Hotel San Rafael Ecolodge

Lovely People and wonderful handmade food. Thank you very much.

We loved staying for 4 nights at this Ecolodge. This is a beautiful hotel which is in the midst of a lush garden, abundant with plants, birds and cicadas. Many colourful frogs come out at night. We saw a sloth on our second day at this property. and we spotted and heard our first toucan here as well. Anytime that we were not spotting the wildlife, we would play with Thor, the resident dog. Thor was always ready to play “fetch the stick” at any time of the day. The hotel location was perfect because we were only 30 minutes’ drive from the busy centre of La Fortuna yet we were close to the main attractions like Místico Park, the Bogarin Trail, the Chocolate plantation, and other activities. The best aspect of our stay were the hosts- Giovanni Cespedes, the owner, and the hotel manager, Luis. They were kind, generous, and always ready to assist with any of our requests. The daily breakfasts and the restaurant meals were consistently excellent. Meals were always freshly prepared. My daughters ordered their delicious chicken Nachos dish over 3 seperate meals!! We highly recommend that you stay for more than 3 nights so that you can fully enjoy all that this hotel has to offer.

Nothing …except that we wished we could have stayed longer than 4 nights!

Quiet and the owner Giovanni and staff were friendly and helpful and provided food and were flexible to our needs to leave early

Nothing

We had a wonderful stay. The room was comfortable and very clean, and the entire property was well maintained. The food was delicious, the pool area was beautiful and relaxing, and the natural surroundings made the place feel peaceful and special. The owner was incredibly kind and friendly, providing warm and attentive service that made us feel very welcome. Excellent experience overall and great value for the price. We would happily come here again.

Nothing. I couldn't complain of anything.
