- ELISABETH (10/5): Paraíso en medio de la selva - Un lugar idílico en el que pasar unos días. Es espectacular, desde las instalaciones, cabaña y por supuesto la amabilidad del personal sobre todo Rosi, la anfitriona. Un paraíso en medio de la selva Nos gusto todo
- Jennifer (8/5): - Fijne, rustige plek met een mooi huisje met twee slaapkamers en een woonkamer. 's Ochtends hoor je de brulapen en de vogels. Fijn zwembad en leuke hangmat bij het huisje. Geen eettafel binnen en veel muggen buiten bij de hoge eettafel.
- Lilliana (10/5): Un lugar para ser feliz y descansar. - Lastimosamente no hice uso de la piscina, ni del desayuno, pero las instalaciones son bellas, ese ambiente armonioso con la naturaleza, es un lugar para descansar, esta relativamente cerca llegar a Puerto Viejo.

- Chantal (10/5): Amazing! - Our bungalow was peaceful and beautiful. It’s surrounding as well: we felt in nature, but still having the comfort. The pool was perfect. Everything was perfect
- Lucie (10/5): - Les bungalows sont suffisamment espacés pour se sentir isolés
- Carole-Fabrice (5/5): - L'emplacement à l'écart de la ville est un plus. La propriétaire est gentille et arrangeante mais malheureusement pas sur place.
Malheureusement la personne qui nous a reçus était distante et pas disponible.
La maison est tres grande et la terrasse très belle. Mais l'intérieur manque de lumière et quelques éléments comme le four et la douche étaient cassés, La piscine était très très trouble (à cause des pluies ? Celles qu'on a fait la veille et le lendemain ne l'étaient pas) et un gros chien malodorant y était en permanence.
Nous sommes partis plus tôt que prévu avec l'accord de la propriétaire.
- Guest (8/5): -
- Maria (10/5): Paz, naturaleza y comodidad - Hermoso lugar en el medio de la naturaleza, para pasar unos días en Cahuita. Los jardines son hermosos y se pueden apreciar animalitos de la jungla. En auto se llega rápidamente a restaurantes y supermercados. Los ambientes son amplios y cómodos y la cocina tiene todo lo necesario. Todo está pensado para disfrutar la estadía. Me gustó todo.
- Gillian (10/5): - Absolutely loved our stay here after 2.5 weeks or trekking around costa rica this was a slice of relaxation and luxury with an eco friendly guilt free enjoyment. Facilities were great for some gome cooking and host couldn't be more friendly. The helpful welcome pack with coffee n oil were added bonus. Best sleep I've had since arriving in Costa Rice would 100% recommend 👌 Nothing
- Vanessa (10/5): - Die Unterkunft lag direkt im Dschungel. Der Bungalow war super. Alles sauber und sehr durchdacht. In der Küche stand Öl, Salz, Pfeffer zzr Verfügung. Es hat an nichts gefehlt.
- Sebastian (8/5): -

- Cristian (10/5): - Excelente ubicación Perfecto el lugar
- Nicolas (10/5): - Ideal pour la détente et proche des activités

Quel plaisir de rentrer le soir, après une journée chargée, et de retrouver le calme dans ce paradis.
Logement spacieux, agréable, confortable, et très propre.
Un grand Merci à Rosy pour son accueil et ses conseils. Et surtout pour nous avoir dévoilé sa plage préférée ☺️🤩🤩
- P.M.B. (10/5): -
- Roland (10/5): schönes Naturerlebnis - Sehr schöne, gepflegte Anlage mitten in der grünen Natur
- Grit (8/5): -
- Jonathan (9/5): - Wir waren zwei Nächte im La Rana und haben die ruhige Atmosphäre und den angenehmen Pool genossen. Die Terrasse unserer Hütte war sehr groß und hatte eine nette Außenküche. Lediglich das Zimmer war durch die Bauweise sehr dunkel. Ansonsten haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden wieder kommen.
