“A delightful homely ecolodge amidst stunning wildlife”
06 Feb 2025
An absolutely delightful place in a tranquil setting. If you are looking for somewhere a bit off the beaten track, close to nature, to stay somewhere spotlessly clean, comfortable and beautifully run look no further than San Rafael Ecolodge. You can easily miss the area as it’s not really mentioned in the Rough Guide, and because it’s outside of La Fortuna, it is an area you might think of missing (La Fortuna is a tourist town and was never a town before the tourism trade), but the area around La Tigra is absolutely stunning and along its many rivers it is part of the wildlife corridors linking the plains, with The Eternal Forest of the Children (the reason that Monteverde exists is the hinterland of this vast protected forest) to the Monteverde cloud forest itself. We saw the most birds and animals while staying here and had been to some stunning locations before. Giovanni and Luis are the perfect hosts - they really do go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. As La Fortuna is nearby, we were not interested in trips to adventure parks so we asked Giovanni if he knew any good nature guides, and he delivered spectacularly. Giovanni’s first recommendation was the wonderful Alberto, a Spanish biologist who teaches Wildlife Management at the National University, and we did two fantastic tours and walks with him Our second guide was the amazing Victor, a local biologist and great birder, who took us to Papa’s Place for some of the best bird watching we’ve done on Costa Rica (three species of Toucans at once). if you’d prefer a somewhere with a delicious cold beer on your own balcony, looking at trees, watching fireflies and listening to the frogs and insects by a stream, a lovely pool for a refreshing swim after a forest walk, and delicious home cooked food then I highly recommend staying here. Giovanni will arrange everything for you (he takes no commission) and if it’s quiet will drive you around himself - highly recommended!

“Superb”

We really enjoyed the lovely peaceful bush setting at San Rafael Ecolodge which provided for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. The facilities were spotless and the service was great. Many thanks to both our hosts

“Stunning place with fantastic hosts who truly care for their customers”
02 Jul 2024
Everything! Five-star hospitality at a serene and stunning spot. Costa Rica is a gem and San Rafael Ecolodge is truly exceptional. Owners Giovanni and Luis are not just hosts; they are true ambassadors of hospitality. Kind and dedicated professional who truly care for their customers, who feel at home right away, and for their place, and who are also committed to protect local wildlife and maintain the surroundings impeccably. San Rafael is a very special place, sited at a rainforest, which makes it unique. Rooms are very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is delicious! Muchas, muchas gracias, Giovanni and Luis. No question I will be back!
