Ronny and his staff were so kind and accommodating and made this stay absolutely worth it. We were welcomed with a cocktail and had a custom ordered tasty breakfast every morning. The room itself is small (and no door to the bathroom) but it is all you really need. The secluded rooftop patio was our favorite place to be during sunsets. The restaurant is bustling but the noise dies down early in the night. The property is on top of a hill (car required) and is about a 10 minute drive to everything. Thank you for hosting us!

9.4/10 Exceptional! (600 reviews)
This stay was incredible. From our balcony, we watched spider monkeys, capuchins, toucans and humming birds. The rooms were comfortable with air conditioning, and Veronika made us excellent towel animals every day! We were made to feel very special on our honeymoon. Breakfast was exceptional, with great service from Antonio. Dinner was equally great quality, and affordable! We enjoyed cocktails by the pool throughout our stay. We were able to get an Uber on a Monday night into La Fortuna with a very short wait, and an uber back was easy too - each ride cost around £3/$4. I’d highly recommend Ti-Fakara lodge. It was a really special place, right next to incredible nature and wildlife, with attentive and genuine staff. We loved our stay!
