Pablo and Ana were fabulous hosts and we truly enjoyed learning from their knowledge of all things Costa Rican, especially the history and quality of chocolate and coffee. We stayed in cabin 8 which was comfortably rustic with a refrigerator. We found the temperature in mid Feb to be approx 10 degrees C cooler than the coast. Travel by SUV is best as the road is quite rough at times. The home cooked meals were authentic, yummy and filling. We loved both the peacefullness, the nature and the birds at Finca La Anita. Many thanks Pablo and Ana, we are already looking forward to our next visit. ##### Shawn Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalya Apr 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Loved La Anita Staying at La Anita was an amazing experience for my mom and I. Pablo and Ana are amazing hosts who take a personal interest in all their guests. The food was delicious and the grounds of the ranch are beautifully taken care of. It was nice to stay in the jungle and feel disconnected but still stay in a clean and safe environment. Beware of the roads on the way to the ranch, they can be a bit challenging. And be careful to not accidentally let bugs in your room at night, shut the door quickly! Overall, we enjoyed La Anita very much and highly recommend it to others. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3C3DB3B0DA7983BA6718BE184C08AA1FABA0D5891713623484675.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/117424901C479BDC627D17FD4C00A17FEA8F95E41713623577571.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D66ACBAD992311BF7C06EF2375868FB5A336FB481713623573234.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DB55967010FAF09CC4CD765DB8158606A8AA409D1713623575337.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Natalya Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pauline Feb 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highlight of our Costa Rica trip! Staying at La Anita Rainforest Ranch was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. We stayed for three nights and had an incredible experience. The hospitality of Pablo and Anna are unmatched; we felt so welcome and taken care of during our stay. The food was phenomenal, with a menu of fresh local foods that changed daily. Everything was very clean and taken care of. The property offers plenty to explore, and the lack of WiFi in the cabins makes it easy to unplug and enjoy the company of your companions. We HIGHLY reccomend the cacao tour- it was very informative and changed our perspective on chocolate and the industry at large. The ranch will forever hold a special place in our hearts! ##### Pauline Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### BRIGITTE Feb 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I loved our cabin very much. My only suggestion would be to have mattress covers under the fitted sheets. Sleeping almost directly on a mattress is not very hygienic. There should be a barrier between the mattress and the fitted sheet that can be removed and sanitized. ##### BRIGITTE Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Dec 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Calm, cool perfection This place is perfection in so many ways: the grounds are impeccable and just like you see them in the pictures. Few, if any, mosquitos. Cool high elevation air. The cabins are large, quiet, private and have mini refrigerators along with quiet surroundings and great privacy. Above all, owner/operator Pablo is charming, nice, attentive, but also lets you have your space. Everything you ask for, you get that same day! For example, our shower head was broken, but still just fine. It was fixed by the time we got back from hiking that afternoon! There were hammocks and comfortable chairs on the private deck of the huts. Just a very quiet, calm, familial stay in what felt like a very upscale resort. Pablo made it feel like we were staying with a friend of the family! This place is very highly recommended and could be a relaxing destination of its own. Just know that it is almost two hours to the Rincon de la Viejo national parks; but very well worth it (beautiful drive too). Dinner is at 6 pm. (traditional Costa Rican food: some veggies, some potatoes or rice, and some meat - ask ahead of time if you have other desires). A very fulfilling breakfast is served around 7.30\. Upon request or if time allows; see the on-site chocolate factory! Don't miss the cocoa nibs for breakfast or in the nice store! Enjoy. ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bianca Feb 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Ich habe leider nur zwei Nächte in der La Anita Rainforest Ranch verbracht, aber die Ruhe dort war genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Die Cabins sind rustikal und schlicht, aber äußerst sauber, und die Terrasse ist perfekt zum Entspannen. Sollte etwas nicht funktionieren, kann man sich immer auf Pablo verlassen – er sorgt dafür, dass alles geregelt wird. Um die Unterkunft zu erreichen, ist ein SUV empfehlenswert. Die ungeteerte, etwas holprige Straße ist mit dem richtigen Fahrzeug jedoch kein Problem. Wir hatten einen Suzuki Jimny, und es hat wirklich Spaß gemacht, die Strecke zu fahren. Am ersten Tag haben wir mit Pablo die Chocolate Tour gemacht – und ich kann nur sagen: Sie war nicht nur gut, sondern exzellent. Pablo ist leidenschaftlich in Bezug auf Kakao, und die Informationen, die er vermittelt, sind von höchster Qualität. Man merkt sofort, wie seine Augen leuchten, wenn er über Kakao spricht. Diese Tour ist wirklich einzigartig, und nach ihr versteht man, was guten Kakao und gute Schokolade ausmacht. Von der Unterkunft aus gibt es zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für Ausflüge, darunter ein Besuch von Sensoria, dem El Cathedral Waterfall oder dem Rincon de la Vieja Nationalpark. Zusätzlich können Mittag- und Abendessen gebucht werden. Die Mahlzeiten sind einfach, aber schmackhaft. Obwohl die Unterkunft nicht auf der typischen Touristenroute liegt, kann ich sie ohne Einschränkungen jedem empfehlen, der einen authentischen und ruhigen Rückzugsort sucht. ##### Bianca Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sonja Mar 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Mir hat das wundervolle Holzhaus mit der Einrichtung gefallen!!!

