Would highly recommend this hotel. Great staff and service (a special shoutout to Andres at the restaurant)! A beautiful garden, big room and bathroom, cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and luxurious toiletries were the highlights of our experience at La Foresta. Housekeeping did a great job as the rooms were spotless. The toiletries were so good that I bought them to bring home. It is a nature resort. Since the property is at the edge of the rainforest and it has more acreage of wilderness behind it, it is excellent choice if you like to see birds and animals in nature. We saw more animals at the property than we did at the Manual Antonio Park. We saw monkeys, macaws, iguanas, butterflies, and several different types of smaller birds at the property. We also hiked in the hiking trails in the woods behind the property. The downside of this location is that you cannot walk to the city. One more thing - if you are sensitive to noise, get a room towards the back of the property; otherwise, you can hear the roaring sound of traffic as the hotel is near a road. At night, noise can be a big issue.

Amazing property! Nice spacious rooms. Main bed was very comfortable. Sofa bed mattress was bad (but they usually are bad). Great staff. Very safe and secure. Beautiful grounds with lots of animals and ziplining on property. Food at restaurant was great. Pool was great. They had a New Year's Eve party included with our stay (that we didn't even know about until we got there). Overall an amazing experience!

We arrived around 8:30 pm to check in after a 4 hour drive from airport. Restaurant was to be open til 10 pm. We got to our room and front desk called and said restaurant was going to close early because slow but would stay open if we went to eat right then. They stayed open to accommodate us. Food and service were excellent!

A great place to stay

I've stayed here several times now. It is super convenient to the Quepos airport. The service is great. Complimentary breakfast is very good. Andre in the restaurant was very nice and offered great service. The price is reasonable. Easy to get to downtown Quepos. Property is very quiet and peaceful. Thanks!

This property is beautiful! We stayed in a 2 bedroom casita with full, well-stocked kitchen. The beds are comfortable, each room has a cool air conditioner, and the shower is big and has great water pressure. The pool area is clean and refreshing. The surroundings are beautiful. The property is next to a main roadway with a lot of traffic...there are loud trucks traveling throughout the day and night.

I didn’t quite understand that this was an Eco resort until someone told me it was on a shared excursion. Originally, I booked the room because it was for a great price, but after seeing it was an Eco resort it just added to my experience and I will be back to stay for longer!
