Santa Maria Holidays from £1,207

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.

Noah's Forest is unmatched on quality, on service, on aesthetic, and on the overall experience they provide for their guests. Truly the best place we stayed at in Costa Rica. After we left I couldn't help but compare every other hotel to their's. Their welcome drink was divine, their free coffee bar was defintiely needed on a daily basis and was also very delicious. My son and I played pool and chess each day which entertained us through the torrential rain storms in the afternoons/evenings. We did the night walk and saw the most animals we have seen in our entire 10 day trip. Their food was absolutely perfect. They had live music in the evening and it just added to the Pura Vida feeling we had the entire time we stayed there. I need to give credit to their wonderful staff, Allan, Daniela, Cristel, Fernanda, Jaisen and Sophia. We were celebrating my 40th birthday and they made it the best birthday trip for me and my family. Thank you Noah's Forest, I will always recommend you and would give you 10 stars if I could.

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.

An incredible property immersed into the rainforest. So much to do on property including club rio where you felt even more remote. We enjoyed the hot springs more down in club rio than the ones closer to the rooms, which were also great. We saw monkeys and sloths on property as well. Staff were always very accommodating and the concierge staff were also very helpful. We would definitely staff at The Springs again.

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!
