The hotel is a tranquil retreat nestled in the forest, providing a unique nature-integration experience. The rooms are clean and spacious, but I found the lack of power points to be inconvenient. The buffet meals offered a good variety, but breakfast could be hit or miss. This peaceful location is wonderful for those wanting to unwind in nature, but keep in mind that evening entertainment is limited.

This resort is nestled in a lovely area where nature surrounds you, making it a great base for exploring the nearby river and wildlife. While I found the accommodation to be quite basic and the dining experience to be hit or miss, the beautiful gardens and amazing birdlife truly made my stay special. The service was inconsistent, with some staff being exceptionally friendly while others fell short. Overall, it has great potential with a bit more attention and care.

Villa Lapas offers a unique experience for nature lovers, with plenty of opportunities to see wildlife and great trails. My room was clean and located well, but the dining left something to be desired, especially with the a la carte options. The staff provided exceptional service at the front desk, which was a highlight of my stay. Overall, it was a wonderful retreat, while the food could use improvement.

I had a wonderful time at this resort nestled in the lush surroundings of Costa Rica. The wildlife was incredible, with toucans and lizards right outside my room, making for a uniquely memorable experience. The accommodations were rustic but adequate for my needs, although the thin walls meant I could hear conversations from the neighboring room. The dining options could use some improvement, as the buffet was just acceptable. Overall, though, it was a lovely retreat for nature lovers.
