Hotels with Jacuzzi in Room in Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí

Great property with tons of wildlife, great activities and great food. Staff was super attentive and very helpful. Family had a great time, will definitely stay again if I find myself in this part of Costa Rica again.

Beautiful natural environment, amazing wildlife. Great staff and food is amazing. Rooms are wonderful

Tirimbina is a research facility located on extensive grounds with tropical plantings, colorful birds and a variety of wildlife. The best reason to stay here is to have the opportunity to explore Tirimbina's vast rainforest accessed via the longest suspension bridge in the region. We spent two days just roaming the excellent trails and saw a good number of birds and wildlife. There are a variety of room types offered, some with no a/c & a shared bath, but we booked the deluxe room with a/c and were pleasantly surprised at how clean, quiet and comfortable it was, with a nice hot shower and a lovely semi-private patio. The entire staff was very welcoming, especially the lady who checked us in and the included breakfast buffet the next morning was delicious with a nice variety of foods. Tirimbina is one of the better hotels in the sarapiqui region and we would definitely stay here again.

The Lodge was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and professional. The restaurant was very good (for breakfast and dinner) and the reserve was amazing we saw many animals. We booked a guided night tour and it was a fascinating experience. Muchas gracias !

This was our favorite place that we stayed on our 10-day trip. It was beautiful to be immersed in the rainforest. Hammocks on the front porch were a perfect way to relax in the rain during the day. The staff was so friendly and seemed really happy to be working here. The whole stay felt like a retreat. The traditional breakfast was complete with a lot of fresh fruit and filled us up for the day! We also added a night tour and got to see a lot of animals - highly recommend. Overall this was an amazing place to visit and lodge at. In the area, there were several typical restaurants (sodas) with very fair prices for lunch and dinner. The one we ate at (closest to the reserve) was one of our favorites from our entire trip around the country. This whole experience was the most authentic and least touristy experience of our trip.

Great location on the banks of the Sarapiqui River, impressive suspension bridge walkway across the river to the tropical forest on the other side, very good guided tours at night and in day time. Friendly restaurant with reasonable food for dinner and breakfast. Simple but comfortable rooms. Be sure to also book a visit to "Dave and Daves" park 150 metres down the road as well for good visibility of local animal and bird species.

Room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was buffet style with fresh foods. Juice and coffee were great. The location was the best. It was far enough away from the main road for quiet sleeping and at the same time being close enough to town to walk in a eat or shop.

Sleeping in the « domo » (the yurt) was truly magical. we could thus hear nature better. The bedroom and bathroom area were spacious, comfortable and very clean. The garden and the property are really gorgeous We took advantage of it to take the 4km walk in the forest path into the property. The view from the restaurant is incredible for breakfast. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Our guests was super kind and helpful!

Stayed here for a night to break a long journey, stayed on for a local guide arranged by lodge on cacao growing & production which was amazing, so educational & delicious. The accommodation including super huge bed in lovingly built traditional buildings set right in jungle surroundings. Fantastic marked trail around grounds to explore the jungle and kitchen garden. A big bonus was the pool where we sat and watched the monkeys playing in the trees above. Also had dinner which was excellent and met the owner who is friendly, passionate about the environment and really helpful.

The location was fabulous. Garden paths through the property a big extra. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed meeting the owner of the property. Would definitely stay here again.

The property is very peaceful, with mature gardens and a network of trails to explore the property further. They have a beautiful vegetable and fruit garden, and everything at the restaurant was delicious and fresh!

Quiet, beautiful surrounding (park & pond), large room, delicious breakfast & dinner.

We had an amazing stay at Wendy's place. If you would like a true Costa Rican experience staying with a beautiful family in your own house, then this is for you. Order breakfast and dinner every day and you will be very happy that you did! Wendy's mother brings breakfast to you, and her sister the evening meal. The food is delicious and plentiful and we had enough often to take for lunch when we were out and about. The birding morning with Wendy was great, and she arranged a fantastic river trip where we were the only two folks plus the captain and a young guide! We were adopted by the three family dogs and they almost always accompanied us on our walks up and down the road looking for birds. There is a tree a couple of hundred yards down the road that has 50 plus Oronpendula nests! We loved our 5 nights here and felt like we became part of their family.

