We had an excellent time at the Mikado. It was our first time to Costa Rica and it was probably one of our best holidays. Such a fun adventure. Lolo was an excellent host and if you do stay you must take advantage of her dinners. Incredibly romantic. The location is perfect. Quick drives to Tamarindo, Playa Avellanas and Playa Conchal. Great places to explore and then return to the peace and tranquility of the lodge. Absolutely perfect.

Negrita is the best host in Costa Rica 🐷 The true queen of the lodge, she’s such a fun and unexpected part of the experience, and honestly made our stay even more memorable.

Beyond that, Mikado is peaceful and surrounded by lush nature. Our room was spotless and very comfortable, and daily breakfast was lovely.

Everything felt warm, personal, and genuinely welcoming

This was our very first trip to Costa Rica (for our 20th Wedding Anniversary) and it won’t be our last! The best part was staying at this place, which was pure luxury… architect-designed bungalows that were impeccably clean with great amenities (the housekeeper even cleaned my sandy flipflops one day!), a gorgeous picturesque pool, a cool little hiking path carved out of the hillside, and the BEST breakfasts.

All the reviewers raved about Lolo, the Belgium-born owner, being a gracious host, and that is so true! I loved hearing all her stories about how Mikado came to life. She’s an amazing woman. BONUS: Lolo has two friendly dogs and a PET PIG named Negrita!!

DO book a dinner at Mikado (Lolo just needs a couple days notice) because she’s an incredible chef. We had a 3 course meal with Mahi Mahi as the entree, drizzled with this delicious passion fruit sauce.

Yes, the roads in the area are a challenge - as are most in Costa Rica, by the way - but my husband loved driving them in his Jimny we rented. Two biggest suggestions I have are: rent a 4x4 vehicle (we had a great experience with Alamo at LIR). Also, your map may guide you in to Mikado from the south- you should enter from the northern route. We felt safe everywhere we went in Guanacaste and we are already planning another trip to Costa Rica, this time with the kids (my daughter wants to meet Negrita!) 💕

Lola is amazing! She went above and beyond for us and the property is clean and beautiful. The roads in Costa Rica are rough dirt with huge pot holes though you’ll definitely want a small SUV

The owner, Lolo, is very helpful and knowledgeable. She prepares a homemade breakfast for each guest. The property is lovely and I am a big fan of the bathrooms in the bungalows. Nice size shower, lovely wood and fresh air coming in from 3 sides. There is a bit of a drive up a dirt road to get there (but this is very typical of Costa Rican roads). Well worth it once you arrive.

Phenomenal place to recharge in nature

Our stay at Mikado was nothing short of phenomenal. The incredible Lolo and her wonderful team + family have truly built a slice of heaven on earth.

Our bungalow was cute, cool, comfy, spacious and private—nestled right in the woods. The Mikado grounds are beautiful and very special—with lots of stunning views, a refreshing infinity pool and shaded hot tub that are both open at night, two lovely trails to hike, and a warm dining area where each visitor is treated like the guest of honor. As if Lolo wasn’t enough of an all-star for building and running this place in tip top shape, she also is an incredible chef who was able to serve us nonstop prix fixe deliciousness even while accommodating my significant dietary restrictions.

With the resort built atop a hilltop forest tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo, there’s no better place for a nature lover than Mikado. We saw howler monkeys, tropical birds, iguanas, frogs, toads, lizards—and that was all just from the luxurious comfort of the pool! And because it’s a small resort without too many guests at a time, the facilities all felt very private.

We cannot recommend this place more highly and honestly could’ve stayed MONTHS longer than we did. Don’t miss the opportunity to treat yourself by staying somewhere so special.

Lolo the owner is a great host. The cabin is very clean and nice. The road to the place is not good, which accounts for a average rating. One caveat is to make sure you do not go on a road recommended by WAZE where you have to cross a stream. Call the owner and get direction's for another route.
