The Ecolodge is in the beautiful and peaceful San Luis valley less than 5 miles from the Monteverde cloud forest reserve. There are no other hotels or lodging in the valley and traffic is practically non-existent. All meals are included and are served family style so it is easy to meet interesting people at the meals. Bird watchers will appreciate... More

My friend and I came here to stay the night and they only had cabinas left. The place was clean and wonderful and the people very nice, but it was quite expensive. We ended up being billed $140, which is about what we spent for a week's food and housing in other areas of Central America such as Guatemala and... More

A friend and I stayed at UGA ecolodge san luis for about 3 days. The staff were super friendly and were able to plan our entire stay and arrange transportation. Our rates included 3 meals per day which were really delicious but like the other reviews suggest, you may get bored of the food if you are planning to stay... More

We wanted to support research stations in Costa Rica while we were traveling and were ready for some compromises on lodge quality, but not here. The rooms were very comfortable and clean and had great views. The staff was amazing, so friendly and helpful, from the reservation process over the internet and throughout our stay. We enjoyed the traditional food... More

We stayed for three nights at the eco lodge and it was incredible. The cabins were a 10 minute walk and very secluded in the jungle. The naturalists were amazing, the lodge has great tours of local organic farms, coffee producers, etc for exceptionally cheap. This is the best way to see the less touristy cool projects in the Monteverde... More

We stayed at the Ecolodge San Luis in early November 2010. The accomodations and services there far exceeded our expectations. We were anticipating rustic lodging, but were pleasantly surprised with modern, lovely decorated cabinas, all panelled and furnished with the native guanacaste wood. Our cabina had a wonderful view of the surrounding Cloud Forest and the Nicoya Gulf was visible... More

Stayed 4 days/nights with a fellow outdoorsperson and loved every day.

Staff were professional, warm, friendly and accomodating. Food was delicious and lovingly prepared by a wonderful group of women and men. We instantly felt at... More

We went to San Luis Ecolodge because we wanted to stay in Monteverde an extra couple of days. This place was recommended. However, we found that despite a reservation, they were not at all prepared for us. The activities listed as included in the room price did not happen, despite arranging for them. The only person available to provide the... More

The blue-crowned motmot, Wilson’s warbler, Orange-bellied Trogon, Brown-hooded parrot, gray-headed chachalaca… No, we’re not birders, but we visited the ecolodge UGA San Luis. For us, people who are living in one of the most crowded areas in Europe, we truly can call our stay a revelation. Actually we couldn’t leave ; we had a reservation for 3 nights and stayed... More
