excellent, quiet location, beautiful gardens and property. Villas were spacious, maximised the rainforest feel with large windows in the bedrooms. Giovanni was a superb host, his breakfasts were amazing next to the pool, his warm welcome was appreciated. He helped book many activities (canopy, thermal hot springs, mistico hanging bridges, cacao farm tour). could not recommend more! stay here and support this small business!

I travel a lot and spend a long time away from home, so cleanliness, comfort, and beauty around me are very important. I found all of this at La Tigra Mountain House. The beds are wide, the mattresses are comfortable. The hostess of the house is very attentive and caring. And I would like to highlight the view separately. It's fantastic!!! The Platanar and Porvenir volcanoes are visible as if in the palm of your hand. Sunrises, clouds running at eye level, and hovering birds attract and compel you to stop and enjoy life. In the morning, I tried to exercise, but it smoothly transitioned into meditation... As they say, it's better to see once than hear a hundred times!! Come and see for yourself. I recommend it...

Our stay at La Tigra Rainforest Lodge was truly a highlight of our Costa Rica trip. Having visited multiple places across the country, this one stood out as the most memorable by far. The food at La Tigra is simply amazing, with each dish crafted with care and attention to detail. From the quality and diversity of the menu to the beautiful presentation of the plates, it was a culinary delight at every meal. Our room was beyond amazing, boasting a stunning view of the jungle that made us feel like we were in a dream. Not only were the rooms impeccably clean, but we were pleasantly surprised to find warm water—a luxury in the midst of the rainforest. The entire experience felt surreal and truly special, something we know we'll never forget. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, taking the time to explain everything clearly and ensuring that our every need was met. Their genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was the frog tour, which we had the pleasure of experiencing twice—once in rain and once in dry weather. Each time was a unique and magical encounter with Costa Rica's incredible biodiversity. The journey to La Tigra was an adventure in itself, with the scenic drive requiring a 4x4 vehicle and a leisurely pace. But the anticipation of what awaited us at the lodge made it all the more exciting. In conclusion, La Tigra Rainforest Lodge surpassed all our expectations and left us with memories that will last a lifetime. It truly was the most memorable stay of our trip, and we can't wait to return someday.

The whole place with the sustainable concept was marvelous. The lodges, common area, whole surrounding basically in the jungle, night tour with Jay, the organic food, juices, ... not to mention the owners. They are so dedicated to their cause and I learned so much of them in this short period I stayed there. When you wake up in the morning and embrace all the sounds, animals, trees, plants - the jungle, you think you are in heaven. I would highly recommend this place to stay. I hope to return one day

What we liked the most is the privacy of the place. This place has everything you need for a relax time with your couple, family or friends. The swimming pool is super nice and clean. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare food,even with a blender. The owner was super attentive and kind, we really appreciate that.