Wendy runs these lodges on behalf of the entire family who are resident nearby and what an amazing job she does! We loved our stay in Eco Lodge 1. It had everything we needed for our 2 night adventure in Sarapiqui. We also enjoyed a fab evening frog tour with Wendy who is so knowledgeable. She also kindly organised in house massages with her sister which were so relaxing and good value. Wendy also organised white water rafting and chocolate tours for us, which we cannot fault and would highly recommend. We were also lucky to walk to the local waterfall which was just breathtaking. The views from the balcony, the comfy beds, the space and the well stocked kitchen was perfect for us to experience beautiful Sarapiqui. Hot water too! The value for this stay is just incredible.

Authentic experience, amazing hosts. A wonderful family. Much more to the place and family that own and run the accommodation than just running the accommodation. An inspiring bunch of humans that have lots of great ideas, talents and a big heart x Wendy is also an exceptional nature guide, loved our night tour. The waterfall close by is amazing and very quiet (we had it our ourselves). The food was delicious and the dogs were fabulous too, followed us everywhere! We saw so much and wildlife from our balcony.. Howler monkeys, toucans, macaws, hummingbirds.. A little piece of true Costa rican magic right there 💙🌍 I'd love to return one day.

This "Guest House" is huge. A family of 4+ could easily move in here and live comfortably. The back decks are beautiful to just sit and watch the jungle. It is a little way down the road from the city, which means it is quiet and very laid back. I had both a breakfast and a dinner while at the guest house. Both were great portions with a lot of variety, tasty, and well worth the money. Unfortunately, my schedule and Wendy's schedule didn't align for her bird tour. There was lots of flora and fauna to explore. My personal sightings included Toucans and a Morpha butterfly. I'm willing to bet that there was a lot I missed that Wendy could have found and shared!

We had an amazing stay. The location of the house is perfect, surrounded by nature. Many birds and other animals to see! Wendy and her family are so kind. Breakfast and dinner, made by Rita, tasted really good. Oso the dog showed us the way to a beautiful waterfall and swimming place nearby. Sarapiqui is a nice region, a lot of nature to explore without crowds. Don't hesitate, just book this place. You won't regret it.

We loved, loved, loved this place. This beautiful lodge and reserve is set right on the fabulous Sarapiqui River. Get a room facing it! The room was so big, modern, and comfortable. We loved the dining hall with its delicious and expansive breakfast (included), and dinner buffet ($25 USD). The pool and pool deck, are wonderful as well. Nature hikes all leave from here, and you can cross the river into the lodge's private reserve, only with a guide. Make sure to do the water rafting. So fun! The staff was wonderful, helpful, and accommodating. They keep the place spotless. Would definitely go back!

From the moment I arrived the staff were polite and very helpful. My room was spacious and clean and in a beautiful setting among the trees by the river. The hotel manager was kind enough to send me an electronic copy of a bird field guide so that I could identify the numerous types found around the grounds. The hotel grounds are truly beautiful and well maintained with wildlife abounding in the various trails and paths. Designed so that visitors can walk around in the heaviest of rainfall without getting wet. There is a veranda at the restaurant where you can eat breakfast and watch the birds coming to feed on fruit put out by the staff. Easily reached in two hours using the public buses from San Jose. Breakfast was well prepared and very tasty, both continental and local dishes available.

Rustic lodges with great facilities and setting. We were lucky to have a river view losge, we could have sat all day bird watching.. The rooms are large with seating area inside and out. Beds are comfy and the rooms have air con and fans. The pool was small but clean. Breakfast was ample and a great view over the bird feeding station. The pasta/pizza was excellent. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. We did a morning and evening tour and our guide Carlos was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay here and could have stayed longer. Advice would be to ask for a room away from the road as it is a main road and very busy and noisy!

