Top Upala Hotel Reviews

Rio Celeste Jungle Glamping

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best spot to experience nature. I really liked the concept of this jungle glamping. The domes were well maintained. The hosts were really accommodating. I will definitely recommend this place! 5 stars!"

Simply the best, incredible views, pool, breakfast and a friend in the area!

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve stayed at many properties, but Patrick is undoubtedly the best host we’ve ever had. Hospitable, knowledgeable, responsive, friendly. The property was perfect for our party of 5. We did breakfast 2 days, which was great. And the toucan off the porch MADE the visit. Tons of birds around. Lovely stay!"

Destino Hotel & Hot Spring

8/10 Good

"Suite deluxe propre, accueil chaleureuse, ambiance détente et excellente vue sur les montagnes/volcans. Resto de pizza/pâtes excellent. Plusieurs activités sur place incluse !!"

Blue River Resort & Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about the property lush, tropical, sounds of birds and animals. Just what everyone needs to relax."

Malekus Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely magical. Pictures do not do Malekus Mountain Lodge justice - it's truly so special and lovely, a work of art not just a place to stay. Roger and Rosey were kind, attentive hosts. The location was beautiful. We had wonderful breakfasts on site and a fantastic dinner just 600 meters away. With only 7 rooms and an intimate feel, this would be a perfect place for a family reunion, small destination wedding, or friends trip. Do know going in that the rooms are small and intimate, and there is no air-conditioning. However, the climate was temperate and the rooms and lodge are well-suited and comfortable. We loved everything about our stay - except for that we didn't get to stay longer! Already hoping to come again!!"

Thermomania

8/10 Good

"Un lugar amplio para disfrutar de diferentes piscinas "

Vida Aventura Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! Jorge made sure we had a pleasant stay and the staff was really nice. The unit we had was basic but clean, of a good size and well equipped. The breakfast was excellent (you can choose from 3 options) and we also had dinner there twice (there is nothing around), which was also good and well priced. We enjoyed the walking trails. It was a very relaxing stay. Note that the road to get to the ranch is bad so you need a 4x4. Even though it was remote, it was a great base to visit Rincon de la Vieja. We are very happy with our stay overall."

Finca Amistad Cacao Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, great food, great chocolate, great staff. A MUST!!!! Great first night in Costa Rica, they really made it memorable. Definitely will be back."

Lake Arenal Hotel, Brewery & Farm

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had a great stay here! JP and his associates welcomed us and made us feel at home. Complimentary breakfast was great and the other meals were delicious. The room itself was great given you are in the jungle, so there was no a/c and typical sugar ants but nothing unexpected. The pool and the views were gorgeous. The hot tub was down while we were there but it wasn’t missed. We took advantage of the Lake Tour and La Tia’s massage services which were both worth the money. We traveled to La Fortuna and used a shuttle service that picked us up right from the hotel. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!"
