This hotel was a lovely surprise. Booked because it's close (literally a few metres) from the bus station, it turned out to be a very comfortable and quiet place, surrounded by a small jungle. There's also a big restaurant, open all day and offering a good choice. The staff, both at the reception and at the restaurant, were very kind.

Large rambling hotel with individual or joined garden rooms in beautiful gardens full of wildlife including 2 secluded swimming pools and walks. Lovely staff and good food. The almost-cinematic view of foliage and incredible variety of birds (and frogs at night) from the dining area is really special.

Such a great place to bird and see such a variety of birds! (We saw 70 different species)
The bridge and views from the bridge are also brilliant and a great place to spot toucans from.
We walked all the Rainforest trails and loved them all.
Staff super friendly throughout.
Totally recommend a guided birdwatching tour too and a special shout out to William, who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate.
Rooms were also excellent and had a nice terrace where we saw toucans, mot mots and squirrels.
One of our Costa Rica accommodation highlights!

We spent two nights at Selva Verde Lodge during our Costa Rica trip. The lodge offers beautiful, spacious rooms with air conditioning, which were honestly the best accommodations we had during our trip. The property is well-maintained, featuring its own trails, a restaurant, a souvenir shop, and daily guided activities. The staff is incredibly friendly and always willing to help.

Location in nature and host, Wendy, was a lovely informative lady. I recommend the bird watching tour and the White water rafting with Green Rivers was excellent. You must also do the 20 min walk to Poza Azul waterfall (the dogs will guide you there!) which is stunning.
This island on the Puerto Viejo River offers charming rooms with balconies, overlooking the tropical rainforest of Sarapiqui.

A truly wonderful place to stay. You park your car and then walk over a small metal bridge to enter a garden island, completely surrounded by water, which is so beautiful, full of trees, flowers, and wildlife. Excellent range of birds in the garden, which the owner feeds each morning so you can eat breakfast watching them. Very friendly host who cooked us a lovely meal in the evening. The room was large and so well thought out and decorated. The bedroom was surrounded by windows, enabling you to observe the birds whilst sitting in bed. Howler monkeys and toucans in the garden were the highlights

The grounds were very nice with lots of birds, the room was clean but basic with good Air Con, it could do with re decorating and the bed was a bit firm, the staff were very friendly and the breakfast was nice, we had one evening meal which was fine

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.
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!
Five stars for this beautiful, remote, nature lovers’ paradise nestled next to Braulio GC Carillo National Park near Sarapiquì River. Staff are very friendly, knowledgeable about ecology & passionate about environmental conservation and forest regeneration. Lodgings and food simple, picturesque & wholesome. Daily night walks magical and teeming with life.
Hotel was exactly as described . An oasis in the rainforest. However what made our stay was the prompt help from staff when i twisted my ankle and they arranged for a doctor. There’s nothing more telling about a place than how they deal with things going wrong. So grateful for every they did .
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.
The Grand Gavilán Lodge is beautifully situated at die Sarapiqui River. It has it's own little jungle with nice trails through it.
The people there were very friendly and helpful.
The clean Swimmingpool was nice although some plants around it still need to grow ...
A nice hotel surrounded by a beautiful jungle with opportunities for birdwatching and relaxing. The room was air conditioned and comfortable, the restaurant was attractive with good selections priced reasonably. The staff were kind, courteous and hospitable.
Wendy and her family were fantastic hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Sarapiqui 2 to other travellers. Waking up to the sound of Howler Monkeys is something that we will never forget!
The bed was very comfortable and the staff were helpful and friendly.
We enjoyed the trails though not many birds to be seen.
There is a pool you can use at next hotel for $5.00 USD per,person.
A decent hotel with nice surroundings. A pretty pool with a nice view into the forest. With luck you can observe some wildlife as well. Spacious and comfortable rooms.
Beautiful hotel. It was a great place to relax. We walked to the cascades (one was guided) and they are splendid. The food was good and staff was friendly.
