We loved our stay here at La Anita Rain Forest! The property is STUNNING. Pablo and Ana are fantastic hosts and the kitchen staff are incredible at what they do! Shout out to Raquel at reception for ensuring that everything is taken care of. The property has hiking trails, we took the Tapir Trail and the Araña trail and saw many wildlife (make sure you wear hiking boots and pants as there are snakes). Between the two trails, I highly recommend the Araña trail - it is spectacular and follows along the river. There's two dogs on the property, they are so adorable and friendly! They even joined us on the Araña trail and made the experience even more special. The cabin itself is just wow. Amazing craftsmanship. I loved falling asleep to the sounds of the critters at night. There's a good amount of ground staff that work very very hard to maintain the beautiful landscape here.

Wifi connection. No connection at all in the cabins. Although we love the idea of disconnecting, we do enjoy researching wildlife sightings / work out logistics for the following day before bed however wifi only works around the parking lot/reception area of the property.

Real family run Cacao plantation and chocolate factory. Breakfast and dinner were great - ranch style. The chocolate tour was incredibly educational and eye opening to the history of chocolate. The accommodation was really good and we slept well without windows (just screens) - wonderful rainforest experience. Horse riding was arranged for us absolute beginners..

Despite excellent instructions on how to get there we still managed to take a ‘shortcut’ over a mountain track in our 2 wheel drive car. We discovered the button called ‘descent control’ and that helped us arrive safely. Stick to the main roads.

Amazing location in the rain forest, on private property. So much jungle. The best food during our trip, everything homemade and the owner Pablo is friendly and very helpful. We decided to book a dinner which tasted amazing, soup as a starter and fish for main. Try the homemade granola for breakfast!:) The property has even its own chocolate factory there, and we bought dark chocolate which was also great! The room itself gives you the complete jungle experience as you can hear the sound of the jungle while sleeping.

The bathroom could have been a little bit cleaner, but I guess that’s just the humidity there.

Ana and Pablo are really friendly hosts. The cabin had everything we needed. The location and surroundings are breathtaking. Really peacefull and nature everywhere you look. Good place for birding. We walked some trails on the property as well, for example the tapir trail. Very nice. Food was good as well, especially the yoghurt and home made granola at breakfast.

That we could not adopt Vito the dog :))))

This is a very special place. We were welcomed by two cute adorable dogs. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful. The peaceful little cabins are surrounded with tropical plants and lovely gardens giving you total privacy. There is no need to close the curtains as you are one with nature. Spending time on the balcony with the artisan rocking chairs and hammock is so calming and relaxing. Lots of nice trails to walk. The meals were special and we chatted with many people at breakfasts and dinners. We now have a couple that we hope to keep in contact with and perhaps meet up with again. The highlight of our stay was the chocolate tour with Pablo who knows all there is to know about chocolate. He travels world wide to taste chocolate. Pablo spends quality time with all of his guests as this farm is clearly his passion. You can feel the love and passion he pours into this place.

After a month in Costa Rica, this was one of our highlights. It is a beautiful, well kept property. We loved the main eating area and cabins. The chocolate tour was wonderful! We enjoyed the area and walked the trails- lots of birds! Even the gift shop was good - with reasonable prices!

The only negative were the roads getting to the property. All good except the last 10 km or so.

Words can hardly describe the place. It is a cocoa plantation (which is hard to see as it is all so harmonically blended in) with the ambience of a well-maintained English park, were it not for the tropical plants. The breakfast/lunch place is a huge airy wooden place which overlooks the gardens. And yes, the rooms have no air-con, but as they are 360 degrees shielded with fly screens it is surprisingly bearable for us Europeans; and the jungle noises at 5 in the morning are overwhelming. The hosts were the most friendly people we have met in entire Costa Rica; they were giving us the feeling to be welcomed as friends rather than "objects handled for payment" as we felt so often elsewhere. Thank you very much for your hospitality, Pablo and Ana!

We don't know if it's a drawback at all ... the lodge is sort of "offline land" with poor mobile signals and WiFi only in designated places, but on the other hand it is proof that one does not actually _need_ to be connected 24/7. It goes pretty well (for a while) without :)

The hosts, Ana and Pablo, were SO kind and involved in making your stay wonderful. Absolutely need to do the chocolate tour-they make an exceptional product and teach you so much. The property is stunning....pics don't begin to show you how beautiful it truly is.

Everything was exceptional. Make sure you have a 4x4 vehicle to get to the property...this is standard in many parts of Costa Rica.

The staff and owners were so great. They helped organize great trips for us! The waterfall excursion was great and the trip to the dairy farm was fun for kids. I really enjoyed the peace and quiet.

The property was remote and Provo ate which is lovely but be prepared to need your own car or hire transports. Also, due to the remoteness of the area be aware that there is no wifi or service which is not a big deal but made it harder for kids to keep up with some school work. There is one spot with service that was available for guests.

This is the best place we have stayed in our costa trip so far (4 weeks in). The setting is gorgeous with the trees and birds. Only the sound of nature at night. So much breeze from the netted open windows. No bugs which is a surprise for the location. Huge bed, hot water shower and hammock on the terrace. Very warm welcome.

Wifi was spotty and only by the main building - understand that it’s meant to be a get away and not too much of a bother if you don’t have any trip planning to do.
