Check-in was smooth and they originally had us on a second floor but changed it to a main floor room upon our request. The rooms are large and comfortable. The pool looked lovely and the restaurant was a good size. The included breakfast was fine. The only disappointment was the restaurant wasn't open for dinner as indicated on the website. We would definitely recommend a stay here."

Top Carara National Park Hotel Reviews

Nomad Living CR

10/10 Excellent

"El lugar es muy bonito y limpio. La piscina muy rica!"

Akua Ocean View Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This place was nice for the price you pay! A trek from the Airport , about $250 spent on round trip and an hour and a half each way . The space was nice .. room looks exactly like the pictures. The second night tho the lights , which include the AC went out for about 3-4 hours .. it was so hot ! Eventually it came back on but just a little annoying trying to sleep in that . Aside from those things , the space itself was definitely worth what you pay for and Uber was readily available and was how we got around for the most part. The gate closes and locks at a certain time so we felt extra security with that feature."

Hotel Cerro Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great place for the price."
