Gianni and his team of staff are so friendly. Amazing helpful and nothing was too much trouble, even providing us a packed lunch for one of our tours. Breakfast and evening were delicious. A mini oasis of quiet & calm.

I travel a lot and spend a long time away from home, so cleanliness, comfort, and beauty around me are very important. I found all of this at La Tigra Mountain House. The beds are wide, the mattresses are comfortable. The hostess of the house is very attentive and caring. And I would like to highlight the view separately. It's fantastic!!! The Platanar and Porvenir volcanoes are visible as if in the palm of your hand. Sunrises, clouds running at eye level, and hovering birds attract and compel you to stop and enjoy life. In the morning, I tried to exercise, but it smoothly transitioned into meditation... As they say, it's better to see once than hear a hundred times!! Come and see for yourself. I recommend it...

Very calm location in the middle of the rainforest, can't be more relaxing! It was so amazing to fall asleep and wake up to the sounds of frogs, birds etc... They were very attentive to my honeymoon request. The whole hotel is sustainable, the hot water from the shower is provided by solar panels. The food is very good and the prices are very reasonable. According to the occupancy it might be necessary to book a table in advance, especially at diner time. They helped us booking full day hikes as well and gave us breakfast to take with us. They provided us flashlights for us to go back to our room in case it's already dark. We used the laundry service as well the day before our check-out and it was ready on time for us to leave.

The property was really nice and close to the Tenorio and Arenal park. Perfect stay outside the city, in the nature, but close to the main towns and attractions.

Location was great, close to everything that I had booked. Very good communication, quick replies. The manager/owner went out of his way to come by the property with a card reader for payment. He then suggested a few options for excursions.

The loveliest host and most knowledgeable about the nature and wildlife in the surrounding jungle. We had a very comfortable, clean and spacious room overlooking the wilderness with plenty of birds flying by. If you're looking for an off-grid adventure to learn more about nature, then this is the place for you. Will definitely come back next time 😊

This 2-bedroom house was absolutely perfect for our family with two kids! We give it a perfect 10 out of 10. The host was incredibly friendly, the house was spotlessly clean, everything was in excellent condition, and it was fully equipped with everything we needed. Our son enjoyed the pool whenever he could. We had a wonderful stay and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone!

What we liked the most is the privacy of the place. This place has everything you need for a relax time with your couple, family or friends. The swimming pool is super nice and clean. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare food,even with a blender. The owner was super attentive and kind, we really appreciate that.

    excellent, quiet location, beautiful gardens and property. Villas were spacious, maximised the rainforest feel with large windows in the bedrooms. Giovanni was a superb host, his breakfasts were amazing next to the pool, his warm welcome was appreciated. He helped book many activities (canopy, thermal hot springs, mistico hanging bridges, cacao farm tour). could not recommend more! stay here and support this small business!
