This tis has to be tried. I feel I was staying in the jungle. I wake up in the morning with a smile in my face and listen to monkeys and birds with some amazing sounds. It is a complex of about ten houses, scattered around with a nice garden around. The team who work there make me feel special... More

This definitely out-of-the-way place is a treasure. If you are looking for the Marriott experience make reservations elsewhere - maybe even the Marriott. This unique gem makes you one with nature. It is out of the way but in a good way. The secluded beach is less than a half a mile walk and very easy. You probably won't see... More

We stayed at The Flying Crocodile over New Year 2012/13 with our 2.5yr old daughter. We had a self catering room - Chagall. The website lacks in pictures so you're not entirely sure what you're getting. Our room was very nice though didn't have the 'fully equipped' kitchen that is mentioned on the site. We had to ask for a... More

We stayed at the room for 3 and was extremely satisfied. The people running the place are new and very eager to give friendly and quality service. Decoration is special, food are all fresh, breakfast is rich. We had a pleasant stay.

We had NO hot water for our entire visit which I think is unacceptable and when we allowed 48 hours to try to leave early on last night we were told no refund. It was... More

The Flying Crocodile is a beautiful home base for your exploration of the Nicoya Peninsula. And you can experience Costa Rica even if you don't leave the grounds, with the howler monkeys, iguanas, and plenty of lush vegetation. It manages to feel both luxurious and rustic (with the most rustic elements being the lukewarm showers and non-biting ants in the... More

It is difficult to imagine a better place to stay while in Costa Rica than the The Flying Crocodile Hotel. The grounds are breathtaking, the staff caring and helpful, the rooms charming and inspiring, the food always fresh, imaginative and tasty, the pool and Yoga Pavilion breath-taking, the beach everything it should be, and the amenities? I have one word... More

Aside from the AMAZING art of the layout and design of this hotel (every bungalow is like a journey into the dream of a beautiful artist tucked into the nooks of a lively yet safe jungle) I was impressed with the warmth of the staff and the overall feeling that: Here Is Someplace Truly Special. I will be back again... More

Beaches and rainforests can be found in many spots of our world. But, people make the difference of the expats and visitors hang out special. The host makes you feel at home; with great food, setting and non-intrusive service. We are a group of 18-20 using the hotel as our retreat and the space is totally at our disposal. Plus,... More
