Piedades Sur Holidays from £1,212

Tifakara was an absolute dream. We wanted a boutique hotel that was integrated into the jungle and that's exactly what we got! The property is gorgeous, with winding paved paths through the jungle to get to each room. We visited the onsite frog sanctuary each night to hear the 100s of frogs (and try to spot just a few!). The included breakfast was top-notch, with fresh coconuts for coconut water, a gourmet coffee machine, a la carte options like eggs benedict, avocado toast, etc, and the best part was getting to enjoy it in the gorgeous pool area while listening to the many birds. The staff were very attentive and communicated often by WhatsApp to check in about our stay and make sure they were meeting our needs. The rooms are small but very tidy, clean, and well-kept, and the outdoor shower deserves special mention: showering under the trees with the sounds of the jungle all around was meditative and memorable. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful property surrounded by well-maintained vegetation.

The property was beautiful and very maintained. The rooms were spacious, clean and extremely comfortable. Air conditioning was great. The heated plunge pool was amazing. The staff are all helpful and polite. The food and drinks were all delicious and big portions. My favourite part was being in the middle of nature and being able to see some of the incredible wildlife that Costa Rica has. This place is a wonderful place to relax. We definitely didn't want to leave because we loved it so much.

This hotel and property were fabulous! The grounds were absolutely stunning and the staff were fantastic! When we first checked in Esteban showed us around and explained everything about the property. We are a family of 4 with kids ages 11 and 5. We told Esteban we were hoping to see animals and he offered to take us around and look for animals the next morning. He met us the next morning and we saw a number of sloths, frogs, iguanas, and even pigs living wild on the property! Esteban and the rest of the staff go above and beyond! We all enjoyed Club Rio and again then staff was amazing! The hot springs are absolutely beautiful and relaxing. The views of the volcano are breathtaking. There is something for everyone here. We absolutely loved our stay!

Staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Facilities blended with nature so you felt fully immersed into the rain forest! Experience was truly one of a kind!
