Noah's Forest is a lovely hotel tucked into a lush rainforest setting that hugs a little river at the edge of La Fortuna. We were traveling for a little Birthday get away and they had a birthday cake (made out of towels), balloon and birthday greeting card to greet us! We took a little walk (after checking in, having been given a wonderful cafecito with a homemade cookie) and saw two sloths in different areas of the hotel. The kind gardener Modesto set down his machete and showed us where the last sighting of a sloth was seen and sure enough, there she was with her little baby. The garden walkways are so beautiful. In the evening we enjoyed the free Night Frog tour with other guests of the hotel. We returned for an evening meal with live music- everything was lovely, food delicious. I had a sesame crusted tuna steak which was incredible. Exceptional breakfast served a la carte with a wonderful buffet of fresh fruit drinks, fresh fruit, coconuts in the shell with a straw, excellent coffee and homemade sour dough breads, croissants and homemade jams. The restaurant staff was amazing. Thank you to the great staff for your kindness and good service.

Everything was lovely, in fact, superseded our expectations. Thank you Noah's Forest for the lovely chineo.

Noah’s forest was excellent. It was the best property I have been to and I travel to luxury resorts around the world. I loved the small size and private villa/bungalows with private hot tubs surrounded by lush greenery and flowers. The staff treated you like family. There was a sloth on the property and the grounds crew had a telescope they would move throughout the day for our viewing. It was these small things that made the resort so special. It was absolute paradise. The food was excellent. The resort is only a mile from town so we were able to walk to town easy enough. Uber is common,easy,and fast.

No problems

My wife and I have stayed in 12 different hotels while driving around Costa Rica for the month and Noah's Forrest is definitely one or our favorites. The staff makes you feel like you're at home and will remember your name after 2 hours. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and very hard to believe it was free! The La Fortuna area wasn't our favorite area but if we ever came back we would absolutely stay at Noah's again. It was amazing 😍

I was pretty disappointed with how expensive the laundry service was.. we added our items up according to their price per item and for one load of laundry we would have paid over 120$ but luckily a local service did the same load for 35.

Noah’s Forest exceeded all expectations! . arrived here on the first stop of our honeymoon and could not have been more pleasantly surprised with the entire staff and grounds. The private hot tub, immaculate rooms, animal sightings, yummy restaurant, pool and vibes (especially at night) already made our stay 5 stars. But it was the staff who truly made the biggest the stay 10 stars! Allan who showed us all the animals (we witnessed a sloth and her baby right behind our room), Arlen who was a pure joy to be around and provided many unforgettable recommendations for our trip and Jay the best bartender with the greatest stories. The whole team felt like old friends and made the experience unforgettable. We cannot wait to come back and recommend this spot to all of our friends seeking their next Costa Rica trip✌️💕✨

We stayed 3 nights here whilst visiting the Arenal area. This place is magical! From the very moment we arrived, the team @ Noah's Forest were faultless. Their welcome & orientation was lovely with a welcome drink served to us by the amazing Arlen (who then looked after us impeccably whenever we were in the bar or restaurant). The accommodation is private, modern, stylish and the grounds as so well cared for. You feel like you are tucked away in your own little oasis in the rainforest. There are resident sloths in the grounds which the team identify and point out on a daily basis. The food is excellent and the team can't do enough to make sure your stay is enjoyable. We also had excellent care and attention at breakfast from Espevanza who made sure we were fully fuelled and ready for the day ahead. The pool area is lovely and there is a fire pit set in the grounds on the Sloth Trail, that is lit every evening for a few hours where you can enjoy a drink and immerse yourself in the Noah's Forest experience. We were so sad to leave Noah's Forest & cannot recommend this place enough. You won't regret choosing to stay here...

This really isn't a criticism, but my only critique was that the live music in the evenings in the restaurant was a tad loud. At times it was tricky to hear each other speak. The musicians were very talented and the music great

This was one of the nicest accommodations either of us have ever stayed. The grounds were beautiful, and we had plenty of privacy in our cottage. Every morning I sat out on the porch with my binoculars and watched a sloth who lives up in the trees. The groundskeeper took me around and pointed out where the other sloths and a huge snake live. The breakfast was great, and our one dinner the first night was also excellent. We'd definitely stay here again next time.

Our only real complaint was the lame music they play in the restaurant during breakfast and in the evening (when there isn't a live musician). We would rather have just been able to listen to the sounds of all the birds that live on the property.

Our stay with Noah's Forest was exceptional! We arrived from Liberia in the evening in the dark so when I went out the first morning the extraordinary beauty took my breath away! The grounds are incredible and lovingly cared for by Modesto, the gardener. Modesto is very warm and friendly and clearly loves his work. He delights in showing guests the sloths and other wildlife residing on the property. In our case he brought 2 rare and colourful frogs to show us - a real highlight. The staff, Allan, Camila and Anna went above and beyond the entire time we were visiting to make sure we were happy with everything. They were warm, helpful and genuine in all of our interactions. The tour of the property with Camila was lovely - she was knowledgeable and generous with information about not only the flora and fauna but also the history and the culture. We also attended a night tour at Noah's sister property owned by Tifakara and it was a real highlight. We saw awesome frogs and other creatures. I was so good that if we had more time we would have definitely have gone again, ( Both tours are complimentary for hotel guests) The restaurant at the resort is also excellent . Breakfast is included and offers many delicious choices. The servers were warm and attentive ( thank you Jay!) Dinner was excellent and there was high quality live entertainment. to make it even more pleasant. Overall our stay with Noah's exceeded our expectations. We were sad to leave and say goodby to the lovely staff. I hope we'll return one dayl

Our only complaint is that Noah's makes other places pale in comparison.

A little piece of paradise! Amazing value for the price you pay. We stayed here on our honeymoon and were absolutly astonished. Special thanks to the wonderful staff Anna, Allan, Charlie and Arlen, who made us feel at home and connected with us as meeting old friends. The whole place looks like from a movie. Restaurant serves delicious foods and has everynight live music (19-21) We were proposed 2 free tours, one during noon to watch birds and sloths and one in the evening (19:15) to watch frogs and snakes, we took the evening one and it was amazing. The pool area is wonderful and you can play pool and ping-pong. There were 4 sloths living in the gardens and you could watch them trough a scope anytime during day. They serve one of the best coffees we tasted and breakfast to die for. I know this review sounds like payed ad but it’s not :D We were very happy there. Pura vida!

Nothing, all was amazing!

- rooms are actually like private villas, very large and more charming than the pictures - shower view is great! - super fast room service - nice pool and seats - very good breakfast - super convenient location to access volcano Arenal - GREAT nightwalk with Randall to see wildlife at night and frogs! We learnt a lot and Randall was super friendly, very nice moment - the park of the hotel with all these sloths !! - great welcome at the reception thanks to Kevin who explained us everything - lots of activities suggested and great recommendations

- restaurant is a bit expensive

The property is so beautiful, the staff take so much care for the plants and wildlife. Every day we spotted sloths, iguanas, hummingbirds and toucans thanks to the staff helping to point them out to us. Highly recommend doing the free tours the hotel offers - Josue our guide was fantastic and had so much knowledge. Everything was so clean, modern and we didn’t want to leave!

The only negative is that we found the restaurant quite expensive for the quality of food. Breakfast was excellent but our dinner there wasn’t the best. However it’s a short drive into town where there are lots of places to eat.
