    The hosts were super nice and knew a lot about the eco system in this area. Nohelia made us feel super welcome. Every morning the staff made us a self cooked breakfast which was delicious. On top of that, the surroundings of the ecolodge are super beautiful with gardens and rainforest. Nohelia created this eco lodge from the ground up and did an amazing job. We felt very inspired by Nohelia and her eco lodge. She also hosted a night tour during which she gave us a lot of information about the species living around the eco lodge. Highly recommend staying with her!!!

    The loveliest host and most knowledgeable about the nature and wildlife in the surrounding jungle. We had a very comfortable, clean and spacious room overlooking the wilderness with plenty of birds flying by. If you're looking for an off-grid adventure to learn more about nature, then this is the place for you. Will definitely come back next time 😊

    Absolutely nothing. Book here and you will not be disappointed at all !

    Absolutely SPECTACULAR! I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough - just book it as you will not be disappointed. The journey is a bit of effort to get along the entry road (definitely get a larger hire car!) but worth absolutely every second of effort. We were welcomed and had amazing food, watching a plethora of birds - saw red eye tree frogs in the evening, hummingbirds, the view from the look out over the rainforest will stay with me forever. Just book this eco lodge!

    Nohelia (host/owner) is very friendly and helpful. Wonderful (typical local) breakfast and diner. Beautiful garden, full of animals and with a nice viewpoint. Guided night walk is certainly something you should do. A bit remote (from the tourist hotspots), but definitely worth the detour!

    I guess the only thing was no window screens or AC in our room.

    In 8 places we stayed all over Costa Rica this was perhaps the best overall experience. The host/owner was probably the greatest component of that but the food was delicious, location beautiful, trails and wildlife were abundant and it felt safe. Our host was so knowledgeable and helpful. We learned so much. Definitely buy the optional dinner. The road is a bit bumpy but we made in a cheap econobox rental with zero ground clearance.

    We planned a roadtrip in Costa Rica, which means we only stayed for 1 night, which we deeply regret. The stuff, the location, food were amazing! We arrived just in time for the night tour at 6pm. After the 2 hours tour, we had delicious dinner and had a good night rest in our room (HUGE bed - says a European :D) We really loved what they made out of the space, it is pure paradise and you can connect with nature - I'd recommend at least 2 nights or leaving later in the day on the next day, so you can enjoy the trails on the farm. You need a 4x4 to get to the location.

    Our 3-nights stay at Cecropia Ecolodge was absolutely lovely. We wouldn't have dreamed of a better place. It's a little paradise, where we could relax and disconnect. The garden and forest are beautiful. The night tour is worth it. Being able to watch the lovely birds of Costa Rica (toucans, motmots, woodpecker...) while eating breakfast has no price ! Jay attended us in every way possible, he's really kind. Thank you for everything Jay, pura vida !

    Beautiful little place in the rainforest filled with love. Amazing trails to walk. Even though this is a rainforest, it is warm as the trees are the canopies protecting you. We were welcomed with coffee and fresh juice. Nohelia’s breakfasts and dinners are amazing, very creative, and absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the birds at breakfast including the toucans. Nohelia gave us excellent advice for where to go for hot bathes and also the hanging bridges. We enjoyed the night tour although missed Jay as he was away. Nohelia pours her love into this place and spends lots of time with her guests.

    Not spending more time there!

    The owner J was welcoming from the get go. He is very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna on the land. He and his wife (who was away when we were there) steward the land in such a beautiful way. Breakfast is served in a covered outside area where they put out fruits for the birds on branches. What a sight it is to watch their beauty so close to us. The room was quiet and spacious.

    Nothing at all

    We loved everything about our time here, such a special place, run by a very special couple who are passionate about the environment. Clearly they have worked hard for 10 years to restore the habitat and in doing so they've attracted mary species of birds and animals. This is a very special place. To add to our enjoyment their home cooked food was delicious. Highly recommend staying here if you enjoy the local environment , they have guided walks and this very much adds to the experience

    Soundproofing between adjoining lodges could be improved as our neighbour snored very loudly. Also on our last day, just as we were leaving the lady in the head scarf smacked the brown dog really hard which was distressing for the dog and for us. Not acceptable.

    Gorgeous location and gorgeous owners. We enjoyed the pretty touches, the tasty breakfasts and the nature trails. We saw loads of beautiful birds. Overall its a credit to the owners and we would recommend.

    Rooms were situated nicely and surrounded by fores. Bathrooms were clean but. could use a little modernization.

    Really liked the hospitality, the nature around it and the food. We felt very welcomed. The nightwalk was incredible and we saw as much in that night as we saw in all the other costa rican nightwalks combined. Also very nice to watch the birds right from the breakfast table. Amazing value for money.
