We loved the freedom to explore the rainforest right outside our door. We saw a wide variety of wildlife: howler monkeys, iguanas, motmots, tree frogs, hummingbirds.... Tirimbina also offers many different tours. We went on a night walk and our guide, Walter, was knowledgeable and very friendly. Overall we loved our time at Tirimbina.

Eco-friendly and educational environment.

I stayed here for a night during my Costa Rica trip. The eco lodge is eco-friendly, the staff was really nice. The peark of staying at the Tirimbina lodge is that you do not have to pay an extra fee for the hikes through the reserve. The place is nice and clean, you are surrounded by nature and that is why I went there. I did the night guided tour and it was thrilling to cross the bridge at night. If you go there, that is a must !

Chambre très correcte et propre, grand lit confortable et agréable terrasse donnant sur un petit jardin où viennent les oiseaux et bel environnement .Petit déjeuner très complet. Gros avantage, l'accès à la réserve est inclus et illimité. Seul problème la mauvaise insonorisation des chambres, on entend les cousins comme si ils étaient avec nous.

Séjour un peu décevant par rapport à nos attentes

Chambre de luxe avec une petite terrasse sur le micro-jardin, pas très agréable. Un peu déçue également par la réserve où nous n’avons pas vu beaucoup d’animaux (juste serpents et singes hurleurs). Restaurant correct

Décevant

Le niveau de l'hôtel est très moyen pour le prix demandé. La literie n'est pas au niveau, on se lève avec mal au dos. Notre climatisation s'éteint spontanément. La terrasse des doubles donne sur un poste électrique. Il y a un bruit quasi constant de pompe ou de moteur qui bien de dehors. Le petit déjeuner est moyen avec un jus d'orange synthétique trop sucré. Pas de pâtisserie ou de viennoiserie. Enfin pour finir sur le négatif, plusieurs sentiers sont fermés sans qu'on en soit prévenus et sans que le prix demandé change. Cela dit le personnel est charmant dans l'ensemble.

Super Lodge avec possibilité d'accéder a la foret et aux ponts supendus, chambres bien équipées et connectées a la nature. Petit dejeuner correct et varié tant qu'on s'y présente bien avant la fin. Nous avons fait un tour de nuit avec un guide et il etait de qualité! Le lodge est a proximité de plusieurs prestataires pour faire des activités autour de la riviere de Sarapiqui

Et middelmådigt hotel med fine vandreture

Et absolut middelmådig hotel med gamle værelser som mangler vedligeholdelse og en opgradering af aircondition mv. Værelserne var klamme og fugtige. Restauranten er granske udmærket til morgenmad og aftensmad. Gåturen over hængebro og via forskellige stier var rigtig godt.

All of the employees were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and close to everything you need. The breakfast included with the room was a great way to start every morning and the food was very good. Additionally, it's great to have the park entrance right at the back of the motel. Once you have breakfast you can head out onto the suspension bridge and hike several of the trails. The place is very, very clean everywhere. I would recommend this place very much.

trails and wildlife

This is a great place for people who live to walk trails and view wildlife. Staff were nice. There’s a safe in the room. It was quiet at night. The only complaint I have was some mold in the ceiling. It didn’t look healthy. There were other rooms without mold that I’d stay in next time. Staff were nice about offering for me to move.
