When we pulled up to this hotel, we were surprised how secluded it felt. It's BEAUTIFUL and has so much wildlife literally out your front door. We saw monkeys outside our rooms every day! The staff is more friendly than you could hope for, and the food was exceptional. They really did their best to make us feel welcome. It's... More

We stayed here for 2 nights but were unable to really take advantage of the grounds as we left early each morning and returned late each evening. This was a little disappointing as the various trails around the hotel looked very appealing. The accomadation is a little on the basic side but clean and very comfortable. However the hospitality supplied... More

I stayed here back in 2010 for nearly 6 weeks as I was working in the area. I absolutely loved my stay here. I felt at home. The owner Jean-Pierre and his family are fantastic hosts along with the amazing service of his chambermaid/cook. The lodges have a boutique feel and therefore never overcrowded. The swimming pool feels like it... More

We decided to go to this hotel during our Flexivoucher trip just after we arrived in Costa Rica; a beautiful hotel to get used to the environment and allow ourselves a slow start. The owner was very nice and the premises were very quaint. We loved our room and the seccluded swimmingpool next to the forest's edge, not to mention... More

We did spent 2 nights in this marvellous place in August 2012. First surprise was the wonderful location, really in the middle of nature between forest, bush and a small creek. The next good thing was the welcome by the owner, Jean-Pierre. Not only did he make us feel at home, but we got a detailed explanation about the area... More

When we arrived at the lodge we were warmly received by Jean Pierre and his dog. After we put our luggage in our room, we started the walk through the forest, a nice trail on the lodge's own grounds. The dog was joining us! Afterwards the cool beer on our private porch was very good! The rooms are spacious and... More

We stayed 2 nights with our family at La Hacienda. The personal hospitality of Jean-Pierre and the service of his staff was awesome. They do anything to make you feel at home, the rooms were very comfortable, From the terrace at the restaurant you have a wonderfull view at the garden and pound with its beautifull plants and wild animals...

Costa Rica is an overwhelming experience... and there are some jewels in the crown. Like Hacienda La Isla. A few hundred meter off road, and suddenly... hundreds of miles from 'Western hectic reality'. Nature, optima forma. Tranquility. A small scale honest accommodation, with all the comfort you can wish and even more hospitality. If you want a 'whow' experience, want... More

We toured Costa Rica in September 2011. We were very surprised when we saw the rooms! Very beautiful and very clean! The food was also very good, as were the fruitcoctails. :-) In the early morning, we went for a walk in their wonderful garden. Lots of animals and plants. The owner was very friendly and took his time to... More
