The hotel offers several tours; we chose the wetlands by horseback tour. It exceeded all expectations. We just wish we had more time there! ##### Billie Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick Nicholas 18 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Do not be discouraged by the road to Rancho Humo, what lies at the end turned out to be a real gem. This property is nestled up against the central wetlands of Nicoya peninsula on the shore of the Tempisque river and is a definitive location for birdwatchers from all over. My wife and I are not birdwatchers but booked this based on its remote location and its high marks from other reviews. We also booked in offseason so fortunately for us we were the only guests and the staff was so great to make us feel welcome and taken care of all week. Be sure to let Kenneth make you feel welcome and attend to whatever your needs are and listen to his vast knowledge about the property and it’s animal inhabitants while on the safari tour. Also, Chef Kenya is an absolute magician in the kitchen so don’t miss her daily culinary offerings. Will absolutely return one day, maybe not during the rainy season though… 😁 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2a672983-276a-49e1-b41b-582156889a4b-1760811037222.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Patrick Nicholas Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline 17 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service What a beautiful place and surroundings!

I was born in Maryland but I never saw a Baltimore oriole before I was here! The staff were very welcoming, Ticos are lovely people. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0BC9EEC1DE5559855D043ACF83F31784FA75E2911741366344456.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CC3FCDDFD580E3FAE272094DBE7099FC474BB5B51741366366467.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7F162F48B2B66810EC16F97B1639E34A2DDB2C071741366383950.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Janice Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 4 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is off the beaten path, but we saw many unusual birds and we were treated like royalty.

Good food. Nice pool area. Pool could use a little more cleaning of leaves, etc. but that didn’t stop us from enjoying it. Nice big rooms with high ceilings. A/C had to work hard to keep it cool. Fantastic river tour with our guide and constant companion, Santos. Would definately recommend! ##### Jerrold Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Boutique eco hotel with fantastic birding This was a wonderful stay in a remarkable place. The room was very comfortable with a balcony with a fantastic view. The food was excellent and the staff were really kind. The highlight was the "safari" with Kenneth, around the property to see birds. One of the best birding experiences we've had. Palo Verde was closed, but this allowed us to see huge flocks of birds in the wetlands right next to Palo Verde. We then walked around several times, as well. The road there is challenging, and it's remote - you have to eat at the hotel, because there's nowhere else. But it was the highlight of our trip. Secluded, beautiful, comfortable, and great wildlife. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### calgary canada 20 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very secluded for time away from the hustle. Great staff. Is a 1100 acre ranch with free tours of birds and crocodiles. Riding tour to town and around ranch. If you are looking for a beach and noise then head elsewhere. This is pure ranch land and seclusion. Great for complete relaxation! Best to know some Spanish as they speak very little english but you will get by ##### calgary canada ### 8/10 Good #### Deborah 29 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Service is amazing We spent two nights here and at first I was disappointed because I thought we would have easy access to Palo Verde National Park. This is not the case but Kenneth quickly eased my mind and set us up with a boat tour and bird watching. He was amazing and made our stay memorable. I am so happy we stayed here and it’s all because of the service we received. Highly recommend if you want to spend time in a small village ( less than 200 people) and receive unparalleled attention. The food was fantastic. ##### Deborah Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 2 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very hospitable. Off the beaten track I wasn't totally sold on this place when I first showed up. The building was very nice, but the weather was super hot, the area was very dry and dusty, and the mosquitos were so intense I wasn't sure how we'd be able to do anything outside for the 2 days we'd be there. This was on a trip in March where we had no issues with mosquitos anywhere else we visited. But the longer we stayed, the more it grew on me and my family. The host, Kenneth, was very kind and helped us explore the area. On our first afternoon there, we saw a whole bunch of different birds within a couple hundred yards of the hotel door, including the most amazing little screech owls. The food in the restaurant was very good, but it was the only place available. We managed to get by for lunch just on food we had with us (there was a small refrigerator in the room) and then enjoyed dinner at the restaurant. The road into Rancho Humo was unpaved, but it was flat and easy to drive on, especially compared with other roads we drove in Costa Rica. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 5 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Great place for high-endish hotel. Overall it was a good experience. Few things I wished I had known before I booked the place. Because it’s such a remote place there’s no other restaurants around that you’re stuck eating at the hotel. It’s gourmet food, very good but pricey, $30 per person do dinner, 25 for lunch. I should have asked ahead of time, so didn’t expect it to be that high. We had a beautiful room with balcony and wonderful view, watched birds passing by, starry nights so the room was worth the price. However, we didn’t have hot water the whole time,I really needed a hot shower one of the nights (we stayed 3nighs) after a long tiring day but shivered under a cool water. They never got around to fixing it. Also, no tv in the room which is strange, tv was one of the amenities. It’s a good location for going into the Palo Verde, hiring a boat to go across the river, totally worth the long hike, saw hundreds of birds in the lagoon area and other animals roaming the forest. Take lot of water. We would have hired a guide but didn’t work out. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie-Claude 2 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tout était parfait: la chambre, la piscine rafraîchissante, la nourriture, le site, le personnel. La tranquillité des lieux. Je recommande cette auberge à 100%. Un endroit loin de l’agitation touristique avec la possibilité d’observer les oiseaux et les crocodiles. Kennet est un hôte exceptionnel. Serviable et dévoué.Vraiment, ça vaut le détour! ##### Marie-Claude Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Roger 13 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Me.gusto mucho la tranquilidad ##### Roger Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Enid 26 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff delightful.

The Manager greeted us at dinner and went out of his way to find us a boat tour on the nearby river the morning we left. The room was spectacular with a huge window which looked out onto a large wooden deck and an uninterrupted view of the expansive wetlands and low mountains in the distance. At night it was dead quiet while the sky was ablaze with stars. There's also an iguana who lives next to the parking lot. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 16 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very unique property.
