Hotel Villas Gaia Ecolodge

Breakfast w as good, the staff was friendly.

Have to ask the staff to turn on the hot water to take a shower

This a boutique hotel decorated with great taste. You can hear the sound of the forest from your room

The pool needs some maintenance

Breakfast was poor They didn’t have fruit Juice was from a box Coffee was cold and very horrible

Coffee was terrible , there was no fruit, tha gallo pinto was really lame. There was no one in the hotel staff eating in the tables

Breakfast was good - house was a great size and fit all 5 of us comfortably. The pool area was nice too.

I think the checkin staff could be a little more thorough....we did not receive any information about the breakfast hours. We had to ask several times for extra towels and toilet paper (we were 5 people staying there for 4 nights). The house had a kitchen but no utensils, plates, cups, etc which we had to go and bring from the restaurant. Overall, everything worked out I just think for the price we paid, and considering they weren't ready at the time of check in, that they would be a little more prepared.

Nice private cabins. Food was excellent. Staff were very friendly Saw and heard many monkeys early in the morning

Unfortunately, it is situated very near the highway, on a bit of a downhill so we constantly heard trucks down shifting on the road Room could have used a little table and chairs, there was ample room They were quite shortstaffed in the dining room, so service was a bit slow. There was a ~14 person tour group there which didnt help,.but the one waiter was super polite and working hard. ..and our food was very good. Also, it would have been good to know that the only shaded area by the pool was under construction. It seemed as if this place was under new ownership? They might just be getting things up and running. Once they finish construction and get fully staffed, I'm sure it will be a 9 out of 10

This was my first trip to Costa Rica. Our first airbnb did not work out but finding and booking at Gaia Ecolodge saved the trip! This personal villa had air conditioning, a great shower, king size be and was very clean. The pool was nice. The onsite bar and restaurant is amazingly delicious- having breakfast included was an added bonus. Also the best pina colada I've ever had! Would absolutely stay here again!

The place is surrounded by tall trees that keep the area somewhat cool. Some birds come near the rooms. And some monkeys pass across the forest.

On the first night, hot water in our shower was not working, and we didn't have soap to wash our hands in the room (both issues were resolved the next day). One of the matresses was excedengly soft, so you we ended up into a hole and with a back pain in the morning. There is a hamock outside each room, but at least in our case, we had to use it with caution because due to the angle it was placed it could break a window of the cabin.
