this place is in the middle of the forrest , the food is very good and surprised us a lot. the rooms are open to nature as the terrace wall is not actually a wall but instead you have curtains so you need to know that in advance. it is recommended to arrive with your own 4*4 car.

Would definitely recommend coming to this lodge! The food was good and well-priced (lunch and dinner were also a delicious option provided), and the lodges themselves were clean and very beautiful, with a balcony view straight into the rain forest. There were trails around the lodge where we could explore the landscape on our own, but tours were also offered - we did the night tour, which was informative and super interesting! The staff was welcoming and the pools were small but tranquil and clean, with more great views. Although the lodge is very remote, everything you could need is provided for a great stay for people of all ages, so it is definitely worth the trip!

This was the first stop on our trip and everything I had been dreaming about. The epitome of outstanding ecotourism. Amazing treehouses set in the forest, super friendly team, great night walk, really lovely food and awesome trails throughout the property and neighbouring Bosque La Tigra. Such an impressive rainforest restoration project. I was initially concerned about the distance from our excursions around Fortuna but the drive was easy and it’s nice to come back to the serenity of La Tigra each day. A trip highlight!

Fun experience of being in the forest. Simple cabins, nothing fancy, but you are up in the hills amongst the trees. The drive up is not for the faint of heart. Thankfully it was dry because it is steep and very rocky at points. A low clearance vehicle will not make it. And international cellular service in this part of the country is spotty so you need to know where you are going. The staff was kind and friendly. Dinner requires a reservation, but this was not a problem -- and the food was great! We had multiple of the 'traditional' meals and was well liked by all. The food is fresh as a lot the ingredients are grown on the property. It was a fun stay but it is far from activities. About 45 mins from La Frontera which is not convenient.

What you expect might not necessarily be what you get. This Ecolodge is tourist-factory with the Charme of a train station. 1. Staff Staff was friendly though not very personal or interested. They were not even interested in our names and we had the feeling we were just numbers (room numbers) , very different to other Eco lodges we visited, (for example Lirio Lodge), which was probably the case as LaTigra is more like a tourist-factory. They push through large travel groups on a two-nights stay basis. There was no manager present, staff changed on a daily basis, no-one talked with you or explained anything beside taking your orders. 2. Location First , this is a 50 minute drive from La Fortuna and about half of it is a really rough dirt road, only drivable with 4x4. As most activities take place around LaFortuna this is an almost 2 hour waste of time every day. Second, if you drive up a mountain, what would you expect? I think the only reason to drive up a mountain is to get a gorgeous view. The pictures of the bungalows they advertise with suggests that, however, if you are not in a large travel group you are prioritised away to the so called “new” bungalows which lie around 400m off to the other side and are almost dug into the jungle ground. 3. Description of “new” bungalows: Very dark, absolutely no view, no Charme. Just plain dark wood bungalows with lots of spiders and creepy stuff inside, which is no surprise as our bungalow was literally dug into the forest ground. The lighting consisted of two naked light bulbs which hung from the roof and even during daytime you had to use a flashlight if you were looking for something in your bag. Reading was impossible. No Moscito nets, no fan, and no internet in the bungalows !!! Internet only available at the Restaurant. The bathroom smelled very unpleasantly even though the bungalow was new and we were not tempted to take a shower in there. 4. Restaurant The food was okay, though not very tasty. The only upside was, that the food was comparably reasonably priced. My daughter said this was the worst ever accomodation we had had in years of travelling.

Nice lodge and friendly staff. Restaurant was good and prices fair. Location was quite far from la fortuna (around 1 hour), but we enjoyed the way and the quiet nights there. Tents are not luxurious and humidity was very high, but interesting to be in so close contact with the forest. At night very easy to see several kind of frogs around. Really recommended to refuel yourself

When we went to la tigra, we were very disapointed. We did not get what we booked. Because we were not in a travell group, we got one of the so-called new bungalows wich, is, justlike a hole in the graund. This bungalow was dug one meter in the ground and we needed light to search for something in our bags in the day! The worst thing was that there was a really big spider in our bungalow and we didnt know if it was dangerous. There were no mosquito nets over the beds and there were tons of big bugs in the bungalow. Staff was ok but not very helpfull or aproachable. Very anonymus. The food wasnt very good. We wont go there again. Wouldn’t recommend it if you are not in a travell group. There are a lot nicer lodges.

The Tigra Rainforest Lodge is the result of the vision by the owners of the project to protect and love nature, much more than a simple accommodation is a place of nature conservation, where we teach our guests to understand the importance of The environmental protection.

The Lodge offers a unique concept of accommodation guaranteeing a feeling in connection with the tropical rainforest, offering the best environment of comfort and relaxation. Our 10 rustic country-style cabins are located on aerial platforms at the height of the forest canopy, in front of an incredible natural amphitheater in the vicinity of the Eternal Forest of Children known as the largest private reserve in Central America. Our rooms are made of reforested wood of the property provided in sections of controlled felling more than 20 years ago for this purpose, they also have waterproof canvas, thus protecting from the weather and wildlife; also equipped with a double bed or two single beds, and in some family rooms with bunk beds or cabins.

Within our philosophy we intend that our guests can experience a real contact with nature, and also can be totally disconnected from the routine, releasing stress from daily life; That is why in the design of the room we only have a power outlet located in the bathroom and two ceiling lights located in the bathroom and room, additionally we include a rechargeable hand lantern per person.

On the other hand we have different facilities for a pleasant stay such as breakfast included, private parking, Restaurant “El Canta Ranas”, tours and activities, a small river that crosses the property, trails, permacultural organic garden, animal production, arboretum, garden of hummingbirds, laundry service, wireless internet in common areas and much more.

At La Tigra Rainforest Lodge we offer the possibility of planting your own tree in areas destined within the property of more than 8.5 hectares; more than a symbolic act, it is a real plantation, which we intend to be part of a future biological corridor that serves to protect our forests and provides habitat for many species of animals and plants.
