All our wishes were immediately fulfilled by Giovanni and his staff, whether it was about eating or laundry. The apartment had everything it needed, everything was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The location is quiet, the garden beautiful and supermarkets are nearby. Me and my daughters would come back any time. ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sean 6 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hosts were super nice and helpful, the area was beautiful and very clean. They have the cutest dog who is super friendly well trained and loves to play. The pool was very clean. House was nice, but the bathroom door in the house we stayed at was very hard to close. There was also a hole where a lizard crawled through. Didn’t both us much though because besides that the place and hosts were lovely and we had a great stay! ##### Sean Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### rachel 21 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Peaceful retreat in La Tigra. Giovanni and Luis are the nicest people you are likely to meet. Even when we had a middle of the night emergency, they handled it with such grace and care. Their lodge is clean, quiet and the restaurant serves fresh delicious local food. Each morning staff would take the time to show us where the local sloth was hanging out in the property trees. La Tigra is small and quiet, and a bit of a drive from La Fortuna, but the roads are good and we felt it worth it to stay in such a peaceful area. There are also several local sights very close by that are also worth visiting. We had a well appointed suite with twin beds for the children, double for us and a kitchen/lounge area. Very comfortable stay. We'd love to visit again. ##### rachel Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ines 10 Apr 2025 ##### Ines Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ines 10 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Such a quiet place where you can really enjoy nature.

Great food; we ate breakfast and dinner there. So nice to hear the river and the wildlife at night, just outside the hotel. A little far removed from the main town of La Fortuna (took about half an hour to get there) but that suited us fine. ##### Kerry Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha 11 Jun 2023 ##### Samantha Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Martins 14 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Un petit détour en allant vers la Fortuna… Un endroit paisible et reposant avec un accueil très attentionné et chaleureux de la part de Giovanni et Luiz. ##### Martins Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juan Manuel 27 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort a mi familia y a mi nos gusto mucho el hotel en todos los aspectos, el señor Giovanny es un gran anfitrión. ##### Juan Manuel Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael 25 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Just be aware it is not air conditioned, which is not needed but some Americans might feel they need that. It was comfortable, people were so kind and the place was super clean. it is in the rain forest area, the beauty is beyond belief. Great food was served. Overall I would give a high score but with how most rate it would be a 3 because of everything they want. If you want to get away, and relax and not deal, well come here, lay back and let go. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary 7 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I'm not one to overpraise and, frankly, I'm wary of overly-positive reviews. But SR Ecolodge exceeded all expectations. Splendid location, superb family-type service, away from the crowd. Couldn't be happier. Thank you Giovani and Louis! ##### Gary Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yaritza 21 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excelente lugar para pasar en familia un servicio muy limpio y amables recomendado . ##### Yaritza Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MANUEL 15 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Un lindo lugar y muchos sitios que visitar cerca del hotel ##### MANUEL Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities What a delightful experience and stay at Villas San Rafael. The love of being a host exudes from Giovanni. Both he and Luis are so hospitable and are on site 24/7 to make sure you have the most pleasant experience possible. Giovanni loves cooking and his meals are prepared with joy. No need to worry about eating, they can do it all here. Our family loved staying there and enjoying the pool, nature & warm showers....yes, they have hot showers! This place is perfect for families and groups, and designed so well that you can stay outdoors & still enjoy nature while it’s raining. Villas San Rafael is also close enough to enjoy all the activities around Arenal. Luis can book excursions for you. My nine year-old gives them 5 Stars! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 13 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Crickets and cicadas and frogs!