Wonderful location ! Our room was large, comfortable and faced the river . The staff all had a smile for us and worked so hard to keep the walkways clear ,the grounds inviting , the rooms immaculate and the food tasty! The bird life at Selva Verde - wow. We experienced a Bird tour and Nature tour with Carlos who was extremely knowledgeable ,friendly and so helpful. By placing my phone on his telescope he videotaped two Great green Macaws preening each other for me. I am so grateful . He was one of many guides we had that made our trip to Costa Rica an exceptional experience . We also saw a number of different frogs. A Boa Constrictor. River otter. Kinkajou. Four eyed Opossum and more !Fantastic

The rainforest setting next to the river was fabulous and we saw lots of Wildlife of various kinds. The staff were warm friendly and helpful. The guided night nature tour was excellent led by Elkin. Our room was very pleasant, comfortable, and clean. The food options in the dining room were adequate but not exceptional. The food options in the Italian restaurant or good.

I felt like I had a good sense of this incredible destination from other reviews and was not disappointed. It's stunning and well-worth the rugged journey. The views are breath-taking and the wildlife abundant, from the 3 toucans who greeted us outside the bedroom window on our arrival, to the howler monkeys, cows, and countless other birds and creatures. We stayed two nights with our college-aged children and planned for a rest day on the property in between, but there was too much right there to see and explore for any resting! Our horseback riding tour was a highlight-- calm and confident horses and friendly capable guides-- I highly recommend. The night tour through the jungle was fascinating for most of us, and slightly frightening for one of us. ;-) We were well taken care-of, generous hospitality, and delicious meals. Our entire Costa Rican experience was amazing, and Mirador Prendas was the top of the list.

Remote location was amazing with beautiful views and waterfall on property just a short hike away. Very quiet and secluded area. Nixon was our service specialist who brought us our meals to eat on the balcony and assisted with anything we needed. Very personal service

The breakfast was amazing and it was delivered to our floor. Nixon was an amazing host, he was super helpful! We can highly recommend to stay there.

Amazing view, the place is ideal if you want to observe birds. People were very kind with us. Dinner and breakfast were good. Better to have a 4x4 to go there.

The location is very remote but worth it. Waking up to the sound of birds and nature was amazing. The staff is also super friendly and accomodating and the view is unbeatable.

Being in the middle of a beautiful protected ecosystem where one can explore the wonders of nature and take advantage of the expert guides from the station is simple amazing. It is inspiring to be around all the young people who are there studying, too. The accommodations are basic but clean and the 15 minute walk to and from the dining area is truly a bonus! Just be sure to have your raincoat or an umbrella at all times. At night fireflies and the orange lights of flying beetles will help light your way. Magical! The food was a complete surprise. The chef is supremely talented and the meals were varied, nutritious and simply delicious. They serve you buffet style so you can request the appropriate portion for your need. Everything is ecologically sound. It is a hot and humid place but the showers are excellent and I just imagined standing under a cool waterfall before bedtime! With the good fans over each bed it is possible to sleep well. Excellent and inexpensive laundry service on sight. The boat trip down the Sarapiqui river is very nice, too. We saw many creatures…cayman, crocodiles, iguanas plus SO many birds.

This is a research station, not a hotel. The rooms are basic, clean, with good bed, good shower and fan. The communal kitchen provides tasty if basic meals.gluten free was no problem! Free tea and coffee throughout the day. The restaurant is easily reached by a concrete walkway from the bungalows. Plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife on the way. The main reason for going to la Selva is the reserve, which is absolutely beautiful and chockful of animals. The tours are pricey but you get to see more birds, mammals and insects than in many other well know parcs. La Selva is for wildlife lovers, and worth the money, even when it rains "-)

Breakfasts were really good with different items daily made with fresh ingredients! The room was very basic but clean and comfortable. The star of the show is the magnificent forest that has been blessed with seventy years of protection! We loved our daily walks in the majestic stillness, punctuated by wonderful sightings of Agoutis, Currasows, and Great Green Macaws! The staff was courteous and helpful. Maps and signs were very helpful in planning our walks. We had a wonderful visit!

