Tilajari Hotel Resort

Fantastic stay at Tilajari. Staff was very friendly. What I liked best is that EVERYONE seemed so proud to be Costa Rican. Luis was our guide for the day, and he was THE BEST.

Stopped here for Arenal and La Fortuna tours. This is another huge property, surrounding areas and grounds are well kept, they are many groups of lodges. I stayed in 600s facing the river, which was less appealing. My room, bathroom and space were adequate. The bed was okay. There is AC which was a plus. Outside has two chairs. In the evenings, cicadas started to chirp. But by 8pm, it was okay. They are few paths to walk, many fruit trees. Lots of colourful birds, of course you can hear the howler monkeys in the distance. The hotel is abt 45-1hr to Arenal and abt 40 min to La Fortuna town. You will past many thermal pools on the way to the town. Breakfast time was the best, they would put fruits outside of the restaurant and the birds would come, quite amazing to get photos. All the meals I had were good, they presented the dishes very nice and tempting. They had very fresh tropical fruit juices and fruits. They had many choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I also had menu item, which was okay. If travelling with a tour group, they would reserved tables for each group. Part of my tour package, included a river rafting and tractor ride. The river rafting was amazing and fun adventure and highlight for me. During the river rafting, we stopped for a short break and had delicious snacks at CR homestead. Which was truly a good experience. Shout out to Pedro and his hardworking crew who did all the paddling and manned the rafts, thank you. The tractor ride was a delightful and fun tour, be prepare for a “CR massage”. This tour takes you to the sister property to do a forest tour which was few mins away, and causing honking on the road. While there, you would see lots of cows, lucky to see sabanero in action. Overall my stay was good, all the staff were friendly and helpful. Pedro and his crew were amazing, you will see them around the ground.

Good locatin

Lovely

Great hotel with a nice view.

This was a pretty property. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable.

I just read through the reviews and while some are glowing, many others said the same thing I am about to. We were on an all inclusive pickleball getaway and were terribly disappointed. The food was terrible. For 7 nights, they served the same thing. One afternoon they even gave us the leftover fish from the night before. I see many reviews about this with comments that they will work on variety, but they certainly have not. We're not picky eaters. Even having yogurt and granola for breakfast and good bread with peanut butter and jelly for lunch would have been great. The pickleball courts are covered since it rains a lot, but they are temporary nets and there is limited ventilation and barely enough light to see to play. The rooms are terribly dated. Old sheets and very poor lighting. I hate to give negative reviews, but I also believe in being truthful.
