Cecropia Ecolodge

We had breakfast and dinners at the lodge. Many of the greens were from the garden. The foods were carefully prepared and delicious and nutritious. the Grounds are very well cared for and the hiking trails were well maintained. We loved the observation tower and the birds.

The road is not easy for the last two miles. We recommend having a car with good clearance and all wheel drive.

Big property which you can spend a lot of time enjoying natue flora, birds and fauna. If you dont want to stay in a tourist trap area, this place is perfect. However, it is not too far from tourist attractions if you want to spend some time visiting the attractions. The service was excellent!

The dirt road is long and requires an SUV. It is also almost an hour away from the fortuna's tourist attractions if that is the only thing you are looking for.

Amazing place, unforgettable atmosphere and very helpful hosts!

If you what to try to live in a place surrounded by beautiful nature then this is the place for you. The hosts were so nice and happy to help with what ever you needed. The facilities were very great and clean. A big recommendation from here.

Maybe the road there. It was a bit rough, but that is part of the experience and still very doable. They recommend using a 4wd.

Private guest house located in the rainforest with beautiful trees and flowers around. Bird watching in the morning while eating breakfast was amazing. Saw many different birds from hummingbirds to Tukans up close. Quiet, relaxing atmosphere with super helpful and friendly hosts J and Nohelia. We had freshly home made typical Costa Rican meals for breakfast and dinner. Hosts are very knowledgeable about the nature and places to visit. Gave us excellent recommendations for places to eat and enjoy in around La Fortuna. Great people and love what they do.

Property located about an hour away from the center of La Fortuna. The road up the mountain was rough and requires an SUV.

It is rain forest cottage. Natural and Green.

We feel moist and humid. The washed clothes could not get it dry. Not very comfortable for the raining season.

Night walk to see the frogs, colorful birds in the morning while eating breakfast, the overall ambience of the grounds, and super friendly staff.

We had a wonderful time, thanks to the wonderful hosts Nohelia and Jay. They created this beautiful forest, and can tell a lot about it. You really feel their passion for it. Breakfast was very tasty and healthy, especially the banana pancakes were delicious. We had dinner on one night which was also very good. The night walk was very interesting, Jay has a lot of knowledge and made it an exciting event for us. Highly recommended!

How thankful we are to have selected Cecropia for our first three nights in Costa Rica, although it’s hard to imagine we could match it anywhere else! The peace and quiet amongst the lush rainforest is therapeutic in itself but, added to that, the interaction with our hosts, Nohelia and Jay, made it so much more interesting and enjoyable. Nohelia is very knowledgeable about all the incredible birds that visit, not just in the mornings, but throughout the day. Jay was our guide for a night walk which was fascinating. The many trails are well kept and the breakfast and dinners were healthy and delicious.

Nohelia, Jay, and their team have truly created a corner of paradise. They are exceptional hosts who make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. It's clear how much effort, love, and passion they pour into everything they do. They take the time to genuinely connect with their guests and go above and beyond to cater to individual needs. The meals are a highlight—delicious, healthy, and hearty, made with fresh ingredients sourced directly from their garden. Every bite feels homemade and thoughtfully prepared. The lodge itself is a stunning blend of a forest and a botanical garden, teeming with wildlife, especially birds. It's a nature lover's dream. I highly recommend the night tour with Jay—it’s an unforgettable experience. Nohelia is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and Costa Rica as a whole, always ready to offer helpful tips and advice. One thing to note: the lodge is accessible only with a 4WD vehicle, as the last 3 kilometers of the road are quite rough. However, the journey is absolutely worth it. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at Ecolodge Cecropia. If I could, I’d rate it 200%. Nohelia and Jay are truly wonderful hosts, and they’ve created a magical place that’s not to be missed.
