Top El Achiote Hotel Reviews

Finca Amistad Cacao Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"A hidden gem in guanacaste province! By far my favorite place, from the warm welcome, to the well-thought out layout of our cabin, to the excellent service all around! The place is clean, safe, well maintained, easy to navigate even for our young kids, who felt right at home. Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a chocolate drink and a tasting of various locally crafted cacao products. The breakfast, traditional costa rican, is made fresh every morning, with coffee/tea/hot chocolate included! Dinner in 2026 is 18 USD per adult and 12 USD per child. Well worth it even if it's slightly pricier than local sodas: it's a genuine farm-to-table experience, includes a fresh fruit juice and dessert. We did the included cacao tour (and learned so much!) as well as the paid chocolate workshop (so much fun, and you get to take home 3 tablets of personalized chocolate per person! In 2026, it was 120 USD for our family of four). And what to say about the staff! Friendly, kind, and super patient with the children :) The included spa is gorgeous; we felt like we were right in paradise on earth! Yoga mats, hot bath, cold bath, showers, all in the middle of a gorgeous tropical setting! An ecologically friendly place; they recycle, they promote responsable handling of nature, and, the cacao farm is sustainably managed and organic!"

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!"

Casitas Tenorio B&B

10/10 Excellent

"This place is magical! The owner/management treat you like family! One of our BEST trips to Costa Rica! Thank you Casitas Tenorio B&B! Pura Vida"

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 !!"

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 "

Lucky Bug B & B

10/10 Excellent

"The gardens are incredible and the many humming birds were a joy. I have been in many art galleries with local art. This is one of the better galleries created from many talented artists."

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!"
