Arenal Observatory Lodge was highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. Location and facilities are simply amazing. We didn’t expect to lay on our beds and watch volcano and toucans perched on the trees right by our windows! Staff is wonderful. Luis was our driver who picked us up in San Jose and told us a lot about area, tours and facilities during our ride. He was attentive and caring. He also delivered sunglasses we forgot in the shop in La Fortuna, was very kind of him. Carlos from reception helped us to receive our luggage which was delayed by airline. He informed us when luggage finally arrived. Trails are in very good conditions and have protection from rain every km or so. Trails were easy or moderate, so even my mum who is 64 coped with them and truly enjoyed it. Food in the restaurant is very tasty and well presented. Thanks to everyone in the Lodge who made our stay unforgettable!

Great service, amazing food with many ingredients grown at the same facilities (eggs, fish, coffee, etc.). Comfortable rooms and a feeling of contact with nature. I loved to fall asleep with the sound of the river at night.

The loveliest host and most knowledgeable about the nature and wildlife in the surrounding jungle. We had a very comfortable, clean and spacious room overlooking the wilderness with plenty of birds flying by. If you're looking for an off-grid adventure to learn more about nature, then this is the place for you. Will definitely come back next time 😊

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.
