San Rafael Ecolodge

Guests who stayed here loved

“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!”
