Reviews of Eco Guest House- Sarapiquí 2

We loved our stay at this lodge in the forest. We booked only 1 night but could have definitely stayed longer. We felt at home, the host was very friendly, the facilities were clean and great. We loved falling asleep and waking up with the sounds of the forest/animals/rain. We truly had a blast :-)

I believe you need to have your own vehicle to reach the property and get around.

The location was fantastic, remote but still close to town. The garden is really impressive. The house was very nice, plenty of space and 2 terraces with magnificent views. The host Wendy is really helpful. She is so kind. We also had dinner and breakfast prepared by her mother. Let me say that this was one of the best experiences we had. The food was so fresh, delicious and there was plenty. Thanks to Wendy we also found the waterfall located at their neighbor Carlos. Carlos showed us his trees full of monkey. The waterfall was really magnificent! A hidden gem! The same goes for this location and guesthouses!

The experience was above expectation, so nothing to change.

This is a big house in the forest, very clean. We saw soo many birds here (macaw, toucan...) There is a beautiful waterfall near this place (25min walk:. And Wendy was very helpful.

Amazing wooden eco house set in lovely surroundings. Slept really well in the large bedroom. Woke up to the sound of howler monkeys. There is a choice of four verandas to sit on to watch the wildlife and be amongst nature. The Eco house is well equipped with kichen and dining area to sit in. We decided to opt for dinner and breakfast. Both prepared by the owner's mother and they were amazing. So delicious and you don't go hungry. This was a return visit for us and we are so glad we came back. Good location for our last night in Costa Rica as just 70km from San Jose airport.

This rustic place was part of just 2 cabins and had great birding and cute dogs on the property that escorted us to the nearby waterfall (be careful on the rundown stairs going to the falls). It didn’t bother us to have no air conditioning, the fan made it comfortable at night. Our hosts were very nice! It was a family operation with several homes there.

The shower didn’t have hot water until we were shown the breaker that had tripped, also in the bathroom. Some people might not like the gekkos or other occasional critters inside (it really wasn’t that bad). I would have liked more seating in the living room and better lighting for reading. Likewise a side table by the bed in the loft for the lamp and my water would have been nice.

Very friendly Hosts, booked us a tour and made nice breakfast

Wendy’s place is incredible, a beautiful house, private and surrounded by nature. The nights were with perfect temperature and you sleep with the sound of nature, something we needed to get accustomed with. But we had the best sleep for 4 nights! We booked the full experience with breakfast and dinners brought dearly by Wendy’s mom, who was a bit like our mom too. If you speak a bit of spanish, this will stay as your favorite memory of the house, like for us. The waterfall of the neighbour’s property is also superb and had it just for us, is bigger than it looks on photos! We also saw some toucans from the balcony and hummingbirds. A little paradise we recommend to everyone.

Very comfortable rustic eco guesthouse with great birdwatching straight from the balcony.

The location was superb. Nice (several) balconies where you can watch beautiful birds. Lot of space in the house. Wendy is a very friendly host who can give you recommendations for the area. Het mom makes wonderful breakfast and diner 😃 You can book a massage at her sister’s!

Middle of the rainforest sits their cute little wood cabin. There is not glass only mesh windows which is nice but a bit loud in the night with animals and rain. The washroom is clean with warm water shower that requires a bit of tinkering to get. Wendy and her family was so nice to us even though we only stayed a day. The location is near the Tirimbina reserve so we stayed here for the night walk. Cute dog too! Hummingbirds were right outside the cabin feasting on flowers.

A little out of the way of La Virgen, but beautiful property. Can be a bit loud at night with the pouring rain.

Birds, birds and more birds! Not to mention a lovely volunteer guide dog for the easy waterfall trail, and a 3-toed sloth spotted along that trail. And the wakeup call from howler monkeys. Great spot to reconnect with nature in very comfortable cabin-style house. Mama's brekky was superb too (extra charge). Note there is a small fee for the trail use.

The Google map location is about 100 yards off, which threw us off arriving in the dark when signage was not visible - best to get details from owner.

Beautiful, peaceful lodge. The sounds of the rainforest to sleep and wake up to. Wendy and family are fantastic hosts. Food, massages and all tours were exceptional 👌

We had a fantastic stay (including 2 kids of 5 and 8y old) with Wendy and her family. Very friendly family. The mother of Wendy cooked a fantastic diner and breakfast. We did the horse riding and frog tour. Both were amazing! Would defenitly come back here.

Lovely venue. Wendy is a wonderful host with lots of useful information but who values your privacy. A great peaceful location with wonderful wildlife.

Location in nature and host, Wendy, was a lovely informative lady. I recommend the bird watching tour and the White water rafting with Green Rivers was excellent. You must also do the 20 min walk to Poza Azul waterfall (the dogs will guide you there!) which is stunning.

Internet is very limited but that is actually a good thing as you get to enjoy nature more.

Really enjoyed this house - breakfast served by Wendy’s mama was delicious and an highlight of the trip!! The house is accessible by car but then isolated and so peaceful. You can hear all nature around and observe birds anytime. Nice furniture (bed, kitchen, balconies…). I highly recommend!

This place is different. It is very special. It is off the beaten track and very simple. But it is beautiful and filled with love. The house is quite big and built all out of wood. Many of the windows don’t have glass but have very useful mosquito screening. This means you are much closer to nature and especially its sounds. There are fantastic birds in the area. You can hear the howler monkeys but we didn’t see them. There are three big terraces to watch the forest from and to just sit on these is a healing experience in itself One of the dogs will take you a beautiful waterfall in a very ancient site. It’s true, you are led by the dog! Wendy and her Mum look after you. The Mum brings your meals to your house and they are served with such tenderness and devotion. You are made to feel very special. Wendy is very knowledgeable about the local eco system and takes great care of it. If you like smart hotels that are all the same, this is not the place for you. But if you want to be cared for, immerse yourself gently in nature and lower your heart rate and blood pressure, and perhaps hear some niggling internal questions about what matters most to you in life, then this is the place for you!

It is worth knowing that it is not easy to reach by public transport! We did in on a bus from San Jose and then there is a local bus. Some will find that a challenge. To explore the local area, you might find it best coming here by car.

Beautiful location in the forest. House had 2 balconies and 2 porches providing excellent birdwatching. Wendy is a very knowledgeable guide and provided excellent birding and night hikes.

Private guest house- all to yourself. Came with a very cute dog, Dolly - she took us hiking with to nearby waterfalls.

My husband and I loved the privacy of staying in a rustic house on a private property. We were able to order home-cooked meals that were delivered and served to us without having to leave the premises. Birds everywhere and a beautiful hike down to an awesome waterfall topped off the experience (see pics). Thank you, Wendy and family!

Lovely location surrounded by nature, we woke up with the sound of howler monkeys and saw a big group of them from the balcony of the house. Lots of beautiful birds incl two different types of toucans. Did the frog tour with Wendy and saw frogs and snakes. A short walk from the house there is a waterfall with a nice swimming spot in the middle of the forest. If you love nature this is the place to be. The house is very spacious and has a good shower. 10 minute drive from shops, restaurants and other activities.

Kitchen is very basic, only fit to prepare a simple meal.