- Berné (10/5): Una experiencia maravillosa - La ubicación y las instalaciones son excelentes. El trato del personal también. Nada, todo increíble!
- Romero (10/5): Un coin de paradis -

- jan-hildo (9/5): - Het zwembad en het ontbijt waren erg goed. we moesten de eerste dag wel een vleermuis uit ons huis zien te krijgen, maar dat was gelukkig snel gelukt
- camille (8/5): -
- Victor (8/5): -
- Guest (9/5): -
- Christopher (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hendrika (9/5): Nice park nearby Cahuita - Beautiful location in the jungle.
Clean and well equipped villa.
Nice terrace and swimming pool.
- Sarah (9/5): Comfort and atmosphere in the jungle. - We absolutely loved the outdoor dining and living space. It felt private with a sense of community. Fully equipped and large kitchen. Very clean! Lovely gardens, nice and quiet. Free filtered water was nice. The pool was a little murky but overall it was a great place!!
- Sofía (10/5): Exceptional -
- Agnieszka (9/5): Beautiful location - The place is beautiful and peaceful. Owners are super nice. Great place to relax. The hut could use some renewal, the new owners it wil definately take care about that
- Isabelle (9/5): Superb - Such a beautiful place in the jungle, lovely pool, nice breakfast. Close to Cahuita National Park but at the same time totally secluded. Also good for kids - they have a high chair, toys and books. I loved it as part of the experience - but you are in the jungle, so you can hear howler monkeys at night :-)
- Philip (10/5): Exceptional -
- Neli (10/5): Hidden gem - The place is a hidden gem. Nestled in the middle of the rain forest amongst lush gardens and local fauna. The songs of the birds were incredible and you could hear the houler monkeys every morning. We hope to come back soon.
- Arturo (10/5): Amazing place in the middle of the rain forest! - This is a truly peaceful and beautiful place to stay. The pool was the perfect size for a small group, and the availability of dry towels was a thoughtful touch. One of the highlights was the Honesty Bar, something rarely seen in Costa Rica, making it a unique and enjoyable feature.
The accommodations met our expectations perfectly well-equipped, spacious, and comfortable. Most importantly, our host, Nicolas, was exceptional. Despite a water issue in the area (beyond their control), he went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience, making every effort to accommodate us.
We had a fantastic stay and are already planning to return with a larger group! Wi-Fi signal could be better. Maybe installing routers with antennas to have better coverage (?) And I would add extra blankets on each the rooms. It was cold at night.
- Carlos (10/5): Quiet and peaceful family stay! - The nature and ambiance of the place and friendliness of staff. It is a great spot to relax and enjoy the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. Nothing in particular. Everything was great.
- Emily (10/5): Amazing stay, lots of birds, friendly owners! - Werner was extremely nice and very accommodating. Even brought us candles when the power went out. He also decorated the porch for my birthday, which was a nice surprise! Nothing.
- Christos (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adrian (10/5): Amazing place! - This place - one word: AMAZING! Right in the jungle, many monkeys around, is just spectacular! The garden is simply amazing and the owners very friendly and responsive! The swimming pool
was perfect after a long day exploring the area. You probably need a car, so 5min drive to restaurants and supermarket and 10min to Cahuita National Park. I’ll get back 100%, my kids were in love!
- Samuel (10/5): Set away amongst a beautiful forest setting, high ceilings in a tastefully furnished spacious house. A hidden gem set aw - Almost everything was perfect, In our room there was no option for a cold shower, this was my only disappointment at this property.
- Peter (10/5): Werner is an awesome host, so attentive and caring about the quality of our expereince. - The cabana was gorgeous, surrounded by lush greenery and song birds singing. It was so clean and well appointed. Nothing! Everything was great!
