Beautifully maintained ground not a fancy place but very well priced. Genuine meals and the hosts are very nice. Added bonus: amazing cacao/chocolate

Peaceful and very beautiful place

I found the beds a bit uncomfortable. We asked for one bed for a couple and two beds were put together instead. Not ideal, but also not a huge deal.

The staff, the amazing breakfast, the greenery!

All of the meals were great... it did not hurt that the coffee served was excellent either

The location and grounds were beautiful

Everything was exceptional. Make sure you have a 4x4 vehicle to get to the property...this is standard in many parts of Costa Rica.

The hosts, Ana and Pablo, were SO kind and involved in making your stay wonderful. Absolutely need to do the chocolate tour-they make an exceptional product and teach you so much. The property is stunning....pics don't begin to show you how beautiful it truly is.

We stayed three nights and had a wonderful time. The best was the caring hospitality of the owner Pablo and Ana. We learnt a lot about the farm, chocolate and the living conditions of the people around. The staff were always helpful and very friendly. We simply felt at home!

This is a very special place. We were welcomed by two cute adorable dogs. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful. The peaceful little cabins are surrounded with tropical plants and lovely gardens giving you total privacy. There is no need to close the curtains as you are one with nature. Spending time on the balcony with the artisan rocking chairs and hammock is so calming and relaxing. Lots of nice trails to walk. The meals were special and we chatted with many people at breakfasts and dinners. We now have a couple that we hope to keep in contact with and perhaps meet up with again. The highlight of our stay was the chocolate tour with Pablo who knows all there is to know about chocolate. He travels world wide to taste chocolate. Pablo spends quality time with all of his guests as this farm is clearly his passion. You can feel the love and passion he pours into this place.

It was a very unique experience staying on a cacao farm. The environment was beautiful. Lots of birdlife all around. The hosts and staff were very welcoming and gracious. The chocolate tour by Pablo is a must. It was very informative and a lot of fun. Our bungalow was very clean, with beautiful woodwork and a spacious deck with rocking chairs and hammock.

Great food, amazing views and hiking trails in the jungle. Definitely the best chocolate in Costa Rica! Pablo and Anna are knowledgeable and wonderful hosts. The views and the chocolate tour experiences are the best parts about a stay at La Anita.

about 30 min to drive via dirt road from main road

very comfortable, friendly and most interesting. Good inexpensive dinner.

Pablo and Ana were really kind and really helpful. As I told Pablo during my stay I rarely give 10/10 however they really deserve it. The place is amazing, you are surrounded by nature and you eat traditional costarican food with fresh product grown in La Finca.

Everything, Everybody ! The cacao Tour was memorable and Pablo, a master!

Pablo was the most welcoming host we have ever come across. He works hand in hand with his very kind staff to make sure our stay is the best possible. The Anita Rainforest just takes your breath away. A must if you're travelling to Costa Rica

Amazing experience! This was one of our top places we stayed while touring Costa Rica, we loved everything about La Anita. Do not hesitate to book this location, although out of the way it was so worth it as offered the true Costa Rican experience and was a magical place. Thank you Pablo we would love to return one day.

Absolutely incredible, from first to last second. The chocolate tour was brilliant, so informative and tasty! And the wildlife was a plenty, all around, day and night! If you're thinking about visiting, definitely do.

We don't know if it's a drawback at all ... the lodge is sort of "offline land" with poor mobile signals and WiFi only in designated places, but on the other hand it is proof that one does not actually _need_ to be connected 24/7. It goes pretty well (for a while) without :)

Words can hardly describe the place. It is a cocoa plantation (which is hard to see as it is all so harmonically blended in) with the ambience of a well-maintained English park, were it not for the tropical plants. The breakfast/lunch place is a huge airy wooden place which overlooks the gardens. And yes, the rooms have no air-con, but as they are 360 degrees shielded with fly screens it is surprisingly bearable for us Europeans; and the jungle noises at 5 in the morning are overwhelming. The hosts were the most friendly people we have met in entire Costa Rica; they were giving us the feeling to be welcomed as friends rather than "objects handled for payment" as we felt so often elsewhere. Thank you very much for your hospitality, Pablo and Ana!

The property was remote and Provo ate which is lovely but be prepared to need your own car or hire transports. Also, due to the remoteness of the area be aware that there is no wifi or service which is not a big deal but made it harder for kids to keep up with some school work. There is one spot with service that was available for guests.

The staff and owners were so great. They helped organize great trips for us! The waterfall excursion was great and the trip to the dairy farm was fun for kids. I really enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Wifi was spotty and only by the main building - understand that it’s meant to be a get away and not too much of a bother if you don’t have any trip planning to do.

This is the best place we have stayed in our costa trip so far (4 weeks in). The setting is gorgeous with the trees and birds. Only the sound of nature at night. So much breeze from the netted open windows. No bugs which is a surprise for the location. Huge bed, hot water shower and hammock on the terrace. Very warm welcome.
