Book a hotel near Rancho Tipico don Juan, El Cerro

"Really lovely hotel. Pool was great and staff were all very friendly. Amazing panoramic views and shout out to the fresh omelettes for breakfast! Would recommend :)"

"The resort is paradise. We stayed in the Vista Suite overlooking the ocean. We saw many animals from our private terrace including daily morning sightings of the Capuchin monkeys frolicking by the swimming pool. On the grounds of the resort we saw macaws, variety of other parrots, sloths, and iguanas. The staff was incredible, very friendly and professional. The food in the restaurants was exceptional as was the service. Highly recommend this resort."

"View was amazing! Sunset from restaurant and sunrise from lying in bed! Staff was even more exceptional- treated us like family, especially Enzo. WiFi was not good in the room, but AC was strong. The nature tour was a treat, we saw monkeys up close and also sloths, birds and iguana. A tucán was right next to us at breakfast! No pool- it's more of a place to use as homebase when doing other things, not to stay all day. But such a beautiful place to start and end the day!"

"Staff are happy and very helpful, but this property is extremely dated. There is no way this can be considered luxury. Feels like a 3-star at best. We couldn't wait to leave."

"Very clean with very helpful staff"

"Our stay here was honestly unforgettable. The villa we stayed in was absolutely beautiful, overlooking the town below with the most incredible mountain views every morning. Waking up to monkeys jumping on the roof and in the trees right in front of our villa was such a surreal and special experience. The villa itself was super spacious and very clean. We really appreciated that daily cleanings were offered, but also optional if you wanted more privacy. Breakfast each morning was amazing, with a few different options to choose from — I highly recommend the Pura Vida, it was our favorite. We didn’t end up taking the surfing lessons, but we watched them during breakfast and the instructors were so supportive and encouraging. It was really nice to see that kind of environment. I especially want to give a shoutout to Sophie and Gabriela. Sophie, who worked overnight, truly made our mornings and nights feel so comfortable. She was so welcoming, talkative, and gave us great recommendations — especially meaningful for my partner who was traveling for the first time. Gabriela made our breakfast every morning and helped care for our villa, and she is just such a warm and vibrant person. Even though I’m not fully fluent in Spanish, her energy and kindness came through so strongly and made us feel at home every day. We’ve only been back for a week and I already miss this place so much. I would recommend it to anyone. Just keep in mind there are stairs to get to the villas, but if you"
