“Beautiful lodges surrounded by nature”
Lovely secluded location with lots of privacy in each bungalow. Really comfortable rooms and great service. Hummingbirds and other birds in the trees behind our room. Hammock on the balcony was great for relaxing. Lovely walk down to the river from the accommodation. Excellent food at the restaurant. The best place we stayed during our trip to Costa Rica.

My husband and I we stayed at Rancho Cerro Azul in February 2025 during our honeymoon in Costa Rica. We really liked the hotel, but on the last morning when we were packing I couldn’t find a painting that I had bought as a souvenir. I had left it on the nightstand beside my bed, in the bag from the shop, but it wasn’t there anymore. We were leaving early, before the front desk opened. I contacted the hotel later that day, and after a lot of research, they found it in the trash that had been taken from our bedroom the day before. The cleaning team thought it was garbage so it was thrown away (it didn’t look like garbage, and it was far away from the trash bin…). But we were so happy they had found it, and said it was in good condition (it was protected by a cardboard and there wasn’t much in that garbage). I asked if they could bring the painting to Cañas where we were for the night, or at the Liberia airport because we were leaving the next day. They couldn’t. I asked if they could mail it to Canada and they said yes, no problem. Two months later, after multiple messages, they still haven’t mailed it, and don’t answer most of my messages anymore. I would not recommend this hotel.

“Strongly recommend”
Our stay here was great. The room was very spacious, it was clean, there was a nice balcony to sit outside and the surroundings were very green. It is a little bit on the outside of La Fortuna but for us this was great to have a calmer environment.

This place is a perfect balance of convenience and nature. It's ideally located, just a short drive from the town, yet feels like a peaceful retreat surrounded by beautiful nature. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

“Quiet, cool, and adventurous”
When I arrived, the staff was very kind and patient with me. I forgot to return my key and they were understanding when I came back to return it. They also provided me with a printed list of nearby tour options that saved me time in figuring out my plan the following day. I fell asleep early and woke up in the middle of the night. I’m thankful they had a tv with a Netflix subscription to occupy me. Additionally, I accidentally locked myself out and the staff was very accommodating. As a solo traveler, I felt very safe at this lodging location too.

“Great rooms - not so great service”
We stayed in a standart room with two double beds. In fact you get a whole bungalow with outdoor kitchen and balcony - very cool! The accommodation is 5 min cardrive outside of La Fortuna near our favorite restaurant El Chante Verde. Parking is included.

The staff were so sweet & helpful. I asked via e-mail to book some tours, so they would be ready for us from day 1. We got excellent recommendations & the tours were also 1st class. The breakfast was nice & the rooms are all facing the green jungle with a nearby path directly to the little river.
