Top Upala Hotel Reviews

Rio Celeste Jungle Glamping

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best spot to experience nature. I really liked the concept of this jungle glamping. The domes were well maintained. The hosts were really accommodating. I will definitely recommend this place! 5 stars!"

Casitas Tenorio B&B

10/10 Excellent

"This place is magical! The owner/management treat you like family! One of our BEST trips to Costa Rica! Thank you Casitas Tenorio B&B! Pura Vida"

Santa Maria Volcano Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The meals were delicious, the room was always clean, a few dogs helped to make it feel like home. This family run ecolodge was perfect for a relaxing week. Rosa and Yoki had their chef prepare a wonderful little birthday celebration for me…how good is that!!"

Destino Hotel & Hot Spring

8/10 Good

"Suite deluxe propre, accueil chaleureuse, ambiance détente et excellente vue sur les montagnes/volcans. Resto de pizza/pâtes excellent. Plusieurs activités sur place incluse !!"

Blue River Resort & Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about the property lush, tropical, sounds of birds and animals. Just what everyone needs to relax."

Malekus Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely magical. Pictures do not do Malekus Mountain Lodge justice - it's truly so special and lovely, a work of art not just a place to stay. Roger and Rosey were kind, attentive hosts. The location was beautiful. We had wonderful breakfasts on site and a fantastic dinner just 600 meters away. With only 7 rooms and an intimate feel, this would be a perfect place for a family reunion, small destination wedding, or friends trip. Do know going in that the rooms are small and intimate, and there is no air-conditioning. However, the climate was temperate and the rooms and lodge are well-suited and comfortable. We loved everything about our stay - except for that we didn't get to stay longer! Already hoping to come again!!"

Thermomania

8/10 Good

"Un lugar amplio para disfrutar de diferentes piscinas "

Vida Aventura Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! Jorge made sure we had a pleasant stay and the staff was really nice. The unit we had was basic but clean, of a good size and well equipped. The breakfast was excellent (you can choose from 3 options) and we also had dinner there twice (there is nothing around), which was also good and well priced. We enjoyed the walking trails. It was a very relaxing stay. Note that the road to get to the ranch is bad so you need a 4x4. Even though it was remote, it was a great base to visit Rincon de la Vieja. We are very happy with our stay overall."

Finca Amistad Cacao Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, great food, great chocolate, great staff. A MUST!!!! Great first night in Costa Rica, they really made it memorable. Definitely will be back."
