La Anita Rainforest Ranch

Paulo, the owner, was very welcoming and accommodating. The activities he suggested were excellent. The food was very good. Our cabin accommodation was excellent and the grounds are expansive and beautifully landscaped. Some of the road to reach La Anita was very rough but the ride was worth it. We would highly recommend visiting La Anita Rainforest Ranch.

Highly recommend visiting this beautiful place in Costa Rica. Took a little bit to get there from the airport but it was well worth it. Yes the road leading up to the ranch has major potholes but it was a lot of fun to drive on. Make sure you get an SUV if you can. Pablo was a wonderful host, I consider him a friend now after staying there for three nights. I got two wonderful massages from Sonia which were excellent. Pablo has two wonderful dogs that became my buddies. The food is fresh, the cacao tour was the bomb! make sure you take home lots of their delicious choc bars. Sad that mine is almost gone. We checked out a nearby hot spring/ mud bath which was a lot of fun. My favorite part of the ranch was lying in bed at night listening to all of the birds and rainforest critters around me. Very affordable place to vacation to. I guess my only complaint would be that there was no where to go after dinner to hang out other than your room and because the cabins are somewhat close to each other your neighbors could be disturbed if you talk a little loud. We are not generally early to bed people so that was a bit of a challenge. It was very quiet abd peaceful overall on the ranch and I didn’t see any children. Also next time I visit I will bring a couple extra towels, probably could’ve got some from the staff but didn’t want to bother them.

While visiting Costa Rica, I wanted to stay a place that was rural, not a mega resort, had amenities, had charm, and was authentic to its surroundings, and at La Anita I found this. Anna and Pablo, the owners, were on hand and were very: welcoming, engaging, accommodating, and helpful. I regret that I didn't rent a 4x4, which I recommend, at the LIR, but the owners of La Anita arranged transportation and payment for me from LIR to La Anita, a day excursion to a national park, and then on to my next destination...The meals I ate at La Anita were delicious, organic, homemade, and genuine to Coast Rica. Being a solo traveler I also enjoyed that their dinning was semi-family style as it gave me a chance to converse with other guests. La Anita is a working cacao farm and offers a tour of its cacao production. This tour was absolutely worth it just for the chocolate tasting alone! Honestly, I also enjoyed just walking around the beautiful grounds.

If you are looking for a beautiful different experience you would love it. Only a few rooms, quiet , manicured grounds, impecible service. The owners Ana and Pablo are at the top of the hospitality industry. They make you feel like a guest in there home. Will help with any information , activities, anything. The food was so fresh and delicious. If you want a real costa rican stop, go here. Relaxing, hiking, beautiful country side. I cannot give it any higher reccomendation and i am premier Member in hilton, hyatt, fairmont, and IHG. Get a four wheel drive , the road travelled to get to a great place is bumpy.

A fabulous location, engaging & mindful couple that manage it, charming accommodations & good food. Great value for the cost.

La Anita was easily the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. Thank you Ana and Pablo for making our trip so memorable.

Absolutely loved our stay at La Anita. From the time we drove in to the minute we pulled out, Pablo and Anna made us feel like family. Such a beautiful property. The food was excellent and I was very happy to have stayed here

Amazing place to stay, our hosts were outstanding. We had a great time.

If you enjoy a natural environment, beautiful views and genuine experience, I think you will be very happy at La Anita, The proprietors, Pablo and Anna, are wonderful guides and give essential insight into the property, history of the region and local activities.

The food was fabulous! It was so beautiful there and the owner was so nice and made our stay perfect! I also had the best massage I've ever had!! Thanks for your hospitality!!
