La Selva Biological Station, hotel in Sarapiquí

Located in Sarapiquí, 0.6 mi from La Selva Biological Station main area, the lodge has a garden and a shared lounge at the dining hall, as well as free WiFi.

Being in the middle of a beautiful protected ecosystem where one can explore the wonders of nature and take advantage of the expert guides from the station is simple amazing. It is inspiring to be around all the young people who are there studying, too. The accommodations are basic but clean and the 15 minute walk to and from the dining area is truly a bonus! Just be sure to have your raincoat or an umbrella at all times. At night fireflies and the orange lights of flying beetles will help light your way. Magical! The food was a complete surprise. The chef is supremely talented and the meals were varied, nutritious and simply delicious. They serve you buffet style so you can request the appropriate portion for your need. Everything is ecologically sound. It is a hot and humid place but the showers are excellent and I just imagined standing under a cool waterfall before bedtime! With the good fans over each bed it is possible to sleep well. Excellent and inexpensive laundry service on sight. The boat trip down the Sarapiqui river is very nice, too. We saw many creatures…cayman, crocodiles, iguanas plus SO many birds.

Mirador Prendas, hotel in Sarapiquí

Featuring a garden, Mirador Prendas is located in Sarapiquí, within 5 mi of La Selva Biological Station. Complimentary WiFi is available. Fishing can be enjoyed nearby.

I felt like I had a good sense of this incredible destination from other reviews and was not disappointed. It's stunning and well-worth the rugged journey. The views are breath-taking and the wildlife abundant, from the 3 toucans who greeted us outside the bedroom window on our arrival, to the howler monkeys, cows, and countless other birds and creatures. We stayed two nights with our college-aged children and planned for a rest day on the property in between, but there was too much right there to see and explore for any resting! Our horseback riding tour was a highlight-- calm and confident horses and friendly capable guides-- I highly recommend. The night tour through the jungle was fascinating for most of us, and slightly frightening for one of us. ;-) We were well taken care-of, generous hospitality, and delicious meals. Our entire Costa Rican experience was amazing, and Mirador Prendas was the top of the list.

La Quinta Sarapiqui Lodge, hotel in Sarapiquí

Located in Sarapiquí, 23 miles from La Paz Waterfall, La Quinta Sarapiqui Lodge provides accommodations with free bikes, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

Facilities were great with a pool and trails. We were warned as regards a lack of wifi in rooms, but once in the lobby, it was fine. The lobby area was well equipped with games. We didn't have any complaints about the food. Staff helped book white water rafting, which we'd highly recommend. Our transfer unexpectedly turned up early and before breakfast, but staff ran around putting us up a takeaway breakfast - very much appreciated!

The grounds are beautiful and very interesting to explore, set amidst an archeological site. The restaurant serves delicious food and has lovely open views. The on-site infinity pool is stunning.

    Sarapiqui is a busy town, the commercial hub for the local area. We really enjoyed an excellent river trip, the guide was knowledgable and entertaining. We stayed at nearby Selva Verde using our own Hire Car to get around, driving is easy enough although this is a major highway

    A stunning adventure with lots of memories.

    A stunning adventure with lots of memories. Woke up to howler monkeys chatting in the treetops above my cabin. Great hikes, beautiful views. Guides are super knowledgeable and enthusiastic to be there. Something that's extra great? The employees--the guides, the cooks, etc.--all seem genuinely happy. It's clear that they're well taken care of and appreciated!

    While there are many Adventure tours available, we opted for the birding activities. We took one guided tour at Tirimbina and one at La Selva. Both provided unique species and I highly recommend taking the extra time to also go to La Selva. Air Conditioning is highly recommended to help you stay comfortable after a day in the heat and humidity, which the region is known for.

    We visited Sarapiquí in 2010 and we wanted to return. What we have found (in a period of 10 years), has been a significant increase of tourism and the expansion of the urban areas in the town. Now, there are more people living in Sarapiquí.

    People were very friendly .

    People were very friendly . Not much English speaking but we got by. We got out into the country with locals and really had a good time. A jungle tour is a must as it is still a lot of raw areas left. Great bird watching. It is not as hot as the beach areas and roads and driving is quite nerve wracking at times.

    Amazing and immersive rainforest experience. The forest itself is the true star of the show. The diversity of wildlife is outstanding. It was so special to have the researchers for the guides (you get a free morning tour if you stay there and we paid for a night tour). We saw and learned so much. we stayed for two nights with full board and loved every moment. Its not a hotel and we really enjoyed that it was something different. We embraced it as a place for learning and enjoyed that everyone was there for the same reason.

    Everything was literally outside your front door. We did not have to go on the trails to find any of the animals. They were in the trees surrounding the property. The restaurant was reasonably priced (actually cheap for a hotel) and had something for everyone. The guides were nice and knowledgeable. the hotel staff friendly and helpful. The roofs are made of a material so you really hear the rain which I liked. In the morning you can open your curtains and look outside and you feel like you are in the rainforest because you are.

    This place was so beautiful! When we arrived they had fruit "cocktail" drinks for us that were delicious! (and free!)... The staff made us feel like celebrities. The place is gorgeous with Bambu walkways above the ground. You almost feel like you're in a tree house. The staff was super prompt and helpful. The free breakfast was freshly prepared and also delicious. We wished we had booked more nights here! This was only 20 minutes from the sarapiqui Outdoor Center where we had an amazing time rafting!

    We booked this at the last minute as our plans changed. The hotel is pretty nice. we enjoyed spotting the camens down at the pond, seeing the frogs around the restaurant at night and the bird feeding station in the mornings. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

    It's very atypical. The houses in the shape of large huts are very nice and the vegetation is very present all around. The infinity pool is very beautiful. But what we really liked was the location. Tirimbina Park is accessible from the hotel. Awesome.
