I had a great time at la selva and loved the guided tour in the morning, we saw a lot of animals and the guide was very knowledgeable. The facilities are basic but provide all the necessities, it’s amazing to be completely immersed in the forest.

Large rambling hotel with individual or joined garden rooms in beautiful gardens full of wildlife including 2 secluded swimming pools and walks. Lovely staff and good food. The almost-cinematic view of foliage and incredible variety of birds (and frogs at night) from the dining area is really special.

Gran Gavilán del Sarapiquí Lodge, hotel in Sarapiquí

With La Selva Biological Station reachable in 2.6 km, Gran Gavilán del Sarapiquí Lodge offers accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace.

We loved everything about this place. ALL of the staff were so kind and friendly from the cook whose food was delicious, to Maita on front desk who lent us flash lights to find owls and made us great fresh juices, to the gardeners who found sloths for us to look at! The free breakfast was good, I saw someone criticising it in the reviews but for free we had fresh fruit, rice and beans, egg, toast, jam and butter/cream cheese with a coffee. You could pay for more but that was more than enough. The lodge itself was excellent. The rooms were nice and colourful and comfortable, including chairs outside - perfect for birdwatching from. The grounds were so well kept and included plenty of walking trails and a private beach right out to the river where you can see different birds and monkeys. We also did a boat tour that Maita booked for us with oasis and it was very good for herons, kingfishers, wood rails (and we saw a crocodile and caiman too). There's also a pool which was the perfect temperature and good for watching birds from. We saw a lot of birds we hadn't seen at la selva and it was very easy to see them around the gardens. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again. Beautiful place.

    The grounds were very nice with lots of birds, the room was clean but basic with good Air Con, it could do with re decorating and the bed was a bit firm, the staff were very friendly and the breakfast was nice, we had one evening meal which was fine

    Sarapiqui is a busy town, the commercial hub for the local area. We really enjoyed an excellent river trip, the guide was knowledgable and entertaining. We stayed at nearby Selva Verde using our own Hire Car to get around, driving is easy enough although this is a major highway

    A stunning adventure with lots of memories.

    A stunning adventure with lots of memories. Woke up to howler monkeys chatting in the treetops above my cabin. Great hikes, beautiful views. Guides are super knowledgeable and enthusiastic to be there. Something that's extra great? The employees--the guides, the cooks, etc.--all seem genuinely happy. It's clear that they're well taken care of and appreciated!

    While there are many Adventure tours available, we opted for the birding activities. We took one guided tour at Tirimbina and one at La Selva. Both provided unique species and I highly recommend taking the extra time to also go to La Selva. Air Conditioning is highly recommended to help you stay comfortable after a day in the heat and humidity, which the region is known for.

    We visited Sarapiquí in 2010 and we wanted to return. What we have found (in a period of 10 years), has been a significant increase of tourism and the expansion of the urban areas in the town. Now, there are more people living in Sarapiquí.

    People were very friendly .

    People were very friendly . Not much English speaking but we got by. We got out into the country with locals and really had a good time. A jungle tour is a must as it is still a lot of raw areas left. Great bird watching. It is not as hot as the beach areas and roads and driving is quite nerve wracking at times.

    Amazing and immersive rainforest experience. The forest itself is the true star of the show. The diversity of wildlife is outstanding. It was so special to have the researchers for the guides (you get a free morning tour if you stay there and we paid for a night tour). We saw and learned so much. we stayed for two nights with full board and loved every moment. Its not a hotel and we really enjoyed that it was something different. We embraced it as a place for learning and enjoyed that everyone was there for the same reason.

    Everything was literally outside your front door. We did not have to go on the trails to find any of the animals. They were in the trees surrounding the property. The restaurant was reasonably priced (actually cheap for a hotel) and had something for everyone. The guides were nice and knowledgeable. the hotel staff friendly and helpful. The roofs are made of a material so you really hear the rain which I liked. In the morning you can open your curtains and look outside and you feel like you are in the rainforest because you are.

    This place was so beautiful! When we arrived they had fruit "cocktail" drinks for us that were delicious! (and free!)... The staff made us feel like celebrities. The place is gorgeous with Bambu walkways above the ground. You almost feel like you're in a tree house. The staff was super prompt and helpful. The free breakfast was freshly prepared and also delicious. We wished we had booked more nights here! This was only 20 minutes from the sarapiqui Outdoor Center where we had an amazing time rafting!

    A beautiful property with acres of jungle. We took a guided walk one morning on the property and saw lots of great birds as well as monkeys. The staff was extremely helpful. A very short drive to town to a great boat ride on the sarapiqui river. And just a few minute drive to La Selva Biological center for great birding.

    We booked this at the last minute as our plans changed. The hotel is pretty nice. we enjoyed spotting the camens down at the pond, seeing the frogs around the restaurant at night and the bird feeding station in the mornings. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

    Beautiful, peaceful location for animal, bird spotting or simply relaxing. Clean, but small pool and trails to walk. Really helpful receptionist, who went out of her way to take us to see a couple of sloths in the grounds. Really enjoyed our night at this hotel.
