“Highly recommend!”

We had a wonderful stay at Cecropia Ecolodge, Nohelia the host was brilliant and her passion for the lodge and the wildlife was evident and great to see. The breakfast was great - good portions and enjoyable food, and it was great to be able to sit and eat this whilst watching the birds. The room itself was nice with a comfortable bed, good shower and great water pressure, and well sealed to the insects outside especially given its location surrounded by nature. We did both the day tour and the night tour and found these to be great experiences and very different from each other. We saw lots of animals on the night tour - especially many varieties of frogs! Nohelia was able to explain all the wildlife, trees and plants in detail. She made me feel very comfortable doing the tour which was great as I had been nervous about the night tour and the animals we might have seen (being somewhat scared of snakes and spiders), but I was put at ease straight away. The day tour was also great, we had Jay as a guide and he was brilliant, we saw how the lodge grows various plants including herbs, fruits and trees. We walked a slightly different path to the night tour, and we saw animals such as a toucan. We also had the opportunity to all plant a tree which was a lovely experience to be part of. At the end of our stay Nohelia also advised us on things to do during the rest of our trip and this proved to be very helpful! We would highly recommend this accommodation - even if you don't do the additional tours, there is still so much to see around the property! But that said we did enjoy the extras and would recommend these tours - it made it possible to see so much more!

“Two days in paradise”

We loved everything. I think a 4x4 is more than mandatory to get there. But everything was perfect. Thank you Jay for this magical moment!

“A one of a kind experience!”

EVERYTHING! This was a one of a kind experience! The location was perfect , we saw so much wildlife- we started the day bird watching at breakfast, breakfast was delicious and we saw soo many species of birds , different ones each day too! The hosts were extremely friendly and knowledgeable and one night took us to spot frogs and there we saw snakes eating them! It was all so peaceful being in the heart of nature.

“Great experiance in jungle, with night walk and lovely hosts.”

Great location in the jungle. You must do the night walk with Jay. Had a lovely dinner there for one night after our night walk. Lovely hosts share all their knowledge of nature and Costa Rica. Planned to spend one night, but stayed for two. Visited the nearby mineral baths in the loud jungle on weekday, and was nearly empty of people. We also saw lizards and other animals there. Off the beaten track, but that’s half the reason for staying there for us. You need a 4WD car to get there, especially the last couple of kms.

Amazing place to see the nature and animals of la Fortuna. Very friendly and nice owners, will help you with all the things. Incredible breakfast, from the terrace you can watch the birds:))) Definitely stay in this place even for one night to see all the flora and fauna of la Fortuna.

“Peaceful, welcoming, and surrounded by nature”

My husband and I spent one night at Cecropia Ecolodge, and I wish we could have stayed longer. It’s a beautiful place surrounded by nature, and the hosts take very good care of it. Our cabin was clean, spacious, and cozy. The breakfast was very good. We also took a night tour with Jay, and we really enjoyed it, even though we didn’t have the luck of finding any snakes that night :) We really liked this place and would love to stay there again in the future.

The location is incredible: right in the middle of the rainforest, completely surrounded by nature and far away from mass tourism. A 4x4 is basically required for the last kilometers, and on colder or rainy nights you’ll be glad to have a warm pajama. The accommodation itself is very well maintained and in great condition. The large property has its own well-kept trails, perfect for exploring the rainforest straight from your doorstep. Breakfast was a daily highlight – not just delicious, but the view with birds right in front of the terrace was absolutely breathtaking. Don’t miss the night walk through the rainforest either (bring good shoes!). The hosts are genuinely wonderful people. Every recommendation they gave us was thoughtful and spot on, and we really appreciated their effort to support local businesses. Simply outstanding.

“Nice lodge with beautiful grounds”

The grounds were beautiful. We did the night walk which was great. Jay was very knowledgeable about the area, insects and frogs. Watching the birds at breakfast was wonderful.

Lovely place, very nice hosts, fantastic place

“Phenomenal stay with wonderful staff. Everything about this place screams authentic ecolodging hosted by people that tru”

Wonderful. Extremely authentic eco lodge

“You must go here!”

Our stay at Cecropia Ecolodge truly made our time in the La Fortuna area. It was so special to stay surrounded by nature, and Jay and Nohelia were the kindest people we met during our trip. Their passion for the environment and wildlife is truly infectious. A few things we would love to highlight: • The food (both breakfast and dinner) was amazing • The rooms were very clean • It’s a bit of a drive from La Fortuna, but the road there is absolutely beautiful • Every morning at 7:00 AM they feed the birds near the dining area, which is such a peaceful and special way to start the day • The night tour with Jay is an absolute must. We were a bit nervous at first, but it turned out to be such a cool experience seeing so many animals in the dark If you’re still deciding where to stay around La Fortuna, choose this place. You won’t regret it.

We were looking for something small and charming where we could immerse ourselves in Costa Rica's nature in peace and quiet. We found that here. Nohelia and Jay took great care of us. Thanks to them, we learned a lot about Costa Rica and the people here, and of course about the flora and fauna.

“Away from it all, close to love and nature”

Surrounded by nature and good host

“Stunning!”

Absolute stunning place in the middle of the jungle. The owners were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all the creatures (birds, reptiles etc) around the place. Rooms are nice and clean. Highly recommended!

“A total hidden gem!”

Stunning location, simple but comfortable rooms and super friendly hosts. Fabulous night tour!

This gorgeous find was a highlight of our whole trip in Costa rica! The owners are passionate and warm. They couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was as informative, relaxing, and involving as possible.

“A paradise in the jungle!”

To be inside the forest-jungle and wake up with the sounds of birds is unbeatable. If you also add the amazing hosts and the night walk with an experienced guide then you cannot be disappointed. One of the places that you stay and never forget.

“Unforgetable stay”

The ecolodge is very quiet, far from town, in the middle of the forest. Paradise is near. Many many Thanks to Noelia. She is so nice for everybody. She knows how to cook for your health. It's very good. We kept in memory a unforgetable souvenir. We highly recommand this adress.

“Wonderful stay in the midst of nature”

Friendly staff, cool night tour, good food and stunning nature. We loved everything about our stay!

“Impressive and serene”

This is one of the best accommodations I have stayed at in all of my years of traveling. Noelia and Jay, the owners, make sure you feel welcome and provide excellent service throughout the stay. It is an amazing reforestation project that is brimming with life. We really enjoyed the walk along the trail there and just relaxing in nature. They also serve delicious breakfasts and dinners. Important: Make sure to have a 4WD, because a normal car will struggle to get you there. If you have a regular car, you can park it safely 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) from the property (exact location: 10°18'54.9"N 84°34'52.8"W).