- Charlotte (8/5): Relaxing - would definitely recommend! - Perfect location with lots of privacy. Every gadget possible was available in our lodge - including a coffee machine and smoothie maker. Pool area was lovely and well maintained. Great for a dip to cool off at the end of the day. Beautifully kept around the lodges. Bed wasn’t particularly comfortable and the bathroom was a bit dark and dingy - and smelt a bit damn.
- Veneta (10/5): Super location, beautiful house and a very friendly welcome. Thanks for the great time! -
- Csóri (10/5): excellent - We had an amazing time here with my boyfriend. The host was superfriendly, our room was quiet and we had everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious as well. I hope we can come back some time!
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - Phantastic location and really big house, which was very much appreciated. Also great host, who was always available in case of questions or recommendations. Nothing.
- Rousset (10/5): great tropical atmosphere - the garden nothing
- Wim (9/5): Superb -
- Niccolo' (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful place, very helpful and caring owners
- Zena (9/5): Comfortable accommodation in beautiful setting - The lodge we stayed in was large and comfortable. It was nice to be surrounded by plants and birds and the noise from the howler monkeys was amazing. Werner is a very good host and even gave us some little Dutch cakes for a birthday surprise Nothing
- Phil&vicky (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely quiet place with beautiful gardens. The weather but we can't blame La Rana for that!
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed for one week at La Rana de Cahuita and had a great time! The location and entire lodge area is beautiful and very well maintained. Werner is very responsive – both in advance, but also during the stay - and takes very good care of his guests!
We loved having monkeys as regular visitors and many other wildlife in and around the property, which made it true eco lodge stay!
- Heidi (8/5): Cute Casita with well thought out kitchen and lovely grounds. - The casita we stayed in was adorable and had a well-stocked outdoor kitchen, and the host provided little things like salt, oil, and coffee filter. The birds are wonderful to watch while sitting on the porch. It is picturesque and out of the way. The host was always around and let you know when he would be away. He also gave us some great suggestions on where to go and traffic conditions. It was our first time on the Atlantic side, which can be cooler in the evening, but humid and hot in the day. My only issue was the long bumpy road to get to Le Rana. It's not the hosts fault, just be warned. Also, the yard lights are left on all night, for guests' safety, however, I found it annoying. Light pollution is a huge problem for frogs, birds, turtles, and insects, and apparently me. We visitors should not expect the Ticos to light up everything for us. We are there to see the animals, not harm them.
- Jonathan (9/5): Very nice accommodation in a beautiful garden setting and with lovely pool - Werne was a very engaging host and very helpful.
The authentic cabin accommodation is set in beautiful gardens and overall environment, with a viewing platform perfect for sunrise and sunset birdwatching/nature watching. Lovely pool and associated setting. Our self-catering cabin was comfortable and had a lovely covered sitting area, with outside kitchen. Nothing.
- Michiel (10/5): Very beautiful and clean stay. Very friendly! -
- Julia (9/5): Cosy cabin in a beautiful remote garden - The cabin we booked was surrounded by a beautiful garden, the pool area was very nice and clean. Free filtered water and a honesty bar if you are in need for drinks or snacks. The owners were very friendly and gave some great tips for activities. The bathroom could use a renovation, there was no possibility of choosing the temperature.
- Suzanne (10/5): Little paradise - Everything! Lovely pool area, the accommodation was spotless, the garden beautiful, the hosts amazing. We had such a lovely time. Just outside Cahuita, beach 10 mins away, supermarket close. Snorkelling at Manzanilla beach was was great, and the night walk in manzanilla wildlife park was amazing. Nothing
- Isabelle (10/5): A paradise ! We will come back for sure - the garden is wonderful. there are trees, plants and birds. the bungalow is very cute, functional and well equipped. the beds are very good quality. we loved our terrace with the armchairs and the hammock. the swimming pool is very pleasant and everything is very clean. this is the best place to stay in cahuita. you will hear the animals of the forest and you will be able to rest. Nothing
- Fiedler (7/5): Good -
- Selina (10/5): Amazing stay in the Caribbean jungle, with beach atmosphere and great host - Werner was a really friendly and helpful host. We had a great time! Breakfast was delicious, the rooms were clean and spacious. La rana has everything you need and more. Werner went out of his way for us to feel comfortable and he even got my mother some almond croissants for her birthday. We liked it so much, we decided to stay a night longer.
