Tifakara by the Waterfall

Trevlig personal, både på hotellet och restaurangen. Fantastisk god mat. Allt tipp topp.

This is one of the most serene and beautiful hotels where we have ever stayed. It is quaint and personal and the staff knew our names within 24 hours. Loved the pool and outdoor showers. Night walk great. The natural landscaping is beautiful and unspoiled. The flowers are beautiful. And lots of wildlife to see including hummingbirds, toucans, sloths, frogs and even a snake. We hope to come back very soon!

The facility was supper nice and clean and all of the staff is very very friendly

Ein perfekter Aufenthalt mitten im Dschungel. Die Lodge war wunderschön, modern, sehr komfortabel und super gut isoliert, keine Moskitos und alles sehr sauber. Das Bett war gross und bequem, die Klimaanlage top und jedes Detail war durchdacht. Das Personal war unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit, auch bei der Organisation von Aktivitäten wie der Frog Night Tour. Besonders schön waren die liebevolle Geburtstagsüberraschung im Zimmer und die Kerze beim Dessert. Auch das Restaurant war sehr gut. Für uns war es ein absolut besonderer Aufenthalt.

Very helpful and friendly staff. The hotel is beautiful, clean. Traveled with my family and had great time.

We got a brief view of the valcano our first day.

Amazing experience here. I stayed in the Tropical Forest Bungalow. Room was nice, AC was cold, the bed made a bit of noise when you roll over but was generally comfortable. I was nervous about that is partly outside shower but it was actually really calming. The workers here are what make the stay. Kevin, Esther, and Dilan did a great job taking care of me and my sister during our stay, recommending activities and practicing Spanish with us! The nature around the hotel was great. The breakfast had fresh coconut water each morning which I loved!!!

Dilan did a great job removing a friendly and harmless tree frog that was hanging out on our door!

We had the most amazing time. We would definitely come back here. Clean rooms, beautiful location, amazing amenities, and the food was top notch! We also love how it was centrally located to so many things. The service was also incredible - shout out to Esther, Kevin, Daniela, Dilan, and Antonio. Everyone was so helpful and friendly.

The room was beautiful and the bathroom had the most incredible shower, open to the rainforest air. Staff were welcoming, efficient and helpful. We highly recommend this boutique hotel to anyone staying in La Fortuna.
Restaurant food was also 10/10.

We had a wonderful stay at Tifakara in La Fortuna. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. A special thank you to Antonio, Esther, Kevin, Daniela, and Dilan for their exceptional hospitality and for making our visit so memorable.

The hotel was beautiful, clean, and surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. The restaurant was excellent, and we especially enjoyed the fresh fruit at breakfast each morning. The location was perfect—just minutes from La Fortuna Waterfall and close to many local attractions.

Highly recommend Tifakara for anyone visiting La Fortuna!

Dilan is such a kind host and guide. We saw so many amazing frogs and he is very knowledgeable. Lovely experience and right here at the lodge. Thank you.

We loved our stay at Ti Fakara! Our little cottage was very clean and the shower was amazing! The shower is not covered so you feel like you’re bathing in the rain forest! The staff were all so friendly and accommodating, especially Ester and Kevin. The breakfast was wonderful too. And only a 7-8 minute walk to La Fortuna waterfall. Highly recommend and I’m tough to please!

Atmosphere and people. Food was good as well.

The room was spacious and clean. The staff were friendly, caring, and helpful. The food was delicious. The location is perfect. Grounds are beautiful. Try the passion fruit ice cream, Yum!

Truly. Hidden behind a very unassuming brick wall sits an intimate and cozy oasis. Only 17 rooms - from the grounds to the birds, the frog sanctuary to the incredible team, Tifakara is a true haven.

Dilan + Esther, first to greet us - such genuine warmth and hospitality. Dilan showed us to our room and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.

Within minutes of setting our bags down, we ran into Kevin at the pool area with a telescope to take a peek at a three-toed sloth in the tree outside of our room. Kevin turned out to be a lovely eye for our family into the frog sanctuary and surrounding flora and fauna. We ended up seeing our sloth friend 2 of our 3 nights and Kevin was so passionate in sharing photos, lights for viewing and details about it all. Thank you, Kevin!

Antonio, chef Daniel and the team were the ultimate dining team. We had the privilege of spending each morning with Antonio for 5-star prepared breakfasts and mid-morning coffee and cookies (did I mention the cookies?). Our teenage boys especially appreciated Antonio’s approachability and the time he spent answering questions and sharing the love for his country. Antonio has a genuine warmth and goodness. We felt at home and like family during our time with him.

The grounds, immaculate. Daily coffee and cookies that hit the spot after a morning outing. Our room, also immaculate with perfect towel animals each day - thank you, Angelo! The birds, frogs, sloths and even monkeys on the grounds - heaven. Most importantly…the people. Each and every person at Tifakara makes it a place worth writing about. They were part of treasured core memories for our family.
Thank you for the kindest hospitality and sharing your home with us. Forever grateful for our time there!

Great Experience, great staff (special thanks to Kevin, Esther, Christian and Ronaldo), peaceful atmosphere with a lot of animals in the hotel area, private and cozy rooms. Would come again

Me and my wife stayed a week for our honeymoon and had the best time. Hotel is clean, our room was amazing with super comfy bed, grounds felt like paradise and staff were very welcoming, friendly and couldn’t do enough to make sure we had the best times especially, Esther, Antonio (Christian) and Dani.
Would definitely recommend and would love to go back one day
