Positive: Truly beautiful location with a river that runs through the property. Great restaurant on site with free breakfast which is delicious. The owners were so kind and very attentive.
Negative: This is glamping, which I was not expecting based on the property description. It is somewhat open to the outside (a curtain covers a large open 'window'). The main problem with this is that you really need to have lights out by the time it is dark out, which was by 6:30pm, otherwise the bugs are in your room pretty quickly. It is also a sheet metal roof with no insultation, so during the frequent rainstorms it is incredibly loud.
Summary: Beautiful property, most cabins are for glamping.

Positive: This place is truly magical. Hidden in the rainforest, it is simple, charming, and absolutely fantastic. You can listen to the sounds of the forest, observe animals, and even spot a sloth. What makes it even more special are the owners. Giovanni and his family are wonderful people—we feel so happy to have met them. We spent five nights at Guapote Lodge, which gave us time for deeper conversations and a truly meaningful experience. They are such warm and genuine people. The food is absolutely amazing as well! Thank you for everything—we highly recommend this place!
Negative: We recommend adding some hangers or a wall rack for wet clothes.

Positive: Great breakfast and lovely surrounds to walk around the property and see some wildlife
Negative: It wasn't clear that it was glamping - I thought it was a cabin. I didn't mind but felt it could have been clearer. That meant the price was a touch higher than I would have paid for glamping!
Summary: Friendly place with a great breakfast and enjoyed my stay

Positive: Guapote lodge was a warm and welcoming space. The owner, Giovanni, welcomed us with open arms and really made the experience special. We were greeted with him showing us sloths and telling us the history of him growing the place.

Positive: Guapote Lodge is a great place to stay after arriving in Costa Rica, it takes about 2 hours to drive from the airport. Located in La Tigre, near La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano. Fresh mountain air cools down at night for sleeping. We did not have any problem with bugs and mosquitoes; we did not have to use the mosquito netting and slept with our cabin open outdoors. It was quiet and peaceful, there was not any vehicle noise, no traffic and they are located at the end of the road. Our tent cabin was very comfortable; we had our own bathroom and shower. The property has many cabins shaded by trees, next to a mountain stream with boulders and natural pools. We enjoyed the sound of the stream while we were sleeping, it was very peaceful. The grounds have tropical plants and flowers, there are ponds with aquatic plants and fish, the pond next to the restaurant is surrounded by trees, plants that attract wildlife, hummingbirds and sloths can be seen in the trees near the restaurant. The owners, Giovanni and Vanessa and their family live there. They were friendly and helpful, offering ideas for things to do nearby that you wouldn’t know about, like hiking a mountain trail with waterfalls. Their hospitality was genuine and sincere, and they made us feel welcome and comfortable. We enjoyed talking with Giovanni and Vanessa. When we were there in August, it was off season, and we were the only guests. We enjoyed having dinner and breakfast at the restaurant.
Negative: Everything was great.
Summary: It was very pleasant and relaxing place to stay.

Positive: An amazing stay in a jungle Oasis. Over 800 species of rainforest trees are planted here, including very rare ones. There are many animals right in front of the lodge and restaurant and on the property, I saw Basilisks, kolibri, many sloths, many kind of birds like the Motmot bird and many frogs like the glass frog. Giovanni and Vanessa were very kind and took me on free tours over the property showing the trees and the animals. It felt like coming home. I would definitely recommend this place.
Negative: I liked everything
Summary: Amazing stay in jungle Oasis

Positive: Don’t miss the intimate environmental experience of family-owned Guapote Ecolodge if you can possibly make it! Whether for an overnight or extended stay (I was there for 7 days), this small paradise provides you with the exciting yet peaceful experience of a whole range of environments —from forest and woodland to a small river and forest transition, with a huge diversity of birds, iguanas and other lizards, sloths!—all with the FREE guidance of the family head and owner, Giovanni, who of a local family and has massive environmental knowledge and a love of sharing it with guests. All ecolodges that I had checked charge for a ‘guide’ to take you around their property: Giovanni is happy to hunt for the mother sloth and babies and teach you about the birds (over a hundred species there), lizards and other life abounding. Every day here was a glorious experience —meeting the wonderful family of Giavanni and Vanessa, communing with all the amazing wildlife —magic moments with the perfectly camouflaged 4-foot iguana catapulting off a log onto its small prey, the tiger heron almost next to me as it surveyed the river for its potential fish meal— right down to the beautiful yellow-throated toucan who I was sure “came to say goodbye” to me the day that I left, as did the mother sloth high above me. There are beautiful little trails, with little resting places to pause for taking in life around you. In the beautiful restaurant-bar are exquisite meals and snacks by ‘Higgins’ the wizard chef, a full bar and a gorgeous pond with giant tilapia to feed. Honestly, though you will surely visit ‘spectacular’ tourist spots, Guapote will likely capture your heart, and maybe you—like me— will be sure to return to this unforgettable little paradise and welcoming family.
Negative: There was nothing that could be better --- unless some extra sloths would join the mother & her babies.
Summary: A little jungle paradise not to be missed!
