La Tigra Rainforest Lodge

Not recommanded !! Staff are rude , the room are very humid and no hot water! A lot a lot of bugs and animal inside the room restaurant very overprice and its but eating there. Food all taste the same. We stayed 1 night and they charge us 5 nights did not accept to switch to a regular room.

Nice lodge and friendly staff. Restaurant was good and prices fair. Location was quite far from la fortuna (around 1 hour), but we enjoyed the way and the quiet nights there. Tents are not luxurious and humidity was very high, but interesting to be in so close contact with the forest. At night very easy to see several kind of frogs around. Really recommended to refuel yourself

When we went to la tigra, we were very disapointed. We did not get what we booked. Because we were not in a travell group, we got one of the so-called new bungalows wich, is, justlike a hole in the graund. This bungalow was dug one meter in the ground and we needed light to search for something in our bags in the day! The worst thing was that there was a really big spider in our bungalow and we didnt know if it was dangerous. There were no mosquito nets over the beds and there were tons of big bugs in the bungalow. Staff was ok but not very helpfull or aproachable. Very anonymus. The food wasnt very good. We wont go there again. Wouldn’t recommend it if you are not in a travell group. There are a lot nicer lodges.

If you love cockroaches and tarantulas in your room and rude staff, this is the place for you. We had such an unfortunate experience at La Tigra Rainforest Lodge. I experienced less insects in my accommodation when I was camping in a jungle in Colombia. My two friends and I were so looking forward to our rainforest lodge experience (which we had booked months before arriving), but we were treated poorly by the staff, given a room that isn’t even listed on their website, and ended up with cockroaches in our bags from our room. On the La Tigra website, they describe their “10 rustic tent cabins [which] are located on raised platforms with ample balconies”. They don’t, however, describe the *very* rustic cabin that we were given (and we are people who camp and are not needing luxury accommodations). Details are below: - Room #3 (toucan room) - #1 and #2 would also be similar - wooden cabin with small balcony (no hammock, no mosquito netting) - away from the main resort area (seems to be almost an overflow area) - one foot off of the ground (not on a raised platform with views) with an unfinished wood plank floor with gaps between planks and the jungle directly below - large gaps between the walls and the roof - we encountered over 15 cockroaches in our room, including in our bags - a massive spider was on our ceiling every night Communication with staff: - we were laughed at when we asked about the spider and told “you are in the jungle” - when we complained about the cockroaches we were also told “you are in the jungle” and laughed at by the manager - we (unfortunately) waited until our last morning to look on their website and confirm that our room wasn’t even advertised. When we asked about this, the manger replied that we should have realized this when we arrived and it was our fault for not doing so (again, we had booked months ago, and tend to trust that we would be given a room advertised). We were not given so much as an apology for the wrong room or insects DO NOT STAY HERE and support these dishonest hosts.

The main reason to travel to Costa Rica for my family. This is the second visit to this place and I loved it even more. Great experience for my 8 and 10 year old. Do not miss the opportunity to contribute to reforestation of the children’s eternal forest by planting a tree. My boys named our tree “Littlewood seedling” come visit it and hug it for us 😍
