Electrical issues forced us to transfer to another local, unaffiliated property...which was not at the level of comfort and amenities we expected or had paid for. That said, the hotel went out of its way to correct the issue, first by upgrading our rooms, then reaching a mutually agreeable price correction. All in all, a great stay! Thank you Reynaldo and the entire Tifakara team! ##### Lawrence Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Soyoon Dec 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities We had an incredible stay at Tifakara! We would love to return the next time we visit Costa Rica. The property was far more beautiful, spotless, and magical than we expected, and every part of the experience exceeded our expectations. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and their service made our stay even more memorable. Special thanks to Kevin, who helped us with check-in, for being exceptionally professional and kind. And to Antonio, who took care of us at the restaurant, for being incredibly kind and attentive, and for providing truly exceptional service.

The nature, scenery, animals (birds, frogs, other creatures like coati...) it's a paradise. Extremely friendly staff , they learn their guests name and call them greet them warmly by their names. Restaurant food is great snd toothsome, the housekeeping is excellent. Everyday they model the towels in different shapes, like cats, elephants,..!! Staying at this hotel is going to be one of the most memorable stays for you. The location is also close to a beautiful volcano and waterfall. Thank you esther, hansel, kevin, kristel, jay snd all other i don't know their names. You are amazing. God bless you ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/72345519-a5b0-40d2-84ba-3a39fbce789d-1764528302654.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a78185be-53c8-45ea-9d39-3ee01e4e5ba2-1764528306122.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/08b9f2b3-564c-4072-a07e-fd2ec535a8a9-1764528303664.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/49d3a4bb-276a-4135-956e-6b25cf66f41d-1764528304550.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### arezoo Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Jun 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing place.

The staff were very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. The rooms were spacious, a/c worked well, every thing about the rooms were fantastic. The pool was small. However the frog tour and bird watching (even if you’re not an enthusiast) is amazing. Lucy was a great tour guide. ##### Farrah Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025
