Beautiful and Quaint
Pros:

I liked the facility and location.

Cons:

I disliked them ruining my birthday by telling me a day before that I cannot have a photographer that they know and like on the property nor a makeup artist and they did not even try to recommend or give me options on ways they can help. Instead they kept asking me what else they can do as if I know what they are capable of doing.

They didn't even offer to take photos for me or see if I can use a photographer of theirs, ask me the name of my photographer because he has been on those grounds multiple times that's why I hired him I saw his photos at Noah's Forest, nor did they see if a staff member can do makeup just 0% effort to accommodate the situation on my birthday. Who does that at a 5 Star resort?

Strange and very rude. I had to use my selfie stick around the property and it turned out even the manager knew Oscar the Photographer because he's done photos of their property many times with no issues before which means all the had to do was ask me more information instead they just cold-heartedly told me no, no exceptions, 0% effort whatsoever, and the photoshoot was planned in advanced to be done on my birthday at 8am the exact time of my birth.

Also, room service and food may be a bit slow so order early and it is 100% worth it, though they could admittedly use more seasoning and flavor on their protein, but the quality of food and how organic it is amazing.

The views are absolutely STUNNING and the place is very safe. Fortunately, I managed to get some decent pictures with my selfie stick tripod and Google Pixel phone. I will post more later.

The food is extremely expensive. I am used to all-inclusive resorts. If they aren't going to do all-inclusive they should just add some sort of food and drink voucher or something. Overall, it was a nice experience and an absolutely beautiful property aside from them ruining my birthday without making any attempts whatsoever to accommodate the situation.

Pros:

Die Anlage hat klar 5 Sterne verdient. Eine der besten und neuesten Anlagen, die wir in Costa Rica gesehen haben. Der 5. Stern fehlte bisher nur, weil noch kein Gym vorhanden war.

Cons:

Es gab nichts zu beanstanden und das erleben wir selten…

El Paraíso dentro del Paraíso!
Pros:

Entorno maravilloso, una casita ultramoderna y muy cómoda para ti, que mas se puede pedir? Aaah si, desayuno incluido delicioso y un restaurante muy bien atendido y con comida deliciosa!
Las fotos son reales y no le hacen justicia a casitas tan hermosas y bien equipadas. La pisicinita calefsccionada privada, una copa de vino y la lluvia cayendo sobre ti es realmente un plan espectacular.
Hicimos el tour de ranitas con Kevin, qué está incluido con tu estadía, y la verdad es que es espectacular. Solo tengo lindas palabras y agradecimientos para el Noah's Forest.
La atención del personal es realmente personalizada y de primer nivel. Tatiana, Javier, Rolo y Josué nos atendieron de maravilla en el restaurante y Oscar hace los mejores coctails de Costa Rica, Adrian nos ayudó mucho con el check in y a partir en muy buen pie nuestra estadía.

Cons:

Es el entorno perfecto! Realmente no tengo ninguna queja!

We would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

The hotel itself is lovely but the staff really stood out. They were solicitous, friendly and helpful. Tatiana and Rolando demonstrated exceptional hospitality!
The layout is also incredibly peaceful, nestled in the natural surroundings. We saw several animals right onsite, including sloths, Jesus lizards, and tree frogs. The facilities and amenities were also great. The pool, hot tubs, restaurant, and nature trails were great. The beds were comfortable and it was very peaceful at night for sleeping.

We had the perfect stay to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary!
Pros:

We stayed in the Adults only section (Noah’s Hideaway) and it couldn’t have been more perfect! We loved how clean and modern the room was and how spacious it was! We had a large bungalow (1200+ sq ft) that had an in-ground spa off our back deck. The bathroom area was unbelievable with a dual person shower, soaking tub, beautiful dual vanity sinks, a bidet, and a large walk-in closet.

The outdoor lobby at Noah’s Forest was beautiful and the restaurant, Acacia, provided the perfect ambiance for dinner (often times with live music) as well as breakfast the next morning! The food was delicious!

The location was also ideal as it is very close to downtown La Fortuna if you want to have dinner in town. Noah’s Forest is an area central to all of the activities that we had planned and is one of the hotels where tour operators will pick you up if needed.

The best part of the stay was all of the friendly staff who made our stay feel so warm and personable. They all remembered our names and were always greeted with smiles! They definitely all go out of their way to meet your every need. We were very sad to leave.

Cons:

We loved everything!

Looks nice, didn't feel very relaxing or at ease for the stay. Poor food.
Pros:

Everything was very clean and felt brand new. The jacuzzi on the terrace was a delight. Big spacious room and bathroom. The grounds were stunning.

Cons:

The food in the restaurant was not good. Staff always felt pushy for reviews which made me feel uncomfortable. Everything was just a bit over the top for our liking. Too much technology in the room made everything feel unnecessarily complicated. It all felt a bit sterile and clinical.
