Mikado Natural Lodge

Lolo the owner is a great host. The cabin is very clean and nice. The road to the place is not good, which accounts for a average rating. One caveat is to make sure you do not go on a road recommended by WAZE where you have to cross a stream. Call the owner and get direction's for another route.

I had the most wonderful experience at this lodge. Everything is perfect, the bungalows are modern and clean, the bed is so comfortable, the bathroom is exceptional. I would sit and stare at the amazing view mountain and sea view from my bungalow most evenings. My bungalow even had a bed with a built in large flat screen TV that would retract in and out of the bed frame. The site also had a wonderful infinity pool, a bar and eating area where lovely breakfasts are being serviced. The lodge also has a hot tub hut with a relaxing hot tub. All in all a very peaceful and relaxing experience and its close enough to Tamarindo or another nearby beach that have a large variety of bars and restaurants with a vibrant atmosphere. Lolo who is the owner of the lodge provides a wonderful service and make sure you are happy and comfortable at all times and is always up for a fun chat :) The BEST news is that the road to the lodge has now been fixed so it is comfortably accessible for all cars! You cannot go wrong with this lovely piece of paradise.

We loved our stay at Mikado Lodge! It is an incredible property in the middle of the jungle. The room and deck were lovely as you feel like you are in the tree canopy with the sounds of howler monkeys, cicadas, and views of deer and so many species of birds. Bring your binoculars! We enjoyed the pool time, the little trail on site, and the troup of monkeys that came swinging through the trees through in the morning. Aside from the beauty of the nature, everything is just so polished and well-taken care of. It is clear that a lot of thought and time has gone into the design and care of this boutique hotel. The owner, Lolo, was a gracious and accommodating host. She whipped up some delicious meals and was so sweet with our one year old. Playa Avellana is close by so you can go from jungle to beach in about 15 minutes! We would definitely stay there again.

The property was amazing. It had an upscale cottage feel with ALL the amenities of a luxurious hotel. Each bungalow on the property had a private feeling set in the mountains. Every morning it felt like your were at a safari with the howler monkey’s waking you up with there haunting howler sounds… JUST AMAZED!

The drive getting there was an adventure in itself. 4X4 IS A MUST!! The dirt roads and steep terrain made for some white knuckle driving!

We had a fabulous time! It was so peaceful and quiet. Food was amazing and the owner LoLo was so hospitable. We definitely will be back!

Just truely great

Beautiful rooms with a view, great hospitality by Lolo. very clean and Lolo was very helpful with recommendations. very recommended!

You must have a 4x4 car to reach the location.

A unique and extraordinary place where you can calm down. Integrated in the nature with a spectacular view even on the sea. Totally quite and calm place and Lolo is a very pleasant host.

I loved the seclusion and safety of the property. I was not prepared for the rough dirt road to it, however.
