5/5 Excellent
"For a unique experience with interesting and intimate setting! Try the large hot spring pool or from a couple smaller ones. A jacuzzi and swimming pool are also available for a dip. We enjoyed all kinds of wildlife spotting's from the hot springs and from short walks around the property to the nearby farm. Bella the pig and some beautiful horses can be spotted roaming the property as well as a new 15-day old donkey! While petting the Donkey one of the farmers showed us where they had spotted the 15-month-old sloth up in a nearby tree who was adorable. While enjoying the nearby pools we spotted many different types of reptiles including the basilisk or "Jesus Lizard". Birds of all different colors and types can also be spotted especially at breakfast where they piece of fruits in a few of the trees to ensure they show and for your viewing pleasure during breakfast. Baristas here are incredible as we enjoyed some of the best espresso drinks during our stay from iced lattes to macchiato served with delicate designs. Fresh fruits and juices are available at breakfast with a main option of pancakes, waffles, omelet and others. Dinner here was fantastic, and the seafood soup was one of the most flavorful and delicious soups either of us have ever had anywhere in the world. The seafood risotto as well as the beef loin were both amazing as well. With great food, staff and service, drinks, wildlife and variety of pools Hotel Silencio Del Campo is the #1 best hotel in La Fortuna!!!"

"This is a gorgeous property with a magnificent view of Arenal Volcano. The hot springs are other worldly. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend "

"I was worried to share this gem but they deserve the credit, this was the best hotel we stayed at in Costa Rica, had the villa without a pool, private, secluded, and clean. The breakfast was in a room near a balcony overlooking the mountains and valley. Somewhat like a dream! It's so close to the waterfall which makes visiting it so easy and it's a short drive to town for great dining."
