Nice jungle lodge. Overall a good place to stay, though the night when I stayed there there was no hot water. That was the only downside of this hotel.

This was my second time in Sarapiqui and rather than spending only two days hopping from place to place, our family decided to spend a week in one place to really learn and enjoy the area. La Quinta was highly recommended, so we gave it a try. We’re so glad we did. As a nature lover, there’s so much to explore just by spending time on the grounds.

I was welcomed to La Quinta by four toucans, regularly saw parrots, honeycreepers, scarlet tanagers, and a mating pair of scarlet macaws, and so many other birds. In the frog area, I regularly spotted the beautiful red eyed tree frogs and many others. Each day I visited the ponds where a caiman is sunning. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the food was good, and the accommodations are very inviting. Nice pool, lots of sitting areas, a bar, nature trails, a nice walk to an old farm.

The place has an artsy vibe, a bit off beat, in a nice way. We felt very at home. We used La Quinta as a jumping off point to take a wonderful chocolate tour, evening nature hike in Tirimbina Nature Preserve, a bird walk there on another day, a boat tour along the Sarapiqui River, a canopy tour to the Braulio Carillo National Park, but we barely scratched the surface of all we could have done. We didn’t rent a car and were not on a tour, so they arranged a taxi each time. Next time, I would rent a car.

This place is a diamond in the rough and should not be missed!

La Quinta is a very welcoming place. The staff is fantastic: very responsive and capable in every respect. I have to make special mention of Diego, who greeted me warmly when I arrived and helped me finalize arrangements to visit two local nature preserves. Diego is enthusiastic and exceptionally competent. I also want to tip my hat to Leonardo, the chef. He make a lamb dish one night that was out of this world. Finally, I recommend that visitors take advantage of the trails around the lodge in the early morning and at night. The ponds at the back of the property are teaming with frogs and toads. Bring a flashlight!!!

Clean room. Very nice staff. Beautiful property. Amazing amount of animal life on property. Hummingbirds right outside our little porch all day. Had breakfast and a la carte which was good. We did not do the dinner buffet. Loved the feel of the lodge with the library and games. Just a beautiful place overall.

This is a charming resort. Please don’t expect five star luxury but the facilities are very nice and the team extremely friendly. They cater for larger groups but that was not a problem. The area has some wonderful walks and wildlife - although unfortunately we did not see any sloths.

There was a heavy rain on that day (26th April '24) Power went off. There was an outage for 2 plus hours. The lady staff at the reception desk dint know when the power wd be back. ( No surprise!) We cd see several small 'refillable- liquid -contained- glass lights ' were lit in the reception desk, bar and dining hall. ( Are these the best alternatives for Solar powered lanterns !!?)

However, the guests rooms were left to be in dark.

When we asked for a Manager to whom we can escalate this issue, reception desk gave a helpless reply.. No such person it seems !

Just wondering, is this Hotel not having a system of Power back ups for rooms ?!!

Thank God, the power came after 2 hours. Otherwise we wd have been sweating through out the night.

\" The best Management practice is the one, which should be shown at the time of Crisis '

We dint see any of that kind there !!

I loved that they feed bananas and fruit to the birds daily. The grounds were amazing to see wildlife, humming birds, butterflies, bats, frogs and caiman. The rooms come with your own patio, this was a nice touch as were the hammocks. We can't wait stay here the next time we visit Sarapiqui Costa Rica.

Stay somewhere else

We have been in Costa Rica for two weeks and this was the worst place we have stayed.
The bugs are so bad you may get carried away by them.
The rooms are old and dilapidated. We didn’t feel comfortable showering. For the price we paid there are WAY better places to stay in CR.
No internet in the rooms. Too many bugs to sit outside and enjoy the scenery (I promise there are plenty of beautiful places to stay in CR where the bugs are not that bad… this place is a breeding ground for mosquitos).
They charge you $10 USD per person for a breakfast buffet… the worst we have seen. All other places we stayed the breakfast was free and WAY better.
$8 USD for a beer? Come on!
Stay somewhere else!
Mold in the bathrooms
Uncomfortable beds
No wife
Tons of bugs
Horrible food
Extremely overpriced

Great place for bird watching.

The area is beautiful and if you like to watch the birds, the place is set up for that. The restaurant is good and reasonably priced the breakfast buffet is complimentary. Overall, the place is very clean. The very large property is somewhat unkempt. New bedlinens and towels would be helpful. Rooms are dated and a little interior sprucing up would be nice

Decent ecolodge in the Sarapiqui Valley

La Quinta Sarapiqui Lodge is a good base to explore the valley (ideal if looking to spend the day white-water rafting nearby). The staff was friendly and attentive. The lodge is located by a small river away from the main road making it a peaceful place to stay. The facilities are a little dated (more so than the pictures suggest) and could do with some modernisation and extra maintenance. The food offered on site was rather basic and we ate better in sodas for cheaper.

Great place with terrific staff service.

The facility was terrific; the overall cleanliness was superb! Staff was super-helpful in all matters. The A/C in our first room was faulty and we were switched ASAP. The staff even moved our suitcases/belongings. We had a great river view, literally below our balcony. Food was good to excellent. Bird feeders were great for photo ops and were kept full throughout the day. Only downside to stay (5 nights) was the presence of large number of children on 1 night. Noisy! To the credit of the chaperones, the kids were in bed, lights off, at 10:00 PM, but the tranquility of the evening was lessened.

Très belle découverte avec un environnement particulièrement riche. Tout est un savoureux mélange donnant une experience très agréable notamment grâce à un environnement propice à la rencontre avec la faune locale.
Seul bémol la personne à l'accueil et au service du repas du soir qui ne nous paraît pas adaptée pour ce métier. Pour autant, cela n'a pas entaché notre sejour.

Schönes Hotel

Preis-Leistung stimmt. Die Reception und auch das Serviceperspnal sind leider unfreundlich. Herausragend ist Diego, der sehr hilfsbereit ist und sehr nett. Ich wartete somit bis er seine Schicht hatte, um Fragen zu stellen. Denn bei den anderen gab es keine Motivation.
Zimmer sind gross (Familienzimmer), Pool ist Standard.
Wir hatten keine Mahlzeiten inklusive, was auch gut war. Wir haben einmal da gegessen und ist für uns nicht gut und zu teuer. In der Nähe hat es ein oder zwei gute Alternativen.
