Top El Achiote Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in El Achiote

Rio Celeste Jungle Glamping

10/10 Excellent

"What an awesome place! We were looking for a jungle setting off the beaten path. We were only there one night before heading to the beach and it was awesome! The dome was super cool (and provided some entertaining acoustics that sparked some fun) and the view was amazing. A very cool fog rolled in followed by a good rain storm which emphasized the jungle feel! Extremely friendly hosts and just a fun overall experience. 10/10"

Malekus Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely magical. Pictures do not do Malekus Mountain Lodge justice - it's truly so special and lovely, a work of art not just a place to stay. Roger and Rosey were kind, attentive hosts. The location was beautiful. We had wonderful breakfasts on site and a fantastic dinner just 600 meters away. With only 7 rooms and an intimate feel, this would be a perfect place for a family reunion, small destination wedding, or friends trip. Do know going in that the rooms are small and intimate, and there is no air-conditioning. However, the climate was temperate and the rooms and lodge are well-suited and comfortable. We loved everything about our stay - except for that we didn't get to stay longer! Already hoping to come again!!"

Bungalows Paraíso Celeste

8/10 Good

"The view was great and the breakfast was awesome. The only issue was that the Dutch front door let in a lot of insects. Overall a great value."

Hotel Finca L’Étoile Celeste

10/10 Excellent

"Le personnel a été très agréable et prévenant. Le restaurant était parfait avec une carte à la fois internationale et locale pour tous les goûts. Excellente cuisine et service. Toujours avec le sourire. Je recommande le site."

On Lake Arenal - Near La Fortuna - New Pool and Deck August 2024 - Bird Watching

10/10 Excellent

"The property was absolutely lovely. Very clean throughout, very spacious but still cosy, was easy to find and the views outside were just incredible. It’s also a great location for having a variety of great sightseeing and dining options to drive to, with some of the restaurants even within walking distance. If staying here, you have to do the short drive to Casa Italia for dinner - best Italian food we’ve ever had. Highly recommend!"

Agutipaca B&B

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at this property, we were shown around by Angie who seemed to be the animal whisperer. Wherever we went we saw all sorts of animals, monkeys, sloths, toucans, humming birds and so many more. It’s a beautiful paradise and we loved every minute we had here. We were sad to have to move on when we did. Thankyou so much for looking after us so well."

Simply the best, incredible views, pool, breakfast and a friend in the area!

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and great host! We wanted to experience living in the middle of a rain forest and that's exactly what we got. The house is situated with a view of lake Arenal. Cicadas constant hum, winds, and the micro weather changes gave us a unique experience. Host Patrick, Elisa and their staff were kind and accommodating. Every morning, we were greeted with great coffee, tropical smoothie, and an array of delicious breakfast spread that gave us the energy to do all the stuff we wanted to do rest of the day. House is big enough for a large family or multiple families. Has a grande pool house with a lot of amenities. Patrick made reservations for our activities and helped us with our plans based on our interests."

"Un lugar amplio para disfrutar de diferentes piscinas "

Destino Hotel & Hot Spring

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic time! Orlando (the owner), his family, and all of the staff were so kind and welcoming! We really enjoyed the thermal longevity circuit, plus we went tubing down the river which was a blast too! On day 2 we did the cultural coffee, chocolate, tortilla demonstration and we also went on a short hike through the trail where Orlando helped us spot a sloth! We had the pizza at the resort the first night, so then we wanted to try out some authentic Costa Rican and he was able to give us a fantastic recommendation for dinner, plus even spoke with the owner of the restaurant to let him know we were headed his way! Overall, all amazing experience, I could go on forever about how much we enjoyed ourselves, highly highly recommend!"