We loved everything .We stayed here 5 years ago so returned with friends, this time. We were all very impressed with the professional staff and their friendliness and willingness to help us out.The morning nature tour was magnificent, saw plenty of wildlife and our guide Talvo was informed and so helpful and knowledgeable and had a lovely persona.Accomodation was very good, housekeeping changed sheets after 2 nights, plenty of towels and a good shower. We ate in the canteen for all meals except one.We went out to the local town one night for dinner and was very disappointed. Meals were excellent in the canteen and good value.La Selva is a very special place and if you are interested in wildlife put this on your itinerary, you won't be disappointed

Incredible wildlife right at your doorstep! The facilities are fantastic and clean. Staff are helpful and friendly and the cafeteria food is great. Would love to stay here again, you can walk along the variety of trails at any time (In our short 24hrs at the station we spotted sloths, coatis, agouti, spider monkeys, 4 species of snakes, many poison frogs, glass frogs, red-eyed tree frogs, toucans, woodpeckers, bullet ants, and much more). Note for other visitors some of the accommodations are roughly a 15-20 minute walk away from the dining hall/reception. It's a comfortable walk along a mostly flat, fully paved path but you will need torches/headlamps at night to navigate. Highly recommend all nature enthusiasts to visit La Selva Biological station

What an absolutely beautiful place to stay. Our room, Heron, overlooked the river with floor to ceiling windows. It was so peaceful with only the sound of the river flowing past. The room itself was spotlessly clean with incredibly comfortable beds. The food was simple but excellent - very fresh and tasty produce both morning and evening. The staff were incredible. Special thanks to Marcela on reception, for whom nothing was too much trouble and who went out of her way to help. The lodge has a feeding station for birds and seeing the incredible birds so close up was a truly magical experience. Do go, you won't be disappointed.

Great location if you want to do some birding, enjoy peaceful walks in nature, and relax the afternoon in a hammock listening to the birds. Our room was clean and spacious and the staff is so helpful and friendly. I would recommend this to anyone going to the Sarapiqui area in Costa Rica.

Big private property with a caiman pond and a small frog path full of poison dart small ones!!! Rooms nicely scattered around the property. Small pool close to the restaurant clean, welcoming and overlooking the river, also accessible for a fast dip. Good barbecue dinner (as supplement). Large local crew to manage the site. Bird feeding attracting many species.

The facility was terrific; the overall cleanliness was superb! Staff was super-helpful in all matters. The A/C in our first room was faulty and we were switched ASAP. The staff even moved our suitcases/belongings. We had a great river view, literally below our balcony. Food was good to excellent. Bird feeders were great for photo ops and were kept full throughout the day. Only downside to stay (5 nights) was the presence of large number of children on 1 night. Noisy! To the credit of the chaperones, the kids were in bed, lights off, at 10:00 PM, but the tranquility of the evening was lessened.

Our stay at La Quinta Sarapiqui Lodge was characterized by tremendously nice and helpful staff, aiding with guided tours and keeping our room extra tidy. In an effort to be more environmentally friendly, they only clean the rooms every third day, unless you ask for more frequent cleaning. The place has a certain ambience with very lushy surroundings, and most of the greenery around the premises is purposely not trimmed to perfection, to cater to more fauna. This means that many birds, frogs, lizards and other animals can be found just walking around. Their restaurant, while offering a slightly limited selection of items, was really good. Their chicken sandwiches were an enormous hit for our kids. Despite not offering pancakes for all our breakfasts, their kitchen made some for the kids if we only asked.
