Jose and all of the staff go out of their way to make your stay fantastic! Comfortable king size bed in Suite Reinitas (suite with mountain view). Large bathroom with an indoor and outdoor shower. Balcony with hammock, two chairs, and table. Clean. Delicious food for the included breakfast. We also enjoyed dinner there two nights. Wi-fi is available everywhere on the property. Easy walk to waterfall at the top of the hotel’s road. There are several hummingbird feeders and bushes that the hummingbirds love. Chairs are there with a covered seating area and restrooms if you want to relax and enjoy nature. Excellent birding along the road on property - on your own or with a guide. We are new to birding and saw 44 species with our guide in 2 hours. Free gathering around sunset to try to see one of the rarer birds in Costa Rica.

The place is perfect, there was nothing I did not like about hotel Quelitales.

The breakfast was great. The location was perfect especially for birdwatching and our room was a little cabin in the woods with an outdoor shower as an option and a view of a wonderful waterfall.

Only suggestion is to expand the implementation of screens over windows and possibly doors. Bugs can be a minor annoyance at night.

Continued visible investment in the future state of the natural environment.

Nothing

I cannot think of one single thing I didn't like about this place. The beds, the food, the staff, the views… oh the views are spectacular... Cannot get enough of this experience. Loved it and will definitely go back.

Excellent service for serious birdwatchers. The owner clearly went out of his way to ensure we had views of some tough species even though the weather was not great. He encouraged us to go enjoy some of the more regular birds while he whistled us in when the Green-fronted Lancebill showed up at the waterfall! What more could a serious birder ask for!

It was cold in the dining room when we ate dinner, as there was a rain storm. We kept our rain jackets and all layers on while we ate dinner. Some way of warming that area would be helpful.

Allowed to check in early - so appreciated especially since we had to leave before check out time the next day. A waterfall right at the hotel! Getting into bed felt like falling into a cloud! So comfortable. And we were in one of the cheaper units. Food is amazing. Dinner was delicious. Onion soup could have been bigger for $7. Steak was delicious. Breakfast was plentiful, delicious and coffee was great. Service was very good. Amazing hummingbird garden - like nothing I've ever seen before! I could have stayed there all day long. Little pond right in front of our unit with running water. And plenty of private space around. Units are not near each other, which is very nice.

the facilities are aging, and the room was a bit out of shape (broken tiles, fading paint, etc)

Amazing location in the middle of the rain forest, many birds (hummingbirds, ant pitta, etc) with very beautiful waterfall on the grounds. Breakfast and dinner were great and tasty. comfy beds and large room.

The rooms was ok, but there's no hot water in the shower. 🥶

In general the place was ok. The food was great. The host Gabriel Mora makes my day. He was very professional with us. The birds knowledge is a plus.

There was nothing that we could complain about. It was the best service we experienced in Costa Rica.

The owner, José Alavaraz, is an amazing host. He checked us in, walked in the rain to show us our unit, brought our supper to the room when my wife fell ill and served us a healthy and tasty breakfast. He also answered all our questions with enthusiasm and guided us regarding the acquisition of property in Costa Rica. Our unit had the most beautiful view of the waterfall. The forest walk was tranquil and just what we needed after a long walk. Altogether, this is an incredible sanctuary in a cray world.

when the owner makes you dinner at 11.30 because you were back late thats going the extra mile. As keen birders we were well looked after, knowledge and assistance in locating the key birds. Food was the best we ate in Costa Rica All in all a wonderfull stay thank you Jose and staff
