Everything about our stay here was fantastic! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast was perfect for a day of exploring and we always came back to a delicious dinner. There was so much to do on the property alone and was a great place to reach other parts of town while also being in more of a local area.

With one small exception, absolutely everything! If you want to stay near Arenal and explore the rainforests around the volcano, this is the place to go and stay. Views are out of this world and accomodations are great. Loved their focus on sustainability and eco-tourism. We stayed for three nights but could easily have spent a week.

Lovely place immersed in the nature! Very safe also for female solo travel, even if it’s a bit isolated. The tent is really functional and it’s like a proper room with all comforts. I had a lovely time also with Felix and the cows that live in front of the tent. It was a blessing to wake up in the nature like that! And it’s in front of a volcano!

Very private and safe cabin with stunning volcano views. The cabin is well equipped with everything you would need for meals. The benches outside are so cute and perfect to sit down and watch all the beautiful birds that come by. It was one of our favourite stays of the trip?

Absolutely amazing place run by great hosts. Definitely a highlight of our vacation in CR. They have their own forest where you can take a walk or you can chill in a hammock in their stunning garden full of birds. Ideal place for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful nature.

The view from the property was amazing! It was a bit cloudy sometimes but we could usually see Arenal poking through. The garden is so beautiful, and attracts gorgeous butterflies and hummingbirds. My dad had a great time just sitting on the patio and enjoying the sound of the jungle, watching all the wildlife surrounding the cottage. It was so peaceful and relaxing there. We also found the resident sloth on the road next to the house! The mural on the walls of the house is unbelievably beautiful!! The house was compact but had everything you needed - hot water, wifi, washing machine, AC, fully equalised kitchen, and even a smart TV. We really enjoyed staying there, and the price was great too!

Excellent service. The rooms are perfect and comfortable with a nice view of the river. Great breakfast. And a paradise for birdwatching. Macaws and many more. Augusto is a great host, and the owner, Alfonso, and his family will make you feel at home.

The Lodge had everything you could want when exploring a rainforest in Costa Rica! Free morning walks with a guide, plenty of trails for independent exploring, tractor rides through the grounds, free buffet style breakfast, delicious options for lunch and supper, comfortable pool and hot tub, gorgeous room with a view of Lake Arenal, and much more! This was my favorite place we visited while in Costa Rica and I could not give it enough compliments. Everyone was so kind and I would recommend it 10/10!

Absolutely beautiful views. The staff was very friendly and responded to all my messages via what'sapp right away. The lodge is very cute, small and quiet, and I love how clean and well-kept it is. Thought it was pretty cool they had brown labs as tour guides. The breakfast was good and great options.

The breakfast was great - a full meal, either typical Costa Rican breakfast or pancakes & eggs, + coffee/tea. Very well worth it especially from a cost perspective! The grounds were also so beautiful, well-maintained garden path to each lodge. The family can also help arrange transportation & recommend tours (though pricing may be a bit higher than taxis). This was also the only place we stayed in Costa Rica that actually had hot water for the shower! AC is also very updated/strong.

It was the highlight of our non successful trip to Poás volcano (we had clouds). The staff were super helpful and friendly, the lodge was spacious and cosy, we liked how you have a tv with netflix etc so that you have entertainment in bad weather. Our first glamping trip and we loved it here

Close to the airport, a great dip in the pool, a delicious breakfast, a responsive and welcoming host...we couldn't have asked for more! The host even helped us order late night pizza since we got into San Jose a bit late. We all agreed that upon returning to Costa Rica, we will definitely always land at Uruka Lodge!

Great food! Exceptional staff. Our last 3 nights in Costa Rica were spent here at La Tigra Rainforest Lodge. The cabin that Adolfo built was very special. We highly recommend this property.

We enjoyed the remoteness of the lodge from the bustling tourist hot spot of La Fortuna, as well as the remoteness of our bungalow (with jungle view) from all the rest of the bungalows on site. Breakfasts were good, and a booked evening dinner was excellent. The view of Arenal volcano is mentioned in virtually every review of this accommodation, and with good reason - nothing better than sitting with a bottle of red watching the sun go down and the volcano slowly disappearing into the dark and the gathering cloud.

The rainforest setting is so beautiful. The lodges are completely immersed. Dozens of birds can be heard. Three friendly dogs and 2 cats live on the property and come visit. We stayed in a 3 bedroom private lodge that had everything we needed to sleep comfortably and prepare food. The owner and staff are very responsive and help book tours and rides.
