This is an amazing property with cute cabins and all the facilities. The pool was nicely kept. The fruit provided from the crop was extra special. All the staff was helpful. Great area but need a vehicle or taxi for access to Sámara. Such a peaceful place to stay. It was nice to hear that this was also funding support for the tree regrowth.

Offering a garden and lake view, La Ceiba Tree Lodge is situated in Tilarán, 41 km from La Fortuna Waterfall and 17 km from Venado Caves. It is located 24 km from Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park and provides room service. The bed and breakfast also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. First, to speak plain: the land is Eden itself. Gardens spill their green abundance, the view flows wide as a hymn, and the hush of nature wraps the traveller as a cloak. The host, Sergio, is a man of rare courtesy and deep knowing; his tales of Costa Rica carried us far beyond our chairs, so that we travelled the breadth of the country without once leaving his porch. Each dawn brought breakfast: eggs fresh and forthright, toast crisp, cheese modest yet true, coffee and tea brewed with sincerity. Our chamber, though compact, held all we needed; the shower head rained down with a vigour that quickened the spirit, and though the hot water sang its song for only two minutes, it was a vivid two minutes, sharp and bracing, like a baptism of the tropics. The architecture itself delights in its simplicity, a row of cabins bound together as though carriages upon a railway, joined by a balcony that becomes, in essence, a grand salon. We had this gallery entirely to ourselves—four neighbouring rooms stood empty, so the balcony belonged wholly to us, our private stage set against the mountain air. A sentinel camera watches over this shared space, lending a sense of safety to those who wander it by moonlight. The room within, small but sufficient, asks one to live lightly, to dwell not in clutter but in the essentials: a hanger of four arms sufficed for our coats; the mattress bore us well, firm with its springs, while our own pillows, brought from home, made the bed familiar. The bathroom, too, spoke of intention: a modest bin reminded us to waste little, to tread with care. The presence of life is everywhere. Ants marshal and patrol, reminding us that the house stands in communion with the forest. Mosquitoes are thwarted by nets thoughtfully placed, so slumber remains unbroken. Even the house cat, peculiar of visage with a head grander than its body, insists upon friendship, pressing close, purring, licking with unabashed honesty—a beast as singular as the place itself.

Situated in Carrillo and only 200 metres from Carrillo Beach, La Puesta del Sol B&B features accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This bed and breakfast offers a private beach area, a garden, as well as a bar. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. A lovely place to stay in San Jose! Very close to the beach. both the room and the bathroom were clean and comfortable, and it had air conditioning. The breakfast is delicious, the best we had during our 2-weeks travel around Costa Rica! We haven’t dined in the restaurant there but the bar in the garden is great! Especially that there is not really where to go around town after dark (which is a big advantage as Puerto Carrillo is calm and peaceful) :) And last but not least, very kind and helpful staff!
