Upala hotels from HK$308

"This place is so clean and beautifully done. Absolutely loved our stay"

"This is a wonderful location near the national park. If you are wanting to hike the waterfall trail in the national park, it is only about a 5-10 minute drive from this hotel. The hotel is unique in its design and location. It is nestled into the natural surroundings, and the grounds are lovely. There is a further hike across the road on some grounds owned by the hotel, and it is a nice little introduction to the rainforest. There are multiple bird species in the garden. The hotel has wide floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the valley, and you can birdwatch from the main dining area. The food here is excellent as well. There is homemade bread with fruit/eggs/porridge in the mornings. The coffee is also plentiful and good. Some may find that these rooms need "updating" to modern decor, and that may be true. But, I found the rooms to be clean and well-maintained. The aesthetic of this hotel is unique, and I appreciate this more than any standard boring aesthetic from contemporary hotels that all look the same. The owner has clearly put thought into the decor, and it reflects the unique personality of this hotel. I would definitely stay here again. This are remains relatively undeveloped, and it is a good getaway from more touristy areas of Costa Rica."

"Amazing stay! The staff is very friendly and the view is awesome! Very well located."

"My Family has the pleasure of staying in this home for a week and we wish it was much longer. Patrick is an exceptional host. From pre vacation communication and questions, to setting up our airport transfer, drivers for the week, excursions He is nothing but accommodating. I wouldn’t hesitate to encourage any Friend or Family member to stay here. Patrick and his Team made us feel so comfortable and the breakfast was incredible. The house is very comfortable and to echo other reviews the pool house, grounds, amenities, and the views from the terrace didn’t dissapoint. Travel trip for those who make not be too familiar. WhatsApp and Zelle are both utilized heavily - set both up before you go!This is the perfect spot to setup base to explore the Lake Arenal area!!We will be back!"

"Love this place. The owner was very helpful and hospitable, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The property offers plenty of trails and activities, so there’s really no need to leave—you can fully enjoy your time right there. Also, the food at the restaurant is excellent. Highly recommend."

"Gerardina y Rose con su amabilidad le dan calor al lugar. Por el precio acordado obtuvimos un buen lugar, tranquilo, con lo necesario. Muy cerca del Parque. El desayuno y el almuerzo muy buenos. Nuestro único inconveniente, (que al final no está en sus manos), fue mala conexión al WiFi. Por lo demás, sin duda regresaremos."

"One of the best places we have stayed."

"Beautiful property in a remote location, with amazing staff. Great restaurant and beautiful well maintained grounds with even beer stocked in the fridge."

"Mi opinión es que el hotel esta muy bonito con una vegetación impresionante y mada mas , nuestra experiencia fue horrible, , para llegar al hotel fue catastrófico, la carretera no tiene condiciones de ninguna manera para llegar hasta tan lejos, todo cierra temprano y ya no puedes comprar ni un pomo de agua, no tienes acceso a salir a ningun lugar por los alrededores porque no pasan ni los taxis, osea esta en un lugar alejado de todo , solo puedes estar en el hotel y nada mas , tienes que pagar por ver la television, no permiten llevar ninguna bebida oh refrescos a la habitacion , solo si te abren las botellas alli , bebidas que tienes que pagar, el desayuno que te dan incluido es de reir , las pequeñas lascas d una sandia, de piña y 3 lascas de papaya , la ridiculez en persona, y ojo vengo de un pais que no falta la comida , osea no voy de viaje para solo comer, eso da verguenza a diferencia d otros hoteles ahi mismo en costa rica que dan sin tanta miseria, no puedes hacer tours fuera del hotel todo es ahi ,no hay musica, no hay diversión, alli no pasa nada solo el ruido de los grillos ,solo se lo recomiendo a las personas que quieran hacer un retiro espiritual tenia muchas expectativas con este hotel pk fui a celebrar mi cumpleaños y me dejo mucho que desear , deberian arreglar esa carretera pk la travesia no tiene nombre para llegar ahi, las piscinas de aguas termales super sucias , oxidadas , necesitan una mano , en fin no aguantamos ni un dia , nos tuvimos que ir de alli"
