My husband and I stayed at LaQuinta-Sarapiqui last week as part of a tour group. Upon arrival we checked the bedding and the condition of our room as we always do. Our fitted sheet had five stains across the middle, each about two to three inches wide. It took several minutes for the woman at the front desk to understand... More

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights during a VJV Central America's Garden of Eden tour. Our room was large with 2 huge Super King beds and a large shower. It was clean and tidy if a little dark mainly because of a thatched roof over the little terrace in front of the room which meant not much... More

This was the last major stop on our birding trip. After settling into our rooms, there was a knock on the door..."toucans in the lobby area!". We rushed out to find Collared Aracari in the trees and feeding from fruits set out on a wooden slab. This was just the beginning! A seating area provided comfortable viewing of a large... More

Location for rafting and canopy was perfect. Staff hardly speaks english. Food is very simple, don't expect anything special. Rooms are big, but dirty and outdated. Beds are terribly hard. Grounds look nice. Didn't see the croqs. Butterfly garden was empty.

We stayed at this hotel on our way to Arenal. We actually stopped her to do the Tirimbina Night Hike. The hotel wasn't the best that we stayed at but it suited our needs. The grounds were very nice but the pool didn't go past 4 feet deep. In my opinion the staff didn't speak much English but we found... More

The rooms are adequate here - heaps of mosquitoes due to the close proximity of the river, so hanging out on the porch is a non-starter. Food was adequate. Love that the chef went out of his way to prep fish for the non-meaters in our group, and was very personable.

This was the third hotel on our tour and we really enjoyed staying here. The rooms were not particularly luxurious, but the hotel in general had a really nice atmosphere to it. Our room was a good size but there wasn’t much storage space and we weren’t able to get much use out of the terrace due to mosquitoes. Instead... More

This hotel is out of town and in a quite spot, which is what we like. The hotel features small buildings that hold the rooms with small outdoor 'balcony' with a hammock. The room also has air conditioning, which you want during month of August. The restaurant is not very good. Dinner was a buffet for the two nights we... More

If you are traveling with kids to Sarapiqui, this place is a must! It has playgrounds, frog ponds, lizards galore, bats, a butterfly garden, a swimming pool, a pool table, and tube rafting on the river that runs past the lodge. (The travel guides also mention horseback riding but that service is no longer available.) For adults there are hammocks,... More
