Beautiful immaculate property. Great helpful staff, so many hot springs and pools, with really fun monkey slide. Enjoyed onsite activities like tubing, rock climbing, horseback riding (through the river was wild). And love the free laundry we can use. Food is pretty good too. Highly recommend!

9.4/10 Exceptional! (600 reviews)
This stay was incredible. From our balcony, we watched spider monkeys, capuchins, toucans and humming birds.
The rooms were comfortable with air conditioning, and Veronika made us excellent towel animals every day! We were made to feel very special on our honeymoon.
Breakfast was exceptional, with great service from Antonio. Dinner was equally great quality, and affordable! We enjoyed cocktails by the pool throughout our stay.
We were able to get an Uber on a Monday night into La Fortuna with a very short wait, and an uber back was easy too - each ride cost around £3/$4.
I’d highly recommend Ti-Fakara lodge. It was a really special place, right next to incredible nature and wildlife, with attentive and genuine staff. We loved our stay!

Very friendly and welcoming stop close to SJO. Very characterful, the rooms are large with a great view over the valley. The extensive grounds have great walking trails - we saw an agouti - for early morning walks and a hummingbirds visible from the breakfast restaurant and the jacuzzi next to the swimming pool.
Staff are very helpful and friendly, food was good.
