I loved the family who own and run Los Gallitos. They are so genuinely friendly -- it made our stay. We tried to stay two nights, and wish we had. The pool was lovely, and the location is perfect for exploring the area around the waterfalls in the mountains.
10/10, hidden gem. Family-owned and operated. Jorge and his parents were a delight. Quiet, beautiful, safe, tons of incredible birds and great views. Pool was a highlight for the kids. Relaxing stay with a delicious breakfast, fresh and full of local flavor. Our only regret was not staying longer!

Jorge and family are very gracious hosts. I booked this place partly because I wanted to support family run business. As expected: the lodges are rather rustic: good plumbing - meaning toilet flushed fine, and shower runs, albeit I couldn't figure out how to get hot water out. The knowledge that Jorge and Herman transferred to me made the stay enjoyable: on toucons, on fungi, on bees.
We wonderfully relaxed in this ecolodge. The surroundings are beautiful. You overlook the mountains and from the swimming pool you can see the toucans flying over. Jorge is a super friendly host who is happy to tell you about life in Costa Rica and gives good tips about activities in the area. You can enjoy a delicious meal in the family's restaurant in the village. Thanks for the hospitality Jorge and family!
We felt in love with this place. Jorge the son of the house is very helpful and he likes to share with his guests, he is an excellent English speaker. We enjoyed the pool (natural spring water) and the view. The breakfast is very traditional and good quality. We thanks to whole family for this experience.
We also had the occasion to have diner at the restaurant runned by the daughter of the family. The meat is home smoked.

WARNING NO AC - It’s really hot
Everyone was nice, and the grounds were decent. The only problem is that it was 85 F and super humid.
For $100/night this was very expensive for the value for Costa Rica.
Suppose in some near death experience you received a glimpse of heaven. Do you think you would post the next day "5 stars, highly recommend" or would you spend some time trying to gather your thoughts and tell people just how wonderful it was? Well, maybe Los Gallitos & Eco Lodge is just short of heaven because I found myself praying to the Lord that He make my heaven similar to my experience there. The views are amazing and the sounds are sweet to your ears. A chorus of birds will sing you to sleep in this tiny paradise. Does this sound unbelievable? Don't take my word for it, stay here and experience it yourself. Just don't turn this place in the hottest tourist attraction in Costa Rica, because I plan on going back again! On top of the views, the sounds, and the comfort, Jorge and his family were AMAZING. If you have ever watched the Hallmark Channel you have seen those perfect families and wondered do they really exist. I am here to say they do. I just hope they realize how blessed they are. They are the family I never had and wished I did. I may just have to return to my new home away from home around the holidays :)

Preislich angemessen, einfach
sehr freundlich, super Lage, tolle Aussicht, gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis . Hütten brauchen eine Renovierung.
Einfache Holzappartements, alles wichtige ist vorhanden, Jorge ist Vogel-und Pflanzenkenner und er informiert gerne, Anfahrt auf Google Map ist ungenau, besser im Restaurant Los Gallitos erkundigen.
Magnifique cadre, nous avions un grand bungalow avec un lit immense. Le jardin et la vue sont splendides et la famille qui tient l'établissement est très accueillante.
Sehr herzlicher Empfang. José hat sich sehr viel Zeit für uns genommen, stolz seinen Garten gezeigt, frische Früchte kosten lassen - alles mit einem sehr freundlichen Lächeln. Er stellt ausführliche Infos zur Verfügung ohne einen zu irgend etwas zu drängen, wie man es andernorts in Costa Rica erlebt. Sehr schöne, gepflegte Außenanlage. Eher rustikale Häuschen und ein tolles, stilvolles Hauptgebäude mit einer wunderbaren Terrasse fürs Frühstück. Sehr angenehme familiäre Atmosphäre. Absolut empfehlenswert!