Eine sehr außergewöhnliche Unterkunft. Hier kann man Regenwald spüren. Der Service ist ausbaufähig, aber sehr ursprünglich. Pablo als Eigentümer sehr bemüht. Die angebotene Chocolate Führung war unglaublich interessant und mit großer Leidenschaft vorgetragen. Sehr Empfehlenswert ! ##### André Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marina Nov 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Filmreife Kulisse im Regenwald mit Vulkanblick So habe ich mir eine Finca erhofft. Tolle Bungalows mit viel Privatsphäre und Blick auf den Vulkan. Und die bequemste Hängematte ever. Die Bungalows haben Netze statt Fenster. Gut für eine erfrischende Brise bei Nacht und die volle Geräuschkulisse des Dschungels. Moskitoschutz sehr zu empfehlen! Die Gastgeber Pablo und Ana einfach klasse, super freundlich. Wir haben uns wirklich sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Essen würde ich als bestes unserer gesamten Reise bewerten. Und dann noch die Kakaotour! Wir durften soviel von Pablo lernen und Kakao in seinen verschiedenen Formen kosten. Lecker! Die Tour sollte bei keinem La Anita Aufenthalt fehlen. Gut investiertes Geld ! Liebe Ana, lieber Pablo vielen Dank von Marina und Thomas und bitte genauso weitermachen!!! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3FC7BCE13F1118271A949A5BD2CABD26EB03B4171699400103988.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Kakaobohnen ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7FD079332B91AA6629F2538941B65685B66594191699400097049.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/24130728C1087D1C50BC151BCFEC05AD4003F87E1699400103095.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Marina Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Michel Mar 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Bien sous tous rapports.

My 18 year daughter and I stayed for three nights and wish we would have stayed longer. It was one of the best experiences of our two week trip to Costa Rica. Pablo, his family and staff went above and beyond to make our stay welcoming and comfortable. The cabins were beautifully rustic and had all the amenities we needed. The property is beautiful and Pablo was very helpful to set up activities for us during our stay. We went horseback riding through the rainforest with Edgar, who is a horse whisperer and it was incredible with spectacular views. Then we enjoyed a Caribbean cooking class with Araselli, who was a lovely person and makes fantastic food. The breakfasts and dinners at the lodge were delicious and we felt like part of the family by the end of our stay. We loved every minute of and would love to come for another visit. Highly recommend this place for a true local Costa Rican experience. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities the property is of off the grid! it was so peaceful and completely part of the nature.

If you’re looking for a serene atmosphere to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, this is the place. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch of our cabina taking in the beautiful surroundings. Our meals were delicious and the view from the dining area is beautiful. Pablo is a wonderful and welcoming host and a wealth of information about Costa Rica and sharing his passion for his ranch, the environment, his cacao plantation and the process of his chocolate production. Pablo and his wife Ana were so welcoming and a pleasure to meet. Our experience was excellent and we will visit again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Coast Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-The-Coast-Beachfront-Hotel.h18530265.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport ](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Secreto La Fortuna](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Secreto-La-Fortuna.h12860234.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Monte Real](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Monte-Real.h10203312.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel La Fortuna](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Selina-La-Fortuna.h19237432.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Lost Iguana Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Lost-Iguana-Resort-And-Spa.h1174121.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Las Colinas](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Las-Colinas.h4223949.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal History Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-History-Inn.h17866818.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Linda Vista](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Linda-Vista.h7064176.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Montechiari Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Montechiari-Hotel.h6986430.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Hideaway Rio Celeste](https://www.expedia.ca/Katira-Hotels-Hotel-Rio-Celeste-Hideaway.h3858533.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [El Silencio Lodge and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Toro-Amarillo-Hotels-El-Silencio-Lodge-And-Spa.h3940524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Eco Arenal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Eco-Arenal-Hotel.h5964265.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information)
