Hacienda Santa Maria Hotellit

”I can't say enough for what a great time we had at Kakao Lodge. I was skeptical at first since I usually like staying in my chain hotels that provide all the normal American comforts. But after staying here, my mind has totally changed. You can't describe how awesome it is to be able to see a half dozen different species of exotic frogs at night, or a sloth while eating breakfast, or tropic birds singing to you in the morning. And don't forget about breakfast. Everyday, we had homemade to order...

”We loved our stay here. We saw others who regretted not staying more than one night so we booked 2. It was my kids favorite place of the whole vacation. Next time we will stay even longer. We did the horse riding and also had a farm experience one day. The meals were delicious and the wildlife was stunning. Excellent hosts and staff! Thank you! ”

”The hosts are amazing and make you feel very welcomed. They are some of the best hosts we’ve ever had. Breakfast was so good and the property is very beautiful. We had an amazing time exploring the area while we were there. I stayed with two young boys and they loved it here. ”

”La cuisine etait parfaite pour cuisiner mais la piscine laissait a desirer. Les enfants ont adoré la glissade deau mais la 2ieme piscine et le spa netait pas ouvert et leau etait horrible. La piscine netait pas ouverte en tout temps comme nous laurions voulu, comme le matin a 9h00. ”

”Cute cabins, we even had a sloth in the tree next to us! Delicious dinner in the restaurant ”

”The staff were very helpful. We had a tour of the grounds to see birds, plants, bats and a sloth. The breakfast was very good. It was very clean and comfortable.”

”This is a great place to experience the nature around Rincon volcano. Easy access to the national park as well as multiple hiking trail associated with the property. ”

”Very good stay in the countryside near to the NP. Very kind owners.”

”El desayuno estaba incluido, pero cocinero que es de muy mala calidad. Cantidad pero comida grasosa sin sabor, sin atención y sin amor.”

”Nice room with perfectly renovated bathroom (I had #2). Good air condition and bed. Perfect for a quick early morning drive to the airport. Nice surroundings but close to main thoroughfare and restaurants and just across from downtown. (I brought a sleeping pill to sleep through the moderate street noise). Coffee available in lobby, nice surroundings and friendly bilingual personal, easy check in. Great value, recommended! ”

”Was a great place to stay.”

”Jardín Entre Montañas was one of our most memorable stays in Costa Rica. The family who runs it is incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can feel the care and pride they have put into everything. The cabins are very cute, simple, and spotlessly clean—clearly built with love by the family themselves. It feels personal and genuine, not commercial. The gardens are beautiful, peaceful, and private. They also gave us a night tour where we saw tree frogs and birds, which was a highlight. Breakfast...

” A long and bumpy ride up to the lodge. As soon as you check in they force you to pay for breakfast as you are disoriented and tired from the ride. You are told you are not allowed to decide in the morning if you are even hungry. Paid for two for breakfast. In the morning only one could eat breakfast because the other was sick. Asked for a refund for the one, two weeks later never received it compensation. Also Couldn’t even open my balcony door because the outside smell of sewage. Paper thin...

”Personal muy amable, estuve muy agusto los días que estuve en Bijagua”

”D”

”Breakfast fine. Ac in good condition. Hotel not in close proximity to restaurants.”

”The casitas are nestled right in the rainforest, completely immersing you in the sights and sounds of nature. Within minutes of arriving, Jeff pointed out a sloth in a nearby tree and howler monkeys overhead—such an unforgettable introduction to the area. The sounds of the forest are incredibly peaceful (though the howler monkeys do provide a memorable early morning wake-up call!). One of the most touching moments of our stay was how kind Jeff was to our son. He had been playing with a soccer...
