Wonderful family run business! Delightful bungalows nestled in the rainforest — with lovely hammocks on the porch. Staff was great at accommodating traveler with limited mobility — picking us up in a golf-type cart for meals. Massage was so relaxing — and outdoors! Food was tasty, portions generous and staff attentive. Secluded for peace and quiet. Rain on the tin roof was mesmerizing!
Amazing stay, property felt like Costa should be. The staff made the experience wonderful and made you feel like family. Absolutely would recommend.

Service was exceptional. Love they grow/raise their own food. Self sustaining. Clean! Lots of birds to view. Maybe 30 min la furtuna but if you book through them, transportation included. Lovely place all around.
The service was fantastic, the rooms are beautiful and they thought of everything, right down to soft blankets to snuggle with in the hammocks. We loved the walking paths, the hot springs, the breakfast was fantastic, we loved our stay and would love to come back!
We had a lovely time! Our room was very nice, as were the pool and hot springs. We booked one of the tours through the hotel and loved it! The only downside was the restaurant, which had very limited options for vegetarians and slow service.
Beautiful resort. Pool was nice and hot springs are lovely. Really enjoyed the opportunity to explore paths on the property and see flora and fauna (we saw a sloth on the first day, toucans, parakeets, and much more). We stayed in the treehouse and it was a wonderful treat. Would stay again here.
It was our first time in Costa Rica and hotel Heliconias was a very good stay. It was perfect for the hot springs. It was very nice and the hotel rooms were like a treehouse. Service was good. The food was great. The traditional Costa Rican food, Gallo Pinto, is a must try.
The staff was incredible. I’ve never felt so welcomed and appreciated as a guest. The property is stunning with glorious views and the nature walk area was amazing.

We really like the resort grounds. They also help with delivering our luggage to the bungalow on the golf cart. The restaurant was a bit far. Also breakfast starts at 7 am which was really an inconvenience as many of our tours started early. We basically had to skip two breakfasts out of four. We tried to ask for sandwiches but the staff was not very helpful with that. There were also just 3 hot springs pools functioning. The swimming pool needs a bit of cleaning.
Our room was clean, beds were comfortably firm. The bathroom could have used a light fixture closer to the sink/mirror, as half your face was in shadow when shaving. The exterior light above the door did not work, making the entry a bit dark.
The food was exceptional at the restaurant. We ate dinner there twice, and were very happy with our meals (tomahawk steak, hamburger, and chicken cordon bleu). The piña colada was delicious.
The staff was very friendly, helpful, and eager to provide great service.
Absolutely stunning place. As a photographer, it was hard to get through my head that a place like this can exist, with so much wildlife and scenery, without being staged. It was real and natural.
Crossing the field to the restaurant, I was focused on a Parakeet up in the tree, then two Scarlet Macaws flew overhead and a Ringed Kingfisher showed up with a fish, just outside of the restaurant’s balcony! Can’t forget about the Howler Monkey that showed up also!
The food was amazing, farm to table. Each morning we saw workers bringing up fresh pineapple and plantains from their fields.
The staff was amazing!!
Sorry we were almost late to dinner every night 😂
Hope to be back soon!
Thank you, to everyone for making our stay so memorable. We had a fantastic time! Our night Walker Pedro was awesome, Alessandro was amazing at checking in, everyone was very sweet at the restaurant.
Thank you, for taking care of us Christmas eve, to all the staff that was working instead of spending time with their loved ones. Food was always fantastic here Farm to table and one can really taste it, You are all very special humans and we appreciate very much ❤️
Golfcart for definite help with check in/out luggage. Hot springs were good. Moonshine at the end of night walk was a great touch
A MUST experience. Staying in the treehouse is unique without giving up comfort, the surrounding area is lush and filled with wildlife, the restaurant serves good food. Doing the afternoon tour with Victor was great, especially his knowledge of plants, animals, birds and love of gardening for the restaurant.
We stayed in a family treehouse and it was fabulous. The staff is so kind. There was a sloth hanging out by reception. The hot springs are gorgeous. It is paradise
Amazing treehouse and staff. Our kids had an incredible time exploring. We saw toucans right on the property. The drive to the resort is scenic and we found it enjoyable, so much to see and great sodas and markets along the way.
