    There’s always something - the difficulty in getting extra matches, the promised coffee tour that is no longer being done - we had a coffee tasting instead.

    The villa, facilities, staff and activities were excellent. We loved yoga every morning. There’s a wonderful spa. We rode horses, went zip-lining and visited the waterfalls. The food was very fresh and, for the most part, delicious. If you wanted something else, they’d make it - my son and husband got made to order omelettes and I got a Vegan sandwich that was delicious. The staff really wanted to make guests happy. I enjoyed making fires in our working fireplace - it got chilly at night. They bring treats to your room every night, along with extra towels. The bed was really comfortable.

    There was a WhatsApp concierge service available, but responses were sometimes delayed or missed entirely. Still, this was just a minor inconvenience, as every face-to-face interaction was warm, helpful, and efficient. If there’s one small improvement to suggest, it would be curating the restaurant music a bit more thoughtfully to better match the ambiance of the space.

    From the breathtaking location to the beautifully designed rooms and the warm attention of the staff, everything at El Silencio was exceptional. The lodge offers a perfect blend of luxury and nature. A special thank you to Estafny and Esperanza for their outstanding care and genuine kindness—they truly elevated my stay. Given that the lodge is nestled in the heart of the jungle, be prepared to encounter a few bugs and spiders here and there. That said, I didn’t get bitten once, and it never felt like a problem.

    Our room (16) was spacious and had a lovely hot tub but unfortunately not at all with the views of the jungle / mountains we were hoping for – def make sure you request a room higher up. The yoga class could also be a little tougher than just stretches.

    Tucked in the middle of the jungle, this property is charming. The cocktails were incredible and dinners delicious, which was a welcome change from the usual food you get in CR. The gym is not large but had nice equipment which was perfect for a workout when it was raining.

    Liked everything, but if you are the type who can’t get away from your phone, you will get strong Wi-Fi for calls and texts and emails only on the property. You go into town or go on trails or hiking there is no cell service, but I didn’t mind one bit being disconnected from our mobile device.

    The property was nature at its best. Trails for hummingbirds, trails to waterfalls,horseback riding, nice walk to small town(Bajos Del Toros), yoga and gym on site; just some of things we did, but other activities that we didn’t partake in as well. Beautiful country and from the moment we got picked up by the shuttle(the driver Rolando is a very nice and great guy) and the whole time at Silencio we were greeted by all great people the entire time. If you want a relaxing and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of life, look no further than here!

    All is amazing

    From our arrival until our departure from the hotel the attention was personalized, José Manuel took care of us and I made me feel at home! The room was impeccable, every detail was taken care of with care: cleanliness, lighting, temperature, bed sheets, all great! We had dinner at the Las Ventanas Restaurant and from our arrival Randal our waiter attended us in a personalized way, we ordered the menu tickets (which were great) and for the main course we ordered something out of the menu and there we had a great surprise the Executive Chef Robert prepared us a risotto with shrimp that was delicious! An experience that far exceeded our expectations and that we will soon repeat!

    The road to reach the property was technically difficult, we made it but it was not an easy drive.

    Amazing service, incredible food! It's a little expensive but really worth it! My dad really liked the yoga class, we saw beautiful birds from our room.
