We enjoyed staying at Tirimbina Eco Lodge. It was perfect for us to explore the reserve.

The location was ideal for wildlife watching. We enjoyed two excellent guided walks with very qualified and interesting guides that spoke good English. Our room was very comfortable and spacious with a lovely terrace where we could watch birds and reptiles. The suspension bridge

This is a fantastic place, you have access to all tracks and wildlife in this amazing rainforest

The room was really comfortable and from our balcony we could see and hear so much wildlife. Hummingbirds, squirrels, woodpecker etc and Merlin could hear so many more. In the day we wandered throughout the reserve without a guide and saw Howler and Capuchin Monkeys, a sloth, toucans, iguanas, poison dart frogs, lizards and so many birds

From the backyard of the room you can jump in the rainforest!

The room is clean, large, with comfortable beds but the highlight is that beyond the backyard starts the rainforest!

Room was a good size and comfortable. Lodge is within a reserve with lots of birds, iguanas and other wildlife. Secure parking area is a comfort- and a good wildlife spotting area!

I enjoyed the stay but the security staff kept us awake until 1am. Pretty frustrating given that we had a bird tour book

Having access to the forest was fantastic.

Great reserve and authentic lodges with great guides

We were upgraded which made the value for money very good including the pass to the park (we paid 86€ for two people). - They can provide you with great guides! We had an awesome experience with ours for the twilight tour.

Nice stay with nice trails

The room was spacious and clean. The trails on the property were a nice addition. We encounter an howler monkey while crossing the bride.

A brilliant rainforest experience

In the middle of the rainforest so great fauna and flora. Really enjoyed the night walk. Lovely watching wildlife from your breakfast table. It would be great if they could rent out some good binoculars.

Great location on the Sarapiqui River with pristine forest, good guides, comfortable rooms.

Great location on the banks of the Sarapiqui River, impressive suspension bridge walkway across the river to the tropical forest on the other side, very good guided tours at night and in day time. Friendly restaurant with reasonable food for dinner and breakfast. Simple but comfortable rooms. Be sure to also book a visit to "Dave and Daves" park 150 metres down the road as well for good visibility of local animal and bird species.

In a biological reserve so interesting, but quite basic.

Breakfast was basic but satisfactory. The location is good; nice trails to follow although not lots of animals to see. The chocolate tour was fun! Dave and Dave’s up the road is worth a visit whilst you’re staying here - amazing birds to see close up.

The private reserve with the trails a d bridges is the main reason for staying in this lodge. The guides are knowledgeable and they're are animals like sloths, monkeys and green iguanas right around the buildings. There's a coffee maker and tea and coffee available in the room.
