This property was amazing, literally one of the most beautiful properties that I have ever stayed at! The staff were so accomodating, especially given a reservation error . They had us check in, stated they would handle the problem with Expedia, and told us the most important thing is that we have a good time. AND THEY LIVED UP TO IT! I couldn't believe there wasn't 100 extra charges and excuses etc--such incredible service! Our family of (6) kept busy on the hiking trails, at the beautiful river/waterfalls/rapids, reading on our porch hammocks, sitting by the big dining-side fireplace, or grabbing a beer at their cute little bar. We would absolutely return! Thank you Rancho Margot!

Stunning stay!
I came here for 3 days and rented a deluxe cabin. We had the most amazing time at rancho Margot. The photos don't do it justice! It is stunning. It is so relaxing and mind altering. I would highly recommend taking them up on the farm tour. It is so informative and you can just feel how much the property means to everyone who works/lives there. You could certainly bring a light raincoat however they provide umbrellas which we found more that sufficient. There were some mosquitos but being from canada they were do where near as bad as we are used to.

We loved our stay at Rancho Margot. The staff was so kind and accomadating. The property was lovely, it was so nice that food was included. We loved going to see the animals. The Pook is warm and fun for kids to swim in. It was more adventurous as the drive in is on a dirt road. I definitely recommend driving to La Fortuna first and coming on the road from La Fortuna. We drove straight from Liberia and it was a rough road where we crossed several rivers, including a VERY large one at the very end. I highly reccommend this ecolodge. The rooms you stay in are separate little bungalows with a porch and hammock, which is fun!

Rancho Margot - Completely Amazing!!
Rancho Margot is an amazing place. Completely self sufficient. Really amazing. The ranch is secluded and completely in the rain forest. When you get the end of the road, you just have to go a little bit farther. What they have done to the land over the last 16 years is mind bending. If staying in the rain forest appeals to you and you're heading to Costa Rica, do yourself a favor and book a few nights at Rancho Margot. You won't regret it.

A far-out place, not what we expected, Over-priced
The "bunk house" was misleading in its advertisements and less that spacious...further, it is very noisy with all the people staying in dormitory style lodging and grass/straw/open walls and ceilings...it was also packed with mosquitos.

Amazing, unforgettable, love it!
We were last week in Rancho Margot and we were amaze how beautiful is the scenic around the cabanas. Everything was perfect, people were very helpful always try to please you and find the best solution for you. The owner is always around and very attentive to anyone....Rancho Margot has is own vegetables garden, cow and pig. we ate organic and my kids loved all meals without any complaint. We were very sad to leave. We will recommend for anyone who search the nature and not the luxury. The mattress were firm and the cabana was big enough for 4 of us. Just be ready to drive on difficult road for 10 kms. Rancho Margot is located 25 mns away from the Fortuna.

De accommodatie en de locatie waren helemaal top. Je waant je midden in de jungle. Het is wel ruim 30 minuten rijden vanuit La Fortuna, doordat de laatste 15 minuten over een onverharde weg zijn. Wij hadden wel een 4x4 maar zagen ook kleine auto's zonder 4x4 op de locatie. Het eten is lokaal, basic, maar erg lekker. Verwacht geen patat en hamburgers, maar er is wel iedere dag pizza. Het zwembad is lekker verwarmd en erg leuk voor de kinderen. Personeel is erg vriendelijk. Verwacht geen luxe van een hotel, dus ik denk dat het niet voor iedereen is weggelegd, maar wij hebben een super fijne tijd gehad met onze 3 kleine kinderen.

unique experience in a both positive and negative
For the ones who love a uniq stay in the rain forrest. To wake up to the sound of birds. To be a part of the eco chain. However, be prepared to not have any dry cloths sheets, towels. To be without hot water and electricity a couple of times a day. To eat the same kind of food for lunch and dinner day after day.

Eco lodge nature mais pas luxueux
Chemin d'accès très difficile, impossible sans 4x4, pas bien indiqué. Confort sommaire des chambres, très humide sans système pour rendre plus sec de part l'accès écolo. Pas d'eau chaude, ni de shampooing, ni de TV. Pas de wifi dans les chambres. Tous les repas sont compris mais ce n'est pas varié (tout est produit sur place) et cuisine de niveau cantine. L'environnement est agréable les beaux jours, mais pas de nuit, ni les jours pluvieux. Des excursions sont proposées. Le bar est très cher. En bref, ecolo mais pas du tout confortable. Le personnel est un personnel temporaire, souvent des bénévoles ou étudiants, donc sympa mais pas professionnel
