Reviews of Canta La Rana

Patrick and Juan Carlos are fabulous hosts. They are so accommodating and thought of every little detail to make our stay absolutely flawless. Everything was pristine. The amenities were impeccable. The architecture is beautifully designed.The breakfasts they made were so delicious and presented beautifully. The location is phenomenal with a fantastic view. These guys are a class act!!! On a scale from 1-10, we give it a 20!

Nothing with the accommodations. Road to get there is a bit rough. 4WD is recommended.

This place is absolutely stunning. Architect built, no detail left out. Absolutely beautiful from the driveway to the edge of the infinity pool.

That we had to leave. 😂

We loved Canta la Rana!!! Everything was lovely- the view, the location, the hosts, the design of the space… it was a perfect remove from our daily lives and a beautiful place to disconnect. The Queen suite is stunning- super relaxing and tranquil. It was such a nice place to come home to after exploring the area, the pool and balconies both have gorgeous views and you really feel like you’re in the treetops. Patrick and Juan Carlos were amazing hosts, they gave great recommendations for restaurants and local activities. Each breakfast they prepared was thoughtful and delicious, it was one of our favorite parts of the visit.

We loved eveyrthing!! The only thing to note is the road that every other review mentions :) it is not too bad once you do it a couple of times though

This is one of the best places we have stayed not only in Costa Rica but around the world. The room was incredible, the view amazing and the service was impeccable. The breakfast that the team put together each morning was amazing -- lots of homemade items like the bread, jams and juices. This was truly a magical stay for us. We'll be back.

Truly there was nothing we didn't like. It was a 10-level experience for us.

Everything! - the location: remote enough that you feel like you’re alone but also close to very good restaurants for dinner (San Miguel, honestly the best restaurant we’ve been during all our trip in Costa Rica), lunch options by the sea and convenient stores - the villa: Canta la Rana is a little paradise, even better in real life than on the pictures! The villa is so beautiful, decorated with tastes and well furnished with a bar, little kitchen, boards games (loved it!) and an outdoor shower that is just perfect. - the view: the pictures already say it all, it’s breathtaking :) - the pool: goes with the villa, it’s juste like a little paradise - the breakfast: we’d read about it but it is true, our hosts were wonderful cooks and we had the best breakfast every morning! So good - the hosts: the place would not be like that without Patrick and Juan Carlos, who’ve created this little paradise. A little plus for French people as one of the host is ;)

- nothing, it was really perfect, all what we need

The most beautiful villas. Incredible breakfast and hospitality.

Canta la rana is one of the best places I have ever experienced. The property is amazingly beautiful with great attention to detail. Juan Carlos and Patrick were the best hosts -ever! The carefully planned and deliciously executed breakfasts made every morning even more wonderful. I have not stopped talking about this unique and fabulous property.

Everything was perfect! Our stay was simply amazing and we loved everything about it. From the excellent, convenient location, the luxuriousness and comfort of the suite, to the extremely helpful and hospitable staff. The beds were very comfortable and allowed us perfect rest, and the breakfast was fantastic with a different menu every day. The hotel offered a breathtaking views that left us in awe every morning & night. Whether it was watching the sunrise from my room or enjoying a sunset on the terrace, the vistas were nothing short of spectacular. Canta la Rana is a true gem which offers an incredible experience and Juan and Patrick are the perfect hosts

Oh my gosh, this place is a magical paradise! Just go. You'll be transported to a supremely relaxing and decadent beach jungle. We stayed in the room with its own infinity pool - WORTH IT! Breakfasts are divine, the views are off the charts, all the finishings are gorgeous and thoughtful. We kept noticing cool touches and said nothing is overlooked or unplanned at Canta La Rana. They've seriously thought of everything ! You'll marvel at the location and wonder how in the world did they build such an amazing retreat on this high ridge. But it's perfect! And very, very close to the beach (although you'll want to drive, and have a 4x4 - no joke)!

Absolutely nothing! I wanted to live there.

Divine

Loved it all

Patrick and Juan Carlos were great hosts, they‘ve built a wonderful peaceful and private place. The views are outstanding, breakfast homemade with lots of love served by both owners every morning. Patrick designed something very special. Both were very caring! We loved everything about it!

We had to leave…

This gorgeous and small boutique hotel is a true gem. The owners have created a stunning oasis with such care and vision. We were blown away! We felt so welcomed, and deeply restored by our stay.

The setting of the property was breathtaking...perched on the top of a high hill overlooking the ocean with a perfectly unobstructed view. Every detail designed by architect and host tied together beautifully...no detail is overlooked and nothing was left to chance from the building locations, materials used, down to the furniture was all designed by Patrick to tie together perfectly. The infinity pool facing directly at the Pacific is unbeatable. And with only 3 units on the property you feel like you have this whole expansive and luxurious space to yourself. Breakfasts were very impressive and creative as well. Patrick and Juan Carlos were the most gracious hosts you could possibly ask for. Can't speak more highly about this place and it's owners.

It's not that we didn't like the location but guests should know that the property is off the beaten path and accessible via some rough and unpaved roads. So be sure to rent a four wheel drive and just prepare to take more time on these back roads than you would on highway driving. The benefit of being more out of the way than more touristy hotels is the privacy and unspoiled beauty that has been lost to over-touristed destinations. When was the last time you could stand on a 100 yard wide beach and look 2 miles up and down that beach without seeing another person?

Everything! Beautifully designed and presented, lovely dipping pool, fantastic view and sunset, wildlife, breakfast and friendly owners

Nothing

I adore this place, the design of the House, the communion with nature, falling aspleep and waking up with the wave of the pacific ocean, watching the sunset… This is an experience i will remember for a long Time, this is the perfect echo of Pura vida, the hymn of Costa Rica. The personel is so thoughtful, every detail was perfect … the information given are on point, for beaches, restaurant. The breakfast was amazing with homemade jam, juice, freshly baked bread, and each day différent, we were waiting for it with impatience. And even a thank you note and they washed our car before leaving without us asking for it …. Thank you for the stay and Hope to be back soon. For info : a 4x4 is needed to go to the House.

Nothing

Canta la Rana is truly spectacular and a piece of heaven on earth. The owners are the most welcoming and the kindest we have ever met. Pura Vida! Their hospitality and kindness will never be forgotten. The view is spectacular, the food is five star (with amazing presentation and flavors) and the rooms are super clean. The suit is also spacious, private, and serene! You can surely spend a week and love every minute. We will never forget our time at Canta la Rana and the owners which made us think of coming back once again with more family and Friends. Thank you for the unforgettable time and we hope to see you again soon! 🙏❤️

!Amazing Hotel on wordwide top level! The architecture is done very well with the overall idea creating a relaxing and calm space while keeping it luxurious and classy.
