Hotel El Bambu, hotel in Sarapiquí

This tropical hotel is set in the rainforest in the Huetar Norte region. Set in lush gardens, it offers an indoor and outdoor pool, a spacious sun terrace and free Wi-Fi and private parking.

This hotel was a lovely surprise. Booked because it's close (literally a few metres) from the bus station, it turned out to be a very comfortable and quiet place, surrounded by a small jungle. There's also a big restaurant, open all day and offering a good choice. The staff, both at the reception and at the restaurant, were very kind.

Ara Ambigua Lodge, hotel in Sarapiquí

Large rambling hotel with individual or joined garden rooms in beautiful gardens full of wildlife including 2 secluded swimming pools and walks. Lovely staff and good food. The almost-cinematic view of foliage and incredible variety of birds (and frogs at night) from the dining area is really special.

Tirimbina Rainforest Lodge, hotel in Sarapiquí

This lodge is set in the Tirimbina Nature Reserve and 2 km from De la Virgen Park. It features free Wi-Fi, an extensive garden and a furnished terrace.

Such a great place to bird and see such a variety of birds! (We saw 70 different species) The bridge and views from the bridge are also brilliant and a great place to spot toucans from. We walked all the Rainforest trails and loved them all. Staff super friendly throughout. Totally recommend a guided birdwatching tour too and a special shout out to William, who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. Rooms were also excellent and had a nice terrace where we saw toucans, mot mots and squirrels. One of our Costa Rica accommodation highlights!

Gran Gavilán del Sarapiquí Lodge, hotel in Sarapiquí

With La Selva Biological Station reachable in 2.6 km, Gran Gavilán del Sarapiquí Lodge offers accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace.

We loved everything about this place. ALL of the staff were so kind and friendly from the cook whose food was delicious, to Maita on front desk who lent us flash lights to find owls and made us great fresh juices, to the gardeners who found sloths for us to look at! The free breakfast was good, I saw someone criticising it in the reviews but for free we had fresh fruit, rice and beans, egg, toast, jam and butter/cream cheese with a coffee. You could pay for more but that was more than enough. The lodge itself was excellent. The rooms were nice and colourful and comfortable, including chairs outside - perfect for birdwatching from. The grounds were so well kept and included plenty of walking trails and a private beach right out to the river where you can see different birds and monkeys. We also did a boat tour that Maita booked for us with oasis and it was very good for herons, kingfishers, wood rails (and we saw a crocodile and caiman too). There's also a pool which was the perfect temperature and good for watching birds from. We saw a lot of birds we hadn't seen at la selva and it was very easy to see them around the gardens. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again. Beautiful place.

Eco Guest House- Sarapiquí 2, hotel in Sarapiquí

Casa Ecológica - Sarapiqui is a holiday home featuring a garden with a terrace, located in La Virgen. The property features views of the mountains and is 49 km from San José.

Really enjoyed this house - breakfast served by Wendy’s mama was delicious and an highlight of the trip!! The house is accessible by car but then isolated and so peaceful. You can hear all nature around and observe birds anytime. Nice furniture (bed, kitchen, balconies…). I highly recommend!

Heliconia Island, hotel in Sarapiquí

This island on the Puerto Viejo River offers charming rooms with balconies, overlooking the tropical rainforest of Sarapiqui.

A truly wonderful place to stay. You park your car and then walk over a small metal bridge to enter a garden island, completely surrounded by water, which is so beautiful, full of trees, flowers, and wildlife. Excellent range of birds in the garden, which the owner feeds each morning so you can eat breakfast watching them. Very friendly host who cooked us a lovely meal in the evening. The room was large and so well thought out and decorated. The bedroom was surrounded by windows, enabling you to observe the birds whilst sitting in bed. Howler monkeys and toucans in the garden were the highlights

    Sarapiqui is a busy town, the commercial hub for the local area. We really enjoyed an excellent river trip, the guide was knowledgable and entertaining. We stayed at nearby Selva Verde using our own Hire Car to get around, driving is easy enough although this is a major highway

    A stunning adventure with lots of memories. Woke up to howler monkeys chatting in the treetops above my cabin. Great hikes, beautiful views. Guides are super knowledgeable and enthusiastic to be there. Something that's extra great? The employees--the guides, the cooks, etc.--all seem genuinely happy. It's clear that they're well taken care of and appreciated!

    While there are many Adventure tours available, we opted for the birding activities. We took one guided tour at Tirimbina and one at La Selva. Both provided unique species and I highly recommend taking the extra time to also go to La Selva. Air Conditioning is highly recommended to help you stay comfortable after a day in the heat and humidity, which the region is known for.

    We visited Sarapiquí in 2010 and we wanted to return. What we have found (in a period of 10 years), has been a significant increase of tourism and the expansion of the urban areas in the town. Now, there are more people living in Sarapiquí.

    People were very friendly .

    People were very friendly . Not much English speaking but we got by. We got out into the country with locals and really had a good time. A jungle tour is a must as it is still a lot of raw areas left. Great bird watching. It is not as hot as the beach areas and roads and driving is quite nerve wracking at times.

    Amazing and immersive rainforest experience. The forest itself is the true star of the show. The diversity of wildlife is outstanding. It was so special to have the researchers for the guides (you get a free morning tour if you stay there and we paid for a night tour). We saw and learned so much. we stayed for two nights with full board and loved every moment. Its not a hotel and we really enjoyed that it was something different. We embraced it as a place for learning and enjoyed that everyone was there for the same reason.

    Everything was literally outside your front door. We did not have to go on the trails to find any of the animals. They were in the trees surrounding the property. The restaurant was reasonably priced (actually cheap for a hotel) and had something for everyone. The guides were nice and knowledgeable. the hotel staff friendly and helpful. The roofs are made of a material so you really hear the rain which I liked. In the morning you can open your curtains and look outside and you feel like you are in the rainforest because you are.

    The location is central in Sarapiqui but the property goes deep into forest, so rather than just traffic, there are birds and howler monkeys to hear. There is lots of room in the suite and a comfortable balcony looking into the forest. Water is hot and AC as well as a fan. Fan is sufficient for sleeping. The attached restaurant is handy and closes at 9 or 10 p.m. Included breakfast was good. Available before 7 a.m., but larger buffet from 7-9 a.m.. Pool area had both sun and shade areas as well as a change room.

    This place was so beautiful! When we arrived they had fruit "cocktail" drinks for us that were delicious! (and free!)... The staff made us feel like celebrities. The place is gorgeous with Bambu walkways above the ground. You almost feel like you're in a tree house. The staff was super prompt and helpful. The free breakfast was freshly prepared and also delicious. We wished we had booked more nights here! This was only 20 minutes from the sarapiqui Outdoor Center where we had an amazing time rafting!

    A nice lodge with very spacious but scarcely furnished rooms. The walking trails are nice and give you a first glimpse into a tropical forest. The food in the restaurant was good. We chose the hotel for its proximity to La Selva Research Station. The location is pleasant and quiet. We would stay here again.
