Tiki Villas Rainforest Lodge - Adults Only

Wow what a beautiful location. Staff were friendly and helpful but were very busy! This is a lovely place, food was excellent and room comfortable. Just a few minor things that could be improved - dripping tap, modernisation of bathroom but overall recommended for a quiet stay in a wonderful location with great food.

The view, room, staff, food, .... everything was fantastic. For us the location was ideal as we wanted to explore the area - Nancy gave us some great recommendations and we really helped us enjoyed our time. Your first drive up the hill to the hotel is a little daunting but not a problem after that. We would absolutely stay at TVRL&Spa again and highly recommend.

Visited Osa the 15th time and only 2nd time at Tiki Villas. The location is great, the service and room used to be great. Mismanaged and understaffed. Dissatisfied and disappointed. Why? We stayed in Villa 4 for 7 nights: the shower door doesn’t lock or slide easily, shower is a bit more that dripping, the toilet flushes non-stop, the sliding doors to the balcony lock with difficulty, one of the beds have ants. The railing of the outside shower is rusty and separated from the floor. Service: Staff struggle with food orders, one morning we waited 45 minutes for eggs and bacon, when only 2 tables were occupied. Everyday we were asked if room cleaning is needed, when the room is dusty; towels were changed only when requested, coffee refills replaced only when requested. You get the impression that the owner doesn’t care and this place is being squeezed out of any existing resource. The “end-game” for this place cannot be a bright one, unless maintained and managed. Not again.

Excellent location with breathtaking views. Close to great surfing beaches and small towns. We were able to take advantage of a plethora of outdoor activities all within a short drive. The Tiki Villas were a great place to come back to and relax, watch the monkeys and toucans while sipping a great cocktail.

We had just come from the Caribbean side of Costa Rica and stayed at aWà Boutique Hotel. Basically the same price but on a whole different level. (You can read my review on it). I say this only as a comparison of boutique hotels in the same county. Upon arrival, we barely received a “buenos dias to Tiki”, very flat and cold. Once shown the room it was lovely with an amazing view of jungle and ocean. Possibly my mistake in reading about the hotel but basically you need to drive down to the main road and then select a beach up the road if you want to swim as the beach at the bottom of the drive is rocky and not conducive to swimming. There are 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella you can rent at the swimming beach for $15 US. I suppose you could walk down a rather steep rocky road from the hotel to the non swimming beach but not that close and then in the heat and humidity, need to trek back up. Upside, lots of birding from the smallish pool that due to its size made a great, somewhat intimate social spot, where all the guests having similar interest would mingle and tell stories of their outings of the day. Although, there were a couple of times when there weren’t enough lounge chair for all the guest unfortunately. In general, I would say the property felt “tired” such as the missing tiles in the pool, worn out flusher on the toilet, burned out light on patio, sticky sliding door to balcony as well as the staff seemingly unhappy to be working there. Based on the website and just coming from the other hotel, my expectations may have been set too high…

Great experience and wonderful, welcoming staff! The rooms could use some comfortable seating inside but having the deck and views are perfect. The restaurant food is delicious, to include the full breakfast offered each morning. Such a relaxing retreat with easy access to towns and beaches.

The entire staff without exception are the kindest, friendliest, and well trained group of professionals that we have ever had the pleasure of staying with. The manager, Nancy, sets the standards and leads by example. I have eyesight issues and Nancy had staff track down 100 watt bulbs to replace the existing bulbs in the bathroom and shower! This kind gesture meant so much and made such a difference. The small size of the resort and the privacy of individual villas lends itself to truly relaxing in comfort and luxury.We stayed 6 nights and the location was perfect for daily exploring! Thank youTiki for a great vacation!
