A great stopover spot, but having a car is essential if you plan to explore Sarapiquí, as taxis are pricey as the property is far from all activities. It wasn’t an issue for us, but worth noting the bathroom isn’t fully enclosed, so keep that in mind for privacy.

Beautiful gardens, comfortable rooms, and a fantastic pool! The restaurant is reasonably priced with good food, and the bed was very comfortable. The room had everything we needed, though a fridge would have been handy. The owner and staff were wonderful and even gave us a lift to the bus terminal—such kind hospitality!

The owner, Jean Pierre, has had a great vision for Hacienda La Isla since he bought the property 18 years ago - a sustainable retreat that is ecologically and culturally sound. Talking with him and walking the 3.5 km nature trail we’re both unexpected treats.

Many insects like mosquitos, spiders in the room and bathroom. Windows cannot be completely closed and no screens against mosquitoes.

Oasis that we liked a lot. Very friendly and committed staff. Wonderful garden and surrounding park. Very good breakfast. Great chocolate tour.

Sleeping in the « domo » (the yurt) was truly magical. we could thus hear nature better. The bedroom and bathroom area were spacious, comfortable and very clean. The garden and the property are really gorgeous We took advantage of it to take the 4km walk in the forest path into the property. The view from the restaurant is incredible for breakfast. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Our guests was super kind and helpful!

Stayed here for a night to break a long journey, stayed on for a local guide arranged by lodge on cacao growing & production which was amazing, so educational & delicious. The accommodation including super huge bed in lovingly built traditional buildings set right in jungle surroundings. Fantastic marked trail around grounds to explore the jungle and kitchen garden. A big bonus was the pool where we sat and watched the monkeys playing in the trees above. Also had dinner which was excellent and met the owner who is friendly, passionate about the environment and really helpful.

It was a little tricky to find in the dark.

Location is great! We stayed here two nights on our way from San Jose to Manzanillo. The setting is lush and beautiful and very relaxing. The food is fantastic and the rooms are comfortable. The owner of the property is a lovely gentleman who will visit with you and give you ideas of things to do in the area and on the property. We did the chocolate tour and really enjoyed it.

The place wasn’t as easy to find specially when its dark. Maybe to help some better larger signage or give pictures or instructions of how to to get to place with pictures might be useful.

Its beautiful place specially if you like nature. Owners & staff were lovely and polite.

A quirky, eclectic property, fascinating layout with seriously healthy forest. Howler monkeys on site, also saw 2 types of poison arrow frogs and many birds. Great kitchen dishing up freshly prepared food. Friendly, helpful staff.

The rooms do not ventilate enough so the humidity made the pillows smell a bit.

Great atmosphere, fully grown garden, visually stunning.

Room was dark and bed sheets had mouldy. Place needs a bit of love, has lots of potential and nice surrounds.

Nice pool and food was good.

Although of decent size, the double rooms we booked were tired looking. Bathroom/sanitary could do with an upgrade.

The place is surrounded by jungle with a nice walking trail and monkeys that may greet you in the morning. The food and drinks served at the restaurant are very tasty. Staff was kind.
