    natural beauty
    wildlife experiences

    great spot to explore natural wonders and enjoy wildlife views

    During my stay, I loved that the hotel is just a short walk from the Sarapiqui River where I could enjoy beautiful views and take lovely strolls, and I was delighted to see howler monkeys from my room balcony for a memorable wildlife experience.

    soaking tub
    no tub plug

    The large soaking tub was a nice feature for relaxation.

    There was no plug for the tub, making it difficult to use properly.

    authentic experience
    local nature
    helpful staff
    bathroom maintenance
    hot water

    I had a lovely time at Hotel El Bambu. The staff were super friendly and helpful. My room felt like a cozy nest in the jungle, surrounded by nature. I woke up to the sounds of birds and monkeys each morning, which was magical. The long walkway through the rainforest added a unique touch to the experience. Angel, the naturalist, offered incredible tours that highlighted the local wildlife and left me in awe. The breakfast was decent but could use a bit more variety. The restaurant in the evening, however, served tasty local dishes that I enjoyed. My only complaint? The bathroom could have used a little more upkeep. Hot water was inconsistent, which was frustrating at times. Overall, it felt authentic and welcoming, perfect for families looking for adventure in nature.

    You’re surrounded by a gorgeous rainforest right outside your room! I loved watching colorful birds flutter while I lounged by the spacious outdoor pool. The delightful buffet breakfast was a real treat, fueling my adventure spirit for the day's tours!

    peaceful retreat
    friendly service
    diverse menu
    breathtaking mountain view
    inconvenient bath plug

    comfortable stay but some improvements needed

    The surroundings provided a peaceful retreat, enveloped by lush greenery which enhanced our stay. We appreciated the prompt and friendly service from the staff, making us feel welcomed throughout our visit. The restaurant's diverse menu offered some delightful meals, especially the fresh local dishes we enjoyed during our lunch. The mountain view from our room was breathtaking, creating a lovely backdrop during our stay.

    We found the absence of a spare plug for the bath quite inconvenient.

    lush nature
    spacious room
    delicious food
    sound transfer
    minor repairs needed

    This place was a delightful surprise, perfectly tucked away in nature but still close to local shops. The room was spacious, and falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle was a highlight. Everything was clean and the restaurant offered delicious food that we enjoyed each evening. It felt like a home away from home, and it's a huge plus that parking was secure.

    personalized tour
    friendly staff

    Great place for families!

    The nature here is amazing! The staff was super friendly, and they even arranged a personalized tour for us, showing us all sorts of wildlife that you just wouldn't see without a guide.

    It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but it was reasonable enough.

    clean facilities
    nice pool
    thin sheets

    Had a great time with friends! We explored the Mini Zoo and enjoyed the views at Jardin Yori. The place was clean and had a nice pool. Facilities were all well maintained, making our stay enjoyable.

    However, I did have trouble sleeping. The sheets were thin and the beds were hard, which made for an uncomfortable night.

    hard beds

    Beautiful grounds, but bed woes

    This place was super pretty, with nice walking paths and a cute pool. I loved the vibe! The staff were super friendly, and the food was decent. breakfast in the restaurant was a highlight. The one bummer was that the beds were really hard and the sheets felt too thin, making it tough to get comfy at night.
