The property could not be better and we left feeling like it was a second home. The best. Cannot say enough good things about the property and Lolo. Love love live ##### Marcy Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy Dec 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owner, Lolo, is very helpful and knowledgeable. She prepares a homemade breakfast for each guest. The property is lovely and I am a big fan of the bathrooms in the bungalows. Nice size shower, lovely wood and fresh air coming in from 3 sides. There is a bit of a drive up a dirt road to get there (but this is very typical of Costa Rican roads). Well worth it once you arrive. ##### Nancy Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan Nov 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was our very first trip to Costa Rica (for our 20th Wedding Anniversary) and it won’t be our last! The best part was staying at this place, which was pure luxury… architect-designed bungalows that were impeccably clean with great amenities (the housekeeper even cleaned my sandy flipflops one day!), a gorgeous picturesque pool, a cool little hiking path carved out of the hillside, and the BEST breakfasts. All the reviewers raved about Lolo, the Belgium-born owner, being a gracious host, and that is so true! I loved hearing all her stories about how Mikado came to life. She’s an amazing woman. BONUS: Lolo has two friendly dogs and a PET PIG named Negrita!! DO book a dinner at Mikado (Lolo just needs a couple days notice) because she’s an incredible chef. We had a 3 course meal with Mahi Mahi as the entree, drizzled with this delicious passion fruit sauce. Yes, the roads in the area are a challenge - as are most in Costa Rica, by the way - but my husband loved driving them in his Jimny we rented. Two biggest suggestions I have are: rent a 4x4 vehicle (we had a great experience with Alamo at LIR). Also, your map may guide you in to Mikado from the south- you should enter from the northern route. We felt safe everywhere we went in Guanacaste and we are already planning another trip to Costa Rica, this time with the kids (my daughter wants to meet Negrita!) 💕 ![Pool.

Heard distant Howler monkey noises every morning!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/764d2dce-41fc-4ea7-b3f3-b6554db6893f-1764126613787.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jonathan Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Myron Nov 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Lolo the owner is a great host. The cabin is very clean and nice. The road to the place is not good, which accounts for a average rating. One caveat is to make sure you do not go on a road recommended by WAZE where you have to cross a stream. Call the owner and get direction's for another route. ##### Myron ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trevor Jan 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Phenomenal place to recharge in nature Our stay at Mikado was nothing short of phenomenal. The incredible Lolo and her wonderful team + family have truly built a slice of heaven on earth. Our bungalow was cute, cool, comfy, spacious and private—nestled right in the woods. The Mikado grounds are beautiful and very special—with lots of stunning views, a refreshing infinity pool and shaded hot tub that are both open at night, two lovely trails to hike, and a warm dining area where each visitor is treated like the guest of honor. As if Lolo wasn’t enough of an all-star for building and running this place in tip top shape, she also is an incredible chef who was able to serve us nonstop prix fixe deliciousness even while accommodating my significant dietary restrictions. With the resort built atop a hilltop forest tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo, there’s no better place for a nature lover than Mikado. We saw howler monkeys, tropical birds, iguanas, frogs, toads, lizards—and that was all just from the luxurious comfort of the pool! And because it’s a small resort without too many guests at a time, the facilities all felt very private. We cannot recommend this place more highly and honestly could’ve stayed MONTHS longer than we did. Don’t miss the opportunity to treat yourself by staying somewhere so special. ##### Trevor Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derek Dec 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had an amazing time at Mikado.

I was not prepared for the rough dirt road to it, however. ##### Jenny ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason Jun 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was a last minute trip and it was everything and more. The Mikado is an experience. Anyone seeking the serenity of Costa Ricas nature make sure you check out this gem. Lolo took care of us and made sure we wanted for nothing. Very grateful.

Très propre, excellent déjeuner ( inclus) et souper $ succulent si on ne veut pas sortir le soir. La route pour s’y rendre est quelques chose mais ça vaut le coup. Lolo la proprio est très accommodante et sympathique, il y a aussi Negrita qui rend l’endroit special ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d3262eee-0dde-4d6c-a5e6-7a94352e5849-1768264514235.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b576dcba-813f-4a24-abda-522bc970b351-1768264504701.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9ce71994-b885-4f93-ac3b-085a93c02f22-1768264510848.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Estelle Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yadira, Cañas Aug 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities El hotel divino, la habitación que escogimos tiene una vista increíble, estaba súper limpia.
