Wonderful staff, extremely hospitable and helpful. Great food; we ate breakfast and dinner there. So nice to hear the river and the wildlife at night, just outside the hotel. A little far removed from the main town of La Fortuna (took about half an hour to get there) but that suited us fine.

We have been to San Rafael Ecolodge five times. The gardens and greenery are fabulous, accompanied by the musical sounds of the rainforest. We are always treated like royalty by Giovanni and Luis. They have made many upgrades over the last few years, and each stay is more pleasant than the last one. You'd be hard pressed to find more congenial, exuberant hosts - they really do make you feel like family . The Hotel is walking distance to town for basic necessities, but if you let the hosts cook for you, you will not be disappointed. Muchas gracias to you both, and we will return!

It’s like coming home to family, Giovanni and Luis are the most amazing hosts, warm, welcoming, the whole place represents tranquility, downtime, beautiful surroundings and the best Margarita I have ever had made by Luis. I recommend this place whole heartedly to anyone. The lodges are great and all surrounded by dense foliage, amazing sounds as dusk settles. Thank you both for making our holiday so good. .

Great stay about 30 min drive from busy and touristy La Fortuna town. The hosts were phenomenal: accommodating, friendly, everything was taken care of. Great homemade food! What a wonderful stay, will return in the future for sure.

Luis und Giovanni leben die Pura Vida Einstellung. Sie sind herzlich und versprühen pure Lebensfreude. Das Essen ist sehr gut und wird täglich frisch zubereitet. Trotz vielen Möglichkeiten auswärts essen zu gehen haben wir uns immer für Luis und seine Kochkünste entschieden! Die Hotelanlage ist schön, sauber. Luis und Giovanni geben hilfreiche Tipps für die Umgebung ohne dabei aufdringlich zu sein. Wir haben es sehr genossen und sind dankbar, dass wir Gäste sein durften!

Staying at Villa San Rafael was an exquisite experience. Giovanni and Luis received us in a wonderfull way (even Thor in is doggy way participated) and helped us with all what we needed for an unforgattable vacation. Giovanni helped us to visit the nearby "el bosque eterno de los niños", a must when you are staying at the hotel, and also the eco-termales nea lor the Arenal Volcano. During this visits we saw more animals in wildlife condition then we saw in our whole life. Breakfast was included but even then really exquisite, and a wonderful way to begin the day. I hope I can repeat it with the rest of my family, and I can fully recommend it to anyone who travels to the beautiful lands of Costa Rica.

What a wonderful stay and experience. Giovanni and Luis made us feel like family. You can feel the love and thought in all the details of the landscape. Gio’s passion for nature was infectious. The property was cozy, peaceful and clean. The food was delicious and fresh. Many herbs and ingredients used to cook were from his property. We had such a great experience and can’t wait to go back!

Hotel San Rafael es muy cómodo, la atención es excelente, sus habitaciones muy confortables y la comida espectacular. 100% recomendado. Nosotros íbamos en una exploración y la verdad que quedamos sorprendido con las instalaciones. Es un hotel que vale la pena visitar si andan por la tigra.