- Eunice (10/5): Exceptional - Cozy villa in a beautiful setting. The swimming pool is a big plus after long day out. The hosts are warm and welcoming, with 4 hens who make great company!
- Kire (10/5): Enjoyable stay - La Rana de Cahuita is a beautiful eco-lodge. The bungalows are very private and have everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a kitchenette, a private bathroom, and a porch with a hammock. The pool is a great place to cool off after a day of exploring, and the breakfast is delicious and includes fresh fruit from the garden, eggs, and coffee. The owners of La Rana de Cahuita are incredibly welcoming and helpful. They went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained, with various tropical plants and animals. The location is excellent, close to the beach and the Cahuita National Park. Install nets on the sliding doors of the bungalows to allow guests to keep the doors open without worrying about animals or insects entering as well as prevent overheating
Serve a larger portion of breakfast, including more than one egg.
- Laila (10/5): Highly recommended stay in Cahuita - Stayed in the cabina with a pool, which is very spacious & perfect for cooling down in the surrounding peaceful gardens, equipped with everything we needed for a week. On the deck we were visited by hummingbirds & other beautiful tropical birds, frogs, chickens & the sound of howler monkeys. It’s 5-10 min drive to the National park & Cahuita town, which we attended almost every day. The main pool area is lovely & hosts exceptional. There is also a convenient honesty bar to tide you over until you can next get to the supermarket. There’s nothing not to like :)
- Jennifer (8/5): Beautiful stay off the beaten path in Cahuita - Beautiful, clean, tropical vibes, very kind staff. Internet worked only one day out of 2. They forgot to turn our hot water on so cold showers first day.
- Imene (9/5): Superb - Very pleasant stay and very nice people! Recommend it 100%!
- Ceinwen (9/5): A great place to stay. We wish we could have stayed longer! - We stayed in a lovely two bedroom bungalow that had everything you needed, including facilities for tea and coffee as well as a fridge to keep food for breakfast or dinner. There was a really nice outside area with a hammock as well as a nice pool near the bar. The bungalows were exceptionally clean too. Oh and there was a great garden with hummingbirds and howler monkeys! The family that runs the property are lovely and super helpful. They booked us a great snorkelling tour and helped us with taxis. We arrived in Costa Rica a bit late due to one of us getting sick en route so we were a bit disorganised at the start and they helped us a lot. We loved everything about the property. It’s a little bit outside Cahuita so renting a car is really useful. You can take taxis but they’re between 5,000 and 7,000 colones each way so it’s probably cheaper to get a car from Puerto Viejo if you plan on moving around. We felt very lucky that Werner, who is one of the owners, dropped us into town on our first day. He didn’t need to do it was much appreciated!
- Francesco (8/5): Very good - Individual bungalows with privacy and kitchen.
New management (dutch family of 4 + dog and chickens) done a nice job revamping the place.
Resort is in the middle of nature, away from main road, though this means you need a car to go anywhere (beaches, national park, restaurant). No worries, you get all the good info/tips from the owner. No complementary water bottle or drinkable tap water (almost always in other places in Costa Rica). Plumbing system (warm water) may need some update, but understandable as new management started early 2023.
- Joanna (9/5): Superb - Location is great, everything is very clean Brown water in the tap.
- Ruben (10/5): Lovely stay in Caribbean paradise - We really loved our stay. Zindi and Werner are super friendly hosts, who provided us with lots of restaurant suggestions and arranged some great tours in the area for us. We stayed in one of the lovely houses situated in a lush garden in the jungle. The house had everything you need, including a fully equipped kitchen and it was very clean.
