Very good experience with everything. Staff were helpful and friendly. The bungalows are large and very unique. Close enough to the city but far enough away to feel safe. Great location next to the jungle and the river walk. The Howler monkeys woke us up early each morning but that was part of the whole experience. Very good food at the onsite restaurant as well. We would definitely stay there again.

When we travel, we’re usually not in our hotel room very much. That said, this property is beautiful and the staff makes you feel at home and cared for. We’re a family of three traveling with an 18-month old, and a little kindness goes a long way. For example, we had a room key break off in the lock and the staff resolved it within 20 minutes and then called for some additional maintenance just because they noticed, not because we asked. It’s not a huge thing, but it helps! Otherwise, the place is conveniently located for accessing nearby sites (Arenal and Fortuna Falls, especially). The food in the attached restaurant is good, but maybe a little more expensive than similar options nearby. You pay for convenience. All in all, we really enjoyed our time at Rancho Cerro Azul.

Such a great accommodation! We booked the superior cabin. Very peaceful cabin with a large verandah that looks on into the jungle. Room is is huge and has a fridge and sink. The king bed is comfortable, super clean. Enough room to do my yoga! Great parking. Would highly recommend for a genuine Costa Rican stay.

Beautiful grounds, walking paths and lots of privacy between each villa. The staff was helpful and kind. Walking along the river in the mornings was a splendid treat and very relaxing. We walked to town, dining and waterfalls for swimming. The food and drinks on site were very good and reasonably priced. Cannot wait to go back!!!

Lovely patio

The room is dated but clean. The outdoor patio is amazing! We heard howler monkeys in the morning from our deck. Unfortunately we stayed only one night and didn’t have time to use the hot tub. I would recommend staying multiple nights to enjoy that outdoor space!
