There was nothing we did not like about the hotel.

Absolutely beautiful facility with the friendliest nicest most helpful staff I've ever had at a hotel. They make great suggestions on different excursions and even booked those excursions made phone calls etc. free coffee free water reasonable price restaurant with good food. I would absolutely stay there again. We had our own hot tub outside our own Cabana filled with fresh water.

I liked everything about the property

The property is extremely lush. It’s full different plants and flowers as well as different animals. We saw sloths, toucans and many other birds. The rooms are amazing as well. Each room feels very private and is surrounded by beautiful foliage

The food in the restaurant is too expensive and there's not really any local Costa Rican food on the menu. It was really nice not to have to go anywhere though, and they had live music which we enjoyed. The bill just seemed high, but I guess we did have a couple cocktails each.

Very comfortable, modern, and spacious rooms. Beautiful and luscious tropical landscaping. Fantastic amenities such as the jacuzzi, coffee in the lobby, welcome drink, etc. Friendly and courteous staff, very accommodating. Nice live music in the restaurant to set the mood. The pool was beautiful at night and the water temperature was just right. Excellent breakfast with lots of options and extras included. Easy to book tours through the front desk and they didn't overcharge for convenience, the prices seemed normal. This boutique-like hotel compares well against other more expensive resorts in the area with similar services and quality, especially for the price. Good value and very relaxing.

Beautiful location , surrounded by forest feels like in the jungle . The food was amazing , breakfast is included and ala carte and with lots of good options and delicious. While the facilities, layout , design and vibe of the place were amazing it was the staff that made it exceptional . We picked this place as we just got engaged the same day and wanted to day somewhere nice. We mentioned that to the front desk and they made an especially table for us at the dinner with flower decoration and very cute congratulations card . While it was a simple gesture it really meant a lot and made our whole stay just exceptional and memorable .

The location and grounds were amazing. Near enough to town but close enough to be immersed in nature - the landscaping at Noah’s is fantastic- and the wildlife is abundant. The staff were super friendly and couldn’t be more genuinely helpful - Chi Chi, Arlen, Eric, Charlie and Ana were just a few. But behind the scenes the cleaning left beautiful towel animals each day and our rooms were spotless. Breakfast was a pleasure as were the many cocktails and evening food at the restaurant. Best place to stay in Arenal having looked at others in the area. Ooh, a your very own hot tub, surrounded by lush planting and hummingbirds was a huge bonus!

We loved the nature surroundings, hospitality. We felt welcomed, staff was very attentive and created warm and friendly atmosphere (reception, restaurant). Villa was comfortable, good AC, stylish and very clean. Would love to visit this hotel again!

The hotel is a little far away from the center of La Fortuna but the staff are happy to arrange transport for you or if you do not mind walking then it is less than a 30min walk.

We really liked the privacy of the rooms with your own hot tub! All the staff were amazing and learned our names after the first day. Shout out to Anme Sol, Allan Rey and Chi Chi.

Beautiful setting. Like that they map the sloths daily. Staff was excellent

🌿 A Magical Corner in the Heart of the Forest 🌿 I had the privilege of staying at Noah’s Forest Hotel by Tifakara to celebrate my 50th birthday, and I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how special the experience was. The hotel is without a doubt one of the most beautiful I’ve ever visited—surrounded by lush nature, with architecture that honors and blends seamlessly into its environment, and a peaceful atmosphere that embraces you from the very first moment. But what truly made my stay unforgettable were the people. Sol and Ana at the front desk welcomed me with such sincere warmth that I felt at home instantly. Allan guided me through a wonderful tour experience with kindness and care. And at the restaurant, Arlen, Charlie, and Erick treated me with such heartfelt attention that it truly touched my soul. They all went above and beyond to celebrate my birthday with thoughtful details that made this trip deeply meaningful and emotional. This place is not just a boutique hotel in the forest; it’s a space where your heart feels seen and embraced. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking more than just a getaway—this is a journey of connection, beauty, genuine hospitality, and love in the small details. Thank you, Noah’s Forest, for everything. You’ll forever hold a place in my heart. 🌱💛

We have stayed in many places around the world and Noah's Forest was one of the best we have ever experienced. This place is truly exceptional. Beautiful sounds that make you feel immersed in a jungle environment with amenities in a stunning setting (outdoor pool and ping pong, pool, restaraunt). Free coffee and cold water at any time, incredible breakfast included with the stay, fantastic private hot tubs. There was nothing we didn't love. The staff was incredible. Anna at the front helped with anything we needed, even helping me figure out how to get a prescription we forgot to bring. She was so friendly, helpful and kind. The wait staff was similarly lovely and friendly. The room was crisply clean, with great a/c, and a lovely shower. If we ever get the chance to come back, we will. Book this place - you won't be disappointed!

Nothing.

It was the best place we've been to. Thanks to the amazing staff - Allan, Hansell and Sol, they made our vacation unforgettable. The property is super clean, spacious, the breakfast is really tasty (you choose a dish from the menu and have a small bouffe without bread and juices). We also dined one evening at the restaurant (sometime nights there are live music which is so much fun) which was really good (lookout for the price though). This resort offers 2 tours form free which were so cool - a night tour to look for frogs (approx 1 hour) and a noon forest walk around the hotel's forest to look for sloths and cool birds. The coffee at the lobby is really good, try it. Basically the whole stay was like we're in paradise and everyone are trying to make it even better. It's was so good. Thank you Allan for being amazing. Really.

Amazing staff at this hotel that go out of their way to help with anything. The location is great if you don’t want to hire a car as it’s easily walkable to and from the centre where there are loads of restaurants and shops.

The staff! I can’t say enough about their attentive service! Loved being greeted everyday with our names! They would make any request seem like it was no problem at all!

No problems

Noah’s forest was excellent. It was the best property I have been to and I travel to luxury resorts around the world. I loved the small size and private villa/bungalows with private hot tubs surrounded by lush greenery and flowers. The staff treated you like family. There was a sloth on the property and the grounds crew had a telescope they would move throughout the day for our viewing. It was these small things that made the resort so special. It was absolute paradise. The food was excellent. The resort is only a mile from town so we were able to walk to town easy enough. Uber is common,easy,and fast.

The room and the location

Stayed in February 2025

Getting our luggage in and out was a little tricky with the gravel albeit we had help. The entrance that we used to get into the building didn’t align with the rest of the hotel - we thought we were in the wrong place at first

Breakfast was very nice, modest but staff were outstanding. Our hot tub was lovely although I thought I’d be getting a private pool. Front of house staff were very lovely. Loved the unique greenery and feel of the hotel.

This boutique hotel offers fantastic accommodations. The staff was just wonderful. We met Allan at the front desk, along with Chichi and Erick at the restaurant. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy. We enjoyed dinner there twice, accompanied by live music from some great artists
