Malekus Mountain Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Best Stay of Our Costa Rica Trip — Malekus Mountain Lodge This was, hands down, the best place we stayed during our 10 days in Costa Rica. Not only is the property itself beautiful, but we had the pleasure of being the only guests, so Roger and Rosy treated us like family. They helped us shape our itinerary to have a more authentic, local experience, and honestly ended up defining our whole trip. The rooms were comfortable — we had the one with a double bed plus a separate room with a bunk bed, and the windows looked right out onto the garden. There's a big pool, an open-air breakfast area, and a living room where we got to catch the FIFA soccer games in the evenings. The property itself is huge. Right in the "backyard," Roger and Rosy suggested a hike that starts at a beautifully arranged fish pond — the kind of spot where you could easily spend an afternoon reading or doing yoga. Keep going and the trail leads to two miradores, one overlooking the mountains and the other a lake. If you're up for something more adventurous, loop back through the mountain trail — it genuinely feels like something out of a survival TV show, walking through tropical plants, animal sounds all around, crossing water on wooden plank paths. It was the most authentic hike of our entire trip. Thank you, Roger and Rosy, for such a special experience at Malekus Mountain Lodge — we can't recommend it enough."
Posada Río Celeste La Amistad
8/10 Good
"We only stayed one night. We chose Posado Río Celeste La Amistad to swim in the blue Rio Celeste River on their property. This was the perfect place to get a $ 5 USD-a-piece ticket within walking distance of the hotel. It's family-owned, and they take such pride in their establishment. We were upgraded to the Superior Cabin, which is very spacious and quiet. The abuela (grandma) took us on a night walk to see many frogs in the garden. There were several dogs and cats, and a talking parrot, on the property, in addition to hummingbirds and other beautiful birds. Breakfast is included and delicious. No air, but plenty of fans. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a rustic, eco-friendly stay. Make sure you speak Spanish or have a phone translator, as the family speaks Spanish."

Vida Aventura Ranch
10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay! Jorge made sure we had a pleasant stay and the staff was really nice. The unit we had was basic but clean, of a good size and well equipped. The breakfast was excellent (you can choose from 3 options) and we also had dinner there twice (there is nothing around), which was also good and well priced. We enjoyed the walking trails. It was a very relaxing stay. Note that the road to get to the ranch is bad so you need a 4x4. Even though it was remote, it was a great base to visit Rincon de la Vieja. We are very happy with our stay overall."
