“I can't say enough for what a great time we had at Kakao Lodge. I was skeptical at first since I usually like staying in my chain hotels that provide all the normal American comforts. But after staying here, my mind has totally changed. You can't describe how awesome it is to be able to see a half dozen different species of exotic frogs at night, or a sloth while eating breakfast, or tropic birds singing to you in the morning. And don't forget about breakfast. Everyday, we had homemade to order……
“Belle propriété avec bungalows tout neufs et très mignons. On a même vu un paresseux dans un arbre. Juste à côté de frog's paradise donc parfait pour la visite de nuit, on peut y aller à pied.
Repas et petits déjeuners très bons. Les propriétaires sont charmants et toujours prêts à rendre service.”
“Accueil extra, endroit très tranquille, immense domaine marchable, aménagement paysager superbe. Faune et flore sur la site intéressants. Communication facile en tout temps, possibilité de commander facilement dans les restau du coin avec livraison à la porte.
Stationnement à la porte. Patio avec petit frigo, mais sans possibilité de faire cuire ou chauffer de la nourriture.

“My wife and I loved this property. 3 adults and 2 children in our group. If you are okay with simple accommodations with great service and beautiful scenery you have to stay here. Grounds were immaculate when we arrived and we were greeted with 2 Toucans as we headed to our cabin. Tons of hummingbirds flying around.
This place just felt so full of life! The hikes on the property were great. Took my 77yr old dad to the waterfall. He had no issues. We were the only ones there our first……
“I can't imagine a better-equipped cabin! There's a full kitchen and dining area, a giant bathroom with great hot water, and two beds with their own TVs (it's like a having your own two-bedroom apartment!) The owner, Heylin, was extremely friendly and helpful when we arrived. The internet was super fast. We saw monkeys in the trees behind the A-frame as we sat out on the balcony and we also enjoyed a lovely thunderstorm. This is an amazing gem in the area. Definitely worth the stay if you're in……
“Endroit extraordinaire. Présence de singes, toucans et paresseux directement dans la cours. Belle galerie couverte où il est bon flâner. Les hôtes sont très gentils. Déjeuners extraordinaires. De loin mon hébergement favori du voyage; j’y serais restée encore et encore.”
“The staff is great! It was a wonderful stay close to so many places; coffee, caña and chocolate tour; sloth tour. Town is very close and close to so many authentic restaurants. Just bring your own shampoos. ”
“The people here were great and helped accommodate our late check-in. The property is a nice little get-away at the base of a volcano, has great views, and isn't too far from Liberia or other attractions. ”
“The property has amazing little creatures outside at night. The parrot is amazing. It was the only hotel that smelled good my entire trip. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was amazing. ”
“Una estancia inolvidable. El lugar esta muy cuidado, lleno de detalles. El personal es muy amables todo el tiempo, la comida es deliciosa.
Hicimos un pequeño tour para ver animales y tuvimos la suerte de contar con un guia que nos enseño un oso perezoso llamado Emma, monos aulladores, ranas, coaties, serpientes!!! toda la experiencia del bosque tropical en un solo lugar. ”
“Rio Perdido is a boutique gem in northeastern Guanacaste, about an hour from Liberia airport. Beyond its thermal river and preserved jungle, what truly sets it apart is its people.
From the start, every staff member made our stay memorable. Gabriella, the general manager, orchestrates the property with remarkable care. Ykson welcomed us at check-in, Monica flawlessly arranged our activities, and Esteban and Wilfredo made dining a joy.
We were fortunate to be there on August 15th, 2025, when……
