Villas in Cantón Upala

"We stayed for 2 nights. The resort is very cool with a lot of nature right in the middle of the jungle. The rooms are nice. The food is expensive and mostly just okay. There are a lot of activities to do there, but you are a captive audience and excursions are quite expensive. Transportation out there is a bit difficult, be prepared for a long Uber ride. The service at the Sunset Bar was abysmal, the first night we went there they forgot my pizza I had ordered. The second night we went we were there for 45 minutes without someone even coming to give us water so we left and went to the other restaurant. -1 star for that. We did the night walk tour with a guide who was very knowledgeable; however he touched nesting baby Nightjars on the ground which is not only ILLEGAL in Costa Rica but extremely distressing for the bird who wasn't even old enough to fly away. We did not ask him to do this nor encourage it in any way. This was really disappointing for us as nature lovers and shameful for a resort that has signs everywhere reminding people to respect the environment and nature. -1 star for that as I hope it isn't reflective of everyone who works there. The next day we did a bird watching tour with a different guide who was great and we saw a lot of interesting birds and animals. We then went on the hanging bridges without a guide and saw even more animals such as an anteater. Overall it was a really great experience soured a bit by those two negative experiences. "

"Staff was friendly and helpful through out (we left outside of regular hours so we missed the included breakfast). Room was clean and linens were good! Property is in need of renovation and upgrades, a bit run down. Our front door had a crack in it! But otherwise we were able to lock up with no issues. Would book again if this was the only available option. "

"Nice isolated place just to unwind yourself, rooms are clean and spacious, the view was spectacular staff are very friendly food was good at the restaurant. "

"Breakfast every morning was excellent. The staff was always very helpful and it’s a great location if you want to explore the beaches or Central Liberia."

"Great place to visit for a weekend. Well maintained and the on-site restaurants had great variety. The waterfalls/ hot springs and all of the adventure tours were the star of the show."

"Everything was great… the rooms, food, pool, property and the staff were so friendly and helpful. This is a beautiful resort… a hidden gem for sure"

"Booked the lodge for 2 nights and could have stayed 10, the host and his wife were absolutely wonderful. Cute little cabin surrounded by gardens and trees, bar fridge, fan, tv, wifi, and a nice bathroom stocked with clean towels. The very slight extra cost for breakfast is recommended and very tasty. When checking in we were given a paper with a map of the area, the host circled the free hot springs and other attractions. Very friendly to chat with. The lodge sits in front of the Miravalles Volcano. This is a great gem and worth the stay."

"Amazing view - very secluded and in nature - great breakfast. "

"This property is huge and beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice. Way better in person "
