Lodging near Braulio Carrillo National Park, Costa Rica

"Absolutely stunning architecture. Beautiful property and attentive staff. "

"If you want to see birds and animals, this is the place to be. If you can get cabin #10, you have a great bird tree view."

"Nice location in the woods, but the hotel is a bit run-down."

"It’s lovely! The staff are so kind, friendly and helpful. The food is great in the restaurant. The rooms are lovey and clean and cosy. The resident peacocks are a bonus as one did his display for us shaking his tail and looking glorious! The hummingbird feeders outside the cabins is a nice touch. Thank you. "

"The Bible describes Goshen as a land or place of plenty and comfort (Genesis 45:10). Gideon, the coffee plantation and guest accommodation of Eduardo and his lovely wife, Betty, offers plenty and delivers comfort. Their jewel of a vacation get-away, located near the university town of Heredia and a short drive from Costa Rica’s capital of San Jose, offers its guests art. Architecture, fauna, flora, fine food and friendship. If you’re interested in art, Eduardo’s private collection along with his own paintings ( he’s quite an accomplished artist in his own right) will captivate the viewer. If you appreciate architecture, their main accommodation is a Mid-Century Modernism style building that offers a 360 degree panorama of the surrounding plantation and neighboring forest with their abundant plants and wild life.One can view various tropical birds coming and going while multi-colored, spotted lizards dart through their gardens. An occasional sloth might even be seen. The grounds are visual delight with many tropical flowers and fruit plants that Eduardo has cultivated. Not only are they feast for the eyes but for one’s stomach, as well, because Eduardo and Betty serve up many of the tropical fruits that are grown on their plantation. Betty is an excellent cook who prepares and presents full course meals that can only be described as the finest of fine dining. Their warmth and hospitality are unlimited and you will find yourself fast becoming friends with your hosts."

"Absolutely loved our stay. Staff was amazing and attentive. The grounds are open to people staying after the park closes so it was nice to explore. They offer animal interaction feeding for a reasonable price per the room regardless of number of people, which was great! Had free fishing on grounds which kids loved. Dinning was great. Enjoyed our stay. "

"Ken and Alejandra have built a mountain paradise. The accommodations are first rate and their grounds are amazing. The breakfasts are excellent with fresh grown and made foods. It is more of a bed and breakfast than a hotel. They are in the mountains north of San Jose. We had a rental car and no problems moving around. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend Finca Paraiso!"

"This is a beautiful ecolodge and very well managed by Pedro and his staff. Pedro goes out of his way to make your stay comfortable. Their food options are very creative and excellent especially since we were vegetarians. The place is remote and provides a true jungle experience while still having the basic amenities to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. They have well organized guided walks both at night and during the day, several of them covered within the reservation. "

"Very charming hotel and Norman was a wonderful host. Everyone in my party liked the included breakfast. The kids enjoyed walking/running around the fruit trees. "
