Cerritos Baja Eco Pet Friendly Boutique stay

El Pescadero

10/10 Excellent

This was an incredible place to stay. Very clean and well set up. Able to open two gigantic windows allowing the breeze and the sound of the waves. Very comfortable bed, quiet and the views were amazing. A walk to a quiet beach with breathtaking sunsets. Am trying to figure out how we can be back in the area to stay again. The hosts were also very nice, even making us coffee in the morning. We travel a lot and it takes something special to wow us - this was it!!!

Malekus Mountain Lodge

Guayabo

10/10 Excellent

Best Stay of Our Costa Rica Trip — Malekus Mountain Lodge This was, hands down, the best place we stayed during our 10 days in Costa Rica. Not only is the property itself beautiful, but we had the pleasure of being the only guests, so Roger and Rosy treated us like family. They helped us shape our itinerary to have a more authentic, local experience, and honestly ended up defining our whole trip. The rooms were comfortable — we had the one with a double bed plus a separate room with a bunk bed,...

Peace Lodge

Vara Blanca

10/10 Excellent

We were greeted with an alcoholic beverage, our room was personalized with last name, the view is magnificent and unreal, the staff is incredible and even remembered our names. The rooms are just gorgeous. The animal sanctuary is fantastic & the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. There's absolutely all kinds of everything up there. It might seem expensive, but it's definitely a 6 star hotel in my book. I can't even believe this place is real, it's paradise on earth & I HIGHLY recommend to...

Copal Tree Lodge, a Muy'Ono Resort

Punta Gorda

10/10 Excellent

Everything was amazing and the property was a “once in a lifetime” experience, but on checking out an expensive fishing rod that I had checked in to the front desk had been broken by a staff member I would think inadvertently and the general manager made no attempt to contribute to its replacement, but did make a weak attempt to dismiss his staffs culpability in said matter. For this reason and this reason only we will not be going back ever again.

Wes

A wooden deck with a swimming pool, a thatched-roof structure, and a view of a forested mountain.

La Anita Rainforest Ranch

Guayabo

10/10 Excellent

If you are looking for an authentic Costa Rican experience, the La Anita Rainforest Ranch resort is the place to go. You are about 2 hours from Liberia in the Guanacaste region. If you like mountains, forests, rivers & wildlife, you will fall in love with the area! Catering to active couples who enjoy adventure tourism, the resort owners (and your gracious hosts) Pablo & Ana can suggest and arrange a wide variety of activities to customize your stay.

Victor

A thatched-roof hut with a wooden bench outside, surrounded by lush greenery and a stone pathway.

Luna Lodge

Puerto Jiménez

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful tranquil setting with the most attentive staff possible. No was not in anyone's vocabulary. Due to nature of terrain must be physcially fit and if staying in the tents would suggest tent A or tent B as the climb can be quite a challenge for the over 50 crowd. I stayed in tent B and absolutely loved the outdoor setting and feeling of being in nature. Would love to get a chance to visit again
