Guácimo Holidays from £1,333

This is a barely discovered gem, a rare destination that will leave you with lifelong memories. We stayed here 9 years ago, and returned this summer. The rainforest location is unique. We stayed in a treehouse, with frequent visits from spider monkeys and seemingly endless species of birds. We partook for a second time the riverboat tour through the local rainforest, up through the Nicaragua border. We saw spectacular macaws, toucans, and numerous other bird species. We encountered crocodiles, circling vultures over cow pastures, a green river snake swimming at the town boat dock. We saw other monkey species hanging out in the trees, iguanas… But perhaps most memorable to us was the genuineness of the Eco Lodge staff. Many are local, and share with us their pride in their community. Their true warmth allows us to experience the rainforest, not as a visiting tourist, but as a proud local. The guides are wonderful! They are smart, engaging and passionate. Even on our return boat ride across the river to the parking area, the staff member took a slight detour to point out colorful macaws eating fruit in a tree on the riverbank. We came with our family, there were tourists of all ages, from young children to older retirees. Our binoculars and telephoto lenses got quite the workout! While we are not professional birdwatchers, the diversity was remarkable. And, we found fellow tourists to be grounded, appreciative of life and the opportunity. Thank you staff!!!

Just returned from our stay. 10/15-10-19. One word to describe our overall experience. Magnificent! From the moment we arrived until the moment that we left. The staff, food, room, amenities, cleanliness, the grounds, and the breakfast lived up to the expectations I had from previously reading reviews. Not sure where the bad reviews are coming from, but I do acknowledge that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The Royal Corin is an amazing place and we truly enjoyed our stay. If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay and relax, with a delicious breakfast every morning, this is your place. The entire town of La Fortuna is beyond pleasant. The people are beautiful and they treat you with such grace, and the same is to be said about this beautiful hotel. Not sure when we will be returning, but I know we definitely will. The view from the hotel room is breathtaking. The breakfast is fresh. The hotel is clean and well-maintained. The pools and hot tubs are great. I could write an entire essay about why you should stay here. I will keep it short and say this. The Royal Corin is a magnificent place and if you have the opportunity to stay here, you should definitely do so.

The best medicine in the world to relax your mind if you are a businessman or either you just wanna run away from the children with your wife it’s the only place in the world that’s on vacation and I didn’t need to use my phone. I didn’t care about the phone..
