I loved my stay at Hotel Rancho Cerro Azul! The cabin was beautiful and very spacious. The only issue I had was needing fresh sheets due to someone’s hair being on the linen. Overall, I enjoyed staying there.

Our stay at Rancho Cera Azul was fantastic! Perched just on the edge of town, we enjoyed our own private cabin with a beautiful, secluded back porch and hot tub! The cabin was beautifully decorated, with comfortable beds and thoughtful details throughout. The grounds are stunning, filled with lush gardens and a lovely short hiking trail leading down to the river out back. The bar and restaurant were top-notch, the food was amazing! The staff were all wonderful—special thanks to William and Isaac for making our stay even more memorable.

For the price point during peak season, our bungalow with its own jacuzzi all surrounded by amazing flora and situated at a fair distance from other nearby bungalows, with its own on-prem cute bar, located on a relatively quiet street, about 5 minutes by car from La Fortuna waterfall, was excellent.

This place is magical, with secluded cabins with huge beds, coffee makers and refrigerators, and outdoor hot tubs shrouded in banana trees.
