It was absolutely perfect! I can’t wait to stay here again the next time I’m in La Fortuna. From the friendly staff and spotless rooms to the surrounding rainforest, everything felt so comfortable and welcoming. The food was incredible, and the nightly live artist at the restaurant was such a lovely bonus.

We were here for nearly two weeks, which is a bit longer than the average people tend to stay in one place in Costa Rica. We were made to feel right at home. I can't praise the staff highly enough, particularly the restaurant staff. They really go out of their way to get to know you and make you feel welcome. The place itself is pretty close to La Fortuna, but it feels isolated and quiet. There isn't a gym or spa on site, but there's plenty to do anyway. We got one of the rooms with a hot tub, which was great to have after so many long days of hiking. There's also a cool little walking trail on the property that has sloths in it, but we didn't manage to see one during our stay. There's a good restaurant on site, but it takes about 20-30 minutes to walk into town for more options. The road is very dark at night, though, so I'd recommend driving if you have your own car. We did have an issue with our hot water supply towards the end of our stay, but it was dealt with promptly. There was also a fair amount of construction going on, which wasn't a huge problem considering we were gone during most days. Can't hold anything against the hotel. All in all, it was great value for money and a wonderful place to use as a base for our trip. We would definitely consider staying again.

Where do I even start!? The staff, hands down, make this place a gem. Lucy greeted us and welcomed us with a warm smile and very kind demeanor. Arlen delivered room service in the pouring rain on our first night after a super long travel day. They are expanding and improving the property so there was a little construction and temporary fixes in place while the property was being improved and it didn’t bother us one bit. The location is phenomenal, easy access to everything. The grounds are immaculately kept. Plenty of places to lounge around. It’s also very private and romantic. I have not one bad thing to say about Noah’s Forest. With so many places to stay, I’m glad we chose to stay here and would stay there again on future visits. Lucy, Arlen, ChiChi, Eric, Kevin and the rest of the team go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. Thank you for making this trip unforgettable! Pura Vida!!
Kevin took us on a night tour. He is full of in depth knowledge of the local wildlife.

We loved our stay at Noah’s Forest. The property is beautiful. The food and employees at the restaurant were great and they had the most amazing orange ginger ice cream. We sat outside on our patio and listened to the noise of the forest every morning and every evening. The entire staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful. They helped us with everywhere we wanted to go. We would highly recommend Noah’s Forest and we will definitely be staying there next year when we go back to the Arenal area.
