Relaxing and beautiful

We loved this place, it was an easy walking distance to the beach and restaurants in town but just far enough away that it felt like a mini magical eco resort with a great pool and amazing on-site café, bar and restaurant (with some of the most delicious & healthy food we have had in a while). The host is just lovely - highly recommend it!

Beautiful place. Clean, green and quiet. A little oasis. We stayed in one of the tents and we loved it. People working there are lovely. Very safe area with several nice beaches close enough to walk. Penca beach is about 15 min walking distance from the property. Lots of little restaurants around with good food. Great sushi at Doki, inside the Libelula. Loved the place , we hope to return one day. Esteban and Juan, you guys are great, we enjoyed every moment with you!

Libelula Lounge & Lodgings was by far our favourite stop while travelling in Costa Rica. Super safe compound and Dawn was so lovely. It's the most beautiful little oasis within walking distance to all the restaurants and bars. Was so relaxing with a delicious included breakfast each morning. Highly recommend this place if you are passing through the area, you won't be disappointed!!

An amazing place to stay

This was the last place I stayed in a 17 day trip, and easily the best. I stayed in a tent which was not only extremely comfortable, but very unique. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and went out of their way t ensure a comfortable stay. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Try the glamping at this great little oasis

I stayed here strictly for the uniqueness of the glamping options. I did think it would be closer to the beach front but if that's not a deal breaker you can drive in 2 mins walk in 10 tops. With that said Libelula was probably the most comfortable bed I slept in, in my entire time in CR. The staff was great, the parking and hotel were very secure and outside of some car noise a block away was very peaceful. A little oasis in the middle of Potrero. Restaurant is closed on Sunday but looked great. If you're looking for something different the glamping is great!

This place was amazing!!! Just beautiful! The owners put in the extra details to make this unique. They even make their own soaps, shampoos etc. The tents are so spacious and each have an amazing outdoor shower. Jade and Jimmy were absolutely delightful. They were so helpful and truly made us feel special.

Beautiful botanical theme hotel.

This is a very special raw botanical property with fancy tents and apartments surrounded by lots of trees and flowers. In the morning you wake up with the sound of the animals, birds, monkeys, frogs, etc. The tents are huge with a king bed and 2 twin sofa beds, with mosquito nets to protect you. The bathroom is behind the tent, attached to it, very modern built in concrete and wood. There is also a very pleasant balcony in front of the tent with cute chairs to seat and enjoy the nature around. There is a nice swimming pool by the bar where you have breakfast in the morning and other meals that are cooked to order. The staff is very friendly and helpfull, and they leave special treats at your room to please you. The only negative side of it is that the tents get really warm during the day because they don’t have A/C, only a fan, but other than that we had a great time.

Wonderful wonderful stay

Libelula Lounge, is definitely a beautiful place to stay while visiting Guanacaste. The friendliest staff and owner are amazing. They make all the food from scratch and it’s pretty much farm to table food concept. The vegetable pasta and tuna tartare are a must! Wonderful food and great staff made this experience even worth coming back. Thank you Libelula Lounge.
