Cecropia Ecolodge

One of our favorite places in Costa Rica. We love interesting places and Cecropia is all that and more. The road it is an adventure, but don't let that get in your way. If you want asphalt and four lane roads, then Costa Rica is not for you. Dinners and breakfast were very delicious. We were concerned about the distance from La Fortuna, but it was worth it and we would make the same decision when visiting the area.

The ecolodge is very quiet, far from town, in the middle of the forest. Paradise is near. Many many Thanks to Noelia. She is so nice for everybody. She knows how to cook for your health. It's very good. We kept in memory a unforgetable souvenir. We highly recommand this adress.

Nothing

To be inside the forest-jungle and wake up with the sounds of birds is unbeatable. If you also add the amazing hosts and the night walk with an experienced guide then you cannot be disappointed. One of the places that you stay and never forget.

We had an incredible stay! The food was absolutely wonderful, and the staff were exceptional—friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about both the land and the animals. You can feel the care they put into everything they do. Our room was spacious, spotless, and perfectly private, with a large, comfortable bed that made it easy to relax after long days of exploring. One of our favorite parts of the stay was breakfast on the terrace, surrounded by nature and the colorful flurry of birds at the banana feeders. We added nearly 20 new birds to our life list just during breakfast over the course of the week! Highly recommend for nature lovers, birders, or anyone looking for a peaceful and authentic getaway.

The only minor issue was the shower temperature—it was cooler than expected. We were told it was warm water, but it still felt a bit chilly, even in the warm climate.

My family and I have traveled across different countries and lived in various places over the years, and this was one of the most unique experiences we've had. The location is perfect for nature lovers, as it is nestled right in the forest. The hosts are professional, kind, and clearly passionate about nature and what they have built. The dinner we had one night was delicious, and the night tour was simply amazing.

Friendly staff, cool night tour, good food and stunning nature. We loved everything about our stay!

This is one of the best accommodations I have stayed at in all of my years of traveling. Noelia and Jay, the owners, make sure you feel welcome and provide excellent service throughout the stay. It is an amazing reforestation project that is brimming with life. We really enjoyed the walk along the trail there and just relaxing in nature. They also serve delicious breakfasts and dinners. Important: Make sure to have a 4WD, because a normal car will struggle to get you there. If you have a regular car, you can park it safely 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) from the property (exact location: 10°18'54.9"N 84°34'52.8"W).

It may be time to replace a few pillows.

Cecropia Ecolodge exceeded our expectations. It isn't just a place to sleep, it's a place to explore, to learn (not only about yourself but about the natural world around you), it's a place to truly channel that pura vida energy, and all of this was possible for us because of the owner, Jay. He's an incredible host and always doing the most! If you have the opportunity to stay here, please take part in the night tour - it was truly one of the many highlights of our trip; we learned so much about the jungle and it's hidden wonders! Breakfast was always so delicious and they were incredibly accommodating to my partner's celiac disease and provided gluten free alternatives. Overall, we had an incredible time here, what a special place. We will never forget it!
