Tirimbina Rainforest Lodge

The receptionist charged me $1100 per night by accident instead of $110 and didn’t say anything until I came over to point this out. He said he was aware and reversed the charge but that would take one week for the bank to credit. I asked multiple times ahead of time to make sure there is an extra bed and this was confirmed in writing. Our room didn’t have an extra bed. The parking lot is far from the room. I asked for help bringing in the luggage and was told someone would come but no one came. The parking lot is patrolled which is nice. The rooms were mediocre and nothing to write home about, like a motel. The shower was old and didn’t look clean. This is an eco lodge however there were little plastic bottles of shampoo and conditioner. The food was not very tasty in the restaurant. There were some vegan options with rice and beans. The best thing about this hotel is the location and proximity to the hanging bridge, which is just steps from the room. The entrance to the park closes at 5 so we just made it. Not sure if I would stay here again but the location can’t be beat.

Perfect location, although the signage from the road is poor and difficult to find. The rooms are basic but clean although a few millipedes were also lodging with us. There is small communal garden at the back of the lodges which is lovely to sit and watch the hummingbirds and poisonous frogs. The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant food is basic but tasty and reasonably priced. There are three or four hiking routes to try over the hanging bridge. Wildlife is abundant. You don’t need an alarm clock as the howler monkeys will wake you.

Amazing! Beautiful hotel, and rainforest. We arrived late at night, took a walk and found a sloth within 20 mins! The staff was amazing!! So friendly and helpful! Angel told us about some of the plants and helped us with our español, he was so kind and informative! Mauricio the bartender was amazing as well, great conversation and he was very welcoming, he kept the bar open a little extra for us to enjoy a nice drink he recommended. Luis, our nighttime tour guide was so knowledgeable! He knew all the animals, frogs and insects, showed us a great time and let us get some amazing photos! Overall it was amazing and the very friendly staff made it even better!! Love this place! Can’t wait to come back
