Karole is absolutely amazing. The apartment is on a family estate, it’s beautiful and very well furnished. We felt at home, far from the tourist area, in nature. We saw a lot of toucans and other amazing birds. Thank you so much. We had a blast!

First of all a big big thank you to Ernesto an Leslie, the owners of Vocaré, who made this wonderful and special experience so marvelous. From the first minute we felt like visiting friends, such a warm welcome for us and our two kids. Our kids loved the dogs (9), pigs, chicken and bats😉 Ernesto and Leslie made a super delicious breakfast with fruits from their garden. The Dinner was a dream, fresh smoothies with fruits from the trees next to you, vegetables from the garden and the best fish I have eaten. Ernesto and Leslie I told you, I will be back just to have dinner with you😉 The river next to Vocaré is so nice. We went swimming in the river, there is kind of a pool, also our daughter (5) could swim there on here own. All in one, one of our best experiences in our Costa Rica holidays.

Johnny was the best host that you can imagine. He knows a lot about animals and is very helpful. He recommends nice places where you can do activitys around the area. Especially the night tour and the cacao tour are very nice. The hotel has a small garden with a lots of animals. You can see tucans and frogs around the area. The rooms are nice and clean and the breakfast is very good. This place is definitely an recomendation. It was the nicest place where we have been so far in Costa Rica.

We just loved our short stay here! The lodge was beautifully made with so many nice details, realy showing some great skills. The kotchen was fully equippes although we did not use it. The owners were lovely people. And the welcome with wine and chocolate was amazing! Unfortunately it rained heavily for most of our stay but we had a small window to listen to and watch birds in the morning.

Beautiful rainforest area, very quiet, tranquil and very remote. If you want to do hikes or tours, plan the rates for entrance-fees and guides in advance, they tried to take a bit of advantage of us charging us a lot of $$$

Upala is a wonderful part of the country, partly because it is so much less visited. The wildlife/cacao/waterfalls/volcanoes - are all wonderful. go to las hornillas, have a hot tub in a volcanic crater, get some almost good cheese. go sit in a waterfall and let nature massage you.

A peaceful place to relax.

A peaceful place to relax. The hotel restaurant has excellent service, delicious food, and reasonable prices. It's very close to downtown Upala but also secluded, which allows for peace and quiet.

We made our decision based on the photos.

We made our decision based on the photos. They were cleverly photographed and staged. The last bungalow is in a nice location but run-down, cold, and not inviting enough to want to stay long. It's only suitable for tourists who just want a place to sleep. The gas stove didn't work. A cockroach was brewed along with the coffee while making it. The bedroom was tiny, with no bedside table but a standing fan.
