“Exceptional! Probably the best stay we had in Costa Rica.”

The whole experience was great! Such a detailed explanation and welcome from Cecile. The room was lovely and it was so nice to be able to order food in and sit on our terrace after a long day of travelling. The honesty bar is a great feature as well. Breakfast was one of the best we had during our entire stay in Costa Rica. The kids loved the pool, the toucans and the horses.

“Wonderful”

Wonderful property. Very comfortable and relaxing. Host is extremely friendly. The grounds are large with walking trails and lots of birds. Breakfast is also very good. Can only recommend 😊

A truly outstanding hotel in every aspect. We stayed there for just one night, but it will be an unforgettable stay. If you enjoy being surrounded by nature, it’s definitely worth choosing. The owners are extremely kind. A delicious breakfast.

“Best place we stayed on our 4 week road trip around Costa Rica!”

Everything was the best quality! Excellent view from the cabana, this was the only place in Costa Rica that we saw wild toucans too. Loved the cabana it was very high quality and the bedt we have stayed in, super comfortable bed and super shower, all was spotless. Loved the home made delights in the afternoon and breakfasts. They make chocolate from their own plantation and home made jams at breakfast etc. Host was super helpful snd ensured your stay was a happy one.

Location. Quiet. Access to nature. Friendly hosts. Great breakfast.

“Simply Stunning”

It's so hard to put into words how wonderful Mei Tai Cacao Lodge is and It encapsulates what Costa Rica is about. The way it has been designed, managed and the thought that has gone into it is a credit to the family who own and operate it. Syr Daria and Cécile are just delightful and their enthusiasm, love of the local area, its flora and fauna just enhanced our stay. A lovely breakfast with homemade bread & locally made jams which were delicious. We loved the facility to order takeaway evening meals from the local restaurants and have them delivered to the lodge at a time of your choosing. These are plated up and served at tables in their own restaurant area. This not only supports the local community but gives a very wide menu choice and saves the 3.5km trip into the village. The birdlife around the lodge was neverending & we were fortunate to see 8 Toucans together in one tree and minutes later 3 different Toucans together.

This place is so relaxing and clean. The breakfast was fantastic. I'm very happy we spent some time here.

“A perfect experience”

The spacious cabin is set in beautiful grounds. Multi-lingual Syr- Daria was the perfect hostess; warm, welcoming and a great cook. Her Thai curry was fabulous. She also helped us by posting on my glasses when I left them behind - this was a much appreciated kindness.

“Beautiful farm”

We had a lovely stay here. The Garden is so beautiful and there are even walking paths and trails. We loved watching all the birds, especially the hummingbirds. We will definitely be back.

“Highly recommended”

Magical farm run by a sweet couple. Amazing homemade breakfast. Cecile was very friendly and gave us a lot of tips on what to do in the area. Beautiful room and balcony.

Beautiful place, amazing hospitality and fantastic breakfast

What a perfect piece of heaven. We enjoyed the cabin, the beautiful surroundings, the birds, and the forest ambiance. It was great relaxing in the pool and jacuzzi, and the breakfast was good. Cecil is a wonderful host with lots of good advice who really cares for her guests.

“Highly recommended”

The setup with the room in the beautiful and large garden makes it so private! We loved the outside porch. Cécile is such a warm and welcoming personality. She gave us great tips for exploring the surroundings.

“3 nights in Paradies”

everything. It starts with the awesome hospitality of Cecile and Eric. Everyone is so nice and kind. Then there is the rich, very special and always fresh breakfast each morning which gets you started for a fun packed day. You have so many opportunities to do in the area, like Tenorio with Rio Celeste or a night jungle tour and many more. But you can also just stay on the finca grounds and explore. There we have seen tons of different birds (including 3 types of toucans) as well as white faced monkeys. The cabins have a really high standard and nothing was missing. Cecile provided us with the best tips were we could have a great dinner. Our whole family never wanted to leave - It was our last stop on our trip but we couldn’t have chosen a better place.

“peaceful nature setting”

We loved the peaceful setting in the middle of nature. Comfy beds and Eric and Cecile provided lots of tips and recommendations for places to visit and eat. Thank you for a lovely stay.
