert. We did the included cacao tour (and learned so much!) as well as the paid chocolate workshop (so much fun, and you get to take home 3 tablets of personalized chocolate per person! In 2026, it was 120 USD for our family of four). And what to say about the staff! Friendly, kind, and super patient with the children :) The included spa is gorgeous; we felt like we were right in paradise on earth! Yoga mats, hot bath, cold bath, showers, all in the middle of a gorgeous tropical setting! An ecologically friendly place; they recycle, they promote responsable handling of nature, and, the cacao farm is sustainably managed and organic!"

Casitas Tenorio B&B

10/10 Excellent

"This place is magical! The owner/management treat you like family! One of our BEST trips to Costa Rica! Thank you Casitas Tenorio B&B! Pura Vida"

Hotel Mystica

10/10 Excellent

"Limpieza, mantenimiento y jardinería de la propiedad, excepcionales. El desayuno, maravilloso."

Malekus Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely magical. Pictures do not do Malekus Mountain Lodge justice - it's truly so special and lovely, a work of art not just a place to stay. Roger and Rosey were kind, attentive hosts. The location was beautiful. We had wonderful breakfasts on site and a fantastic dinner just 600 meters away. With only 7 rooms and an intimate feel, this would be a perfect place for a family reunion, small destination wedding, or friends trip. Do know going in that the rooms are small and intimate, and there is no air-conditioning. However, the climate was temperate and the rooms and lodge are well-suited and comfortable. We loved everything about our stay - except for that we didn't get to stay longer! Already hoping to come again!!"

Thermomania

8/10 Good

"Un lugar amplio para disfrutar de diferentes piscinas "

Lucky Bug B & B

10/10 Excellent

"The gardens are incredible and the many humming birds were a joy. I have been in many art galleries with local art. This is one of the better galleries created from many talented artists."
