to get started.

Very clean. Beautiful lush setting, like nothing we had seen before. Easy to get to. Walking distance to waterfall hike. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Good breakfast.

Paul, Canada

As unique as its name, "Tifakara Boutique Hotel & Bird Oasis", this hotel delivers a full, complete and excellent package of hotel, location, amenities, staff and birds. The hotel is in a quiet area that is easily walkable to nearby Fortuna Catarata (the local beautiful and swimmable waterfall on the side of Arenal Volcano) and with easy access to the town of La Fortuna, Arenal Volcano and to the nearby hot springs and other outdoor activities. Great staff with special mention to Esteban in the Dining Room and to Katherin at the Front Desk, both of whom made us feel very welcome. Upgrade to one of the large bungalows. You will love and enjoy the privacy, the extra space and the large bird-viewing patio. Loved the indoor/outdoor shower - showering and bird watching at the same time - a lovely, one of a kind experience.

Robert, Canada

Room was relatively small, but new and modern. Showering in 'open air' (with roof) gives it a special touch. There is a nice pool. Staff is helpful in providing information on activities that you can do in the area.

Stefan, United States of America

The staff was very friendly and professional. They made our stay very comfortable. Dinner and included breakfast were both excellent. Very close to La Fortuna waterfall, within short walking distance. Wish we were staying longer

Anna, United States of America

The room is luxurious comfortable with lovely amenities. There is a hot tub (!!) as well as a pool, a restaurant and a bar. The staff are infallibly friendly and helpful.

Wendy, United States of America

The birds--especially the Toucans. Staff was great, Kudos to Esteban

David, United States of America

Beautiful peaceful property in 10 minute walking distance from La Fortuna Waterfall. Cabins were spacious and comfortable. Very nice restaurant and bar with a nice selection of wines and menu items. Breakfast was included and you could order it from the menu. Very relaxing music in restaurant. Fantastic friendly service and beautiful bird watching too! Also a good little restaurant next door. I wish I could've stayed longer! Thanks for great experience on my first trip to Costa Rica!

Surroundigs - there was beautiful garden, nice pool, quiet and peaceful area with a volcano view. The service at the reception was great - always very helpful with everything from ordering taxi to checking why our trip shuttle was late. The rooms were comfortable and nice and looked exactly like on pictures.

Mirosława, Poland

I liked everything. The staff is very friendy and helpful. The rooms are absolutely amazing. The panoramic windows in glass, in the middle of the jungle make the experience unforgettable. Rooms are spacious and modern, with very good taste. Breakfast is very good.

Rita, United States of America
