We recently spent 10 days in Costa Rica and had many wonderful experiences and adventures, unfortunately Hacienda La Isla was not a positive one. We stayed in 4 different locations, all being part of the Costa Rica French Touch group of hotels. El Buena Vista in Ojochal which was private, romantic, and very friendly, the Korrigan Lodge in Punta Uva... More

We stayed here for 3 nights, supposedly in a Superior Room and our tour operator advised us that this was a "boutique hotel" that prided itself on its good dining. Firstly, it's off the beaten track and our trips to La Selva Biological Station and to do a rafting tour on the Sarapiqui River took 25-35 minutes each way. There's... More

We stayed at the Hacienda and yes it is a nice place. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food is good. However, the prices are way too high considering you are in a lodge in Costa Rica and not in the Westin at Beverly Hills. There is no price transparency regarding the dinner, we also were made believe... More

At the end of a secluded road that was narrow with thick plant life we were pleasantly surprised with our 4th night accommodations. We were the only guests at the lodge that night and received exceptional attention and the best service and food we had on our entire trip including an amazing dessert. The candle lit patio dining was right... More

We stayed here for three nights. The room was adequate and we had a good night sleep. There is little in the way of space though for your belongings which can be tricky if you are traveling for a reasonable amount of time and have more than one piece of luggage. The walks are nice around the property but the... More

We stayed at Hacienda La Isla Lodge for 2 nights in January 2012. The Hacienda is located near the main street, about 30 minutes by car from Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui. Rooms are distributed all over the hacienda. We could not choose our room, neither when making the reservation nor on arrival. The room was nicely decorated, but unfortunately there... More

Hacienda La Isla is a wonderful hotel in Costa Rica. The lodge is ina quiet location and has his private domain with beautiful surroundings. The owner, Jean-Pierre, is very helpful. He arranged a boat trip on the Sarapiqui river in no time and gave a lot of info on things to see in area. His wife is a great cook:... More

We loved our stay here. Especially the food was excellent ! The gardens are beautiful with lots of birds that come right in front of your room. Jean-Pierre, the owner, is very helpful when you need more information about the neighbourhood and the activities you can plan.
