Tirimbina Rainforest Lodge

Staying here gives you access to the Tirimbina Reserve, and you see lots of birds, frogs, etc from your room. The rooms are nicely furnished, although no real option for sitting comfortably. Beds are comfortable, with nice linens. And they have AIR CONDITIONING, which is a must in this humid and warm location. Bath is small but has a nice shower. The towels are not exceptionally large, but definitely quite nice. And they provide soap, shampoo and conditioner. There's a safe in the room, as well as a coffee maker with supplies, but no fridge. Some rooms have a TV, but ours did not. Didn't matter -- we didn't come for tv time. Staff are very friendly, speak English. They can help with guided tours of the reserve -- including private tours. Great gift shop! Nice bar and decent restaurant on site.

Stayed here for two nights. We did the bird watching tour with Alberto m roiz which was fantastic. Also did the night tour and the bat program which were also really good. Food was tasty and varied and evening meal a la carte which was delicious. Rooms were perfect for the stay and included a nice patio area. As you turn right out of the car park is a lovely soda restaurant, only short walk from the hotel.

Perfect location, although the signage from the road is poor and difficult to find. The rooms are basic but clean although a few millipedes were also lodging with us. There is small communal garden at the back of the lodges which is lovely to sit and watch the hummingbirds and poisonous frogs. The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant food is basic but tasty and reasonably priced. There are three or four hiking routes to try over the hanging bridge. Wildlife is abundant. You don’t need an alarm clock as the howler monkeys will wake you.

We only had one night in Tirimbina Lodge but made the best of the late afternoon and following morning we spent here. Our deluxe room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The prices in the restaurant were very reasonable and we enjoyed a good dinner here as well as spending time with drinks at the bar - once again, lovely staff. We misunderstood the table numbers, thinking they indicated room numbers and when we asked, were told we could reserve a table to sit anywhere. A sign with our names appeared on the table we chose and we were able to sit at the same table for breakfast. We really enjoyed walking the trails and could have spent hours standing on the phenomenal suspension bridge, watching the river and wild life. If, like us, you only have one night, we would suggest getting up to walk one of the trails before breakfast and then going back to walk the remaining ones. It is truly a wonderful place, quiet and untouristy.

We were on a special Dreamcatchers tour of Costa Rica and spent two nights at this wonderful location. The staff were attentive, pleasant and responsive. Our first room had a pluming issue, we were given a different room after they determined it needed more time to fix the problem. The food was good and the location excellent as you are in a portion of the rainforest that we saw many birds, and wild life. The coffee demonstration was entertaining and informative. The walk on the suspension bridge was thrilling.
