Excellent wildlife walk under the hotel for frogs. Poison dart, blue jean and tree frogs. A member of staff needs to accompany ypu at night

“At this time of the year we expected an exceptional stay and we are deceived”

The design of the hotel in a large jungly garden and a swimming pool

“Great staging stop before going to Tortugero”

Essentially the only accommodation in town as a staging step before you take the boat to Tortugero. Good restaurant and very helpful staff. Bonus iguanas on the tree just next to the balcony.

Beautiful, spacious, quiet. The pool is amazing. Clise to river and tours.

“Great value for money and you get what you pay for.”

The howling monkeys jumping onto the roof the hotel and mackaws in the hotel tree.

“Absolutely loved staying here and the night tour with experience Sarapiquí was fantastic”

We loved everything about el Bambú - the staff are very friendly , the room was beautiful and spacious with a balcony which felt as if it was in the rainforest

Coffee machine in the room, beautiful owl spotted outside of our room.

“Enjoyable stay. Great breakfast, comfortable and clean room”

Great stop on my Costa Rica adventure

“Lovely hotel with a great view from the balcony”

Nice hotel. Lovely pool. Room is big enough, everything is clean, great view from the balcony and comfy beds. Just make sure that you have a room at the back of the hotel ;)

Ok for one night but not for holidays. Room was big enough.

“It was good, front desk very helpful”

“A little forest oasis in the main town”

The location is central in Sarapiqui but the property goes deep into forest, so rather than just traffic, there are birds and howler monkeys to hear. There is lots of room in the suite and a comfortable balcony looking into the forest. Water is hot and AC as well as a fan. Fan is sufficient for sleeping. The attached restaurant is handy and closes at 9 or 10 p.m. Included breakfast was good. Available before 7 a.m., but larger buffet from 7-9 a.m.. Pool area had both sun and shade areas as well as a change room.

very noisy in the nights

“Friendly and helpful staff, and a good base for excursions around Sarapiqui.”

The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly Steven at reception, who helped us organise two fantastatic excursions - white water rafting with Green Rivers, and a guided tour of the Selva Biological Nature Reserve/ Research Centre. The restaurant offered typical local cuisine as well, which we enjoyed. The room was large, with a balcony.

Staff was nice

Location near the nature and the reception services. Rainforest next to the hotel, time to time hear howler monkies! I even saw an owl from my balkony. Rooms were quite spacious.

“Great stay for 1 night, good location for tours.”

Large property connected by walkways. Jungle behind.Feels like hotels in Europe, with noticeboards for tours. Buffet style breakfasts, bar area and pool and souvenir shop. Could watch birds around pool area. Parking available. Friendly staff. Pool towels provided.

“Good activities but that’s it”

Staff were helpful in booking activities and taxis, they have good links to local organisations and we loved the chocolate tour, night walk and rafting Good balconies

Lots of breakfast options. Room is clean with a view into the forest

This hotel was a lovely surprise. Booked because it's close (literally a few metres) from the bus station, it turned out to be a very comfortable and quiet place, surrounded by a small jungle. There's also a big restaurant, open all day and offering a good choice. The staff, both at the reception and at the restaurant, were very kind.
