Noah's Forest Hotel by Tifakara

Noah’s forest was excellent. It was the best property I have been to and I travel to luxury resorts around the world. I loved the small size and private villa/bungalows with private hot tubs surrounded by lush greenery and flowers. The staff treated you like family. There was a sloth on the property and the grounds crew had a telescope they would move throughout the day for our viewing. It was these small things that made the resort so special. It was absolute paradise. The food was excellent. The resort is only a mile from town so we were able to walk to town easy enough. Uber is common,easy,and fast.

My wife and I have stayed in 12 different hotels while driving around Costa Rica for the month and Noah's Forrest is definitely one or our favorites. The staff makes you feel like you're at home and will remember your name after 2 hours. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and very hard to believe it was free! The La Fortuna area wasn't our favorite area but if we ever came back we would absolutely stay at Noah's again. It was amazing 😍

We stayed 3 nights here whilst visiting the Arenal area. This place is magical! From the very moment we arrived, the team @ Noah's Forest were faultless. Their welcome & orientation was lovely with a welcome drink served to us by the amazing Arlen (who then looked after us impeccably whenever we were in the bar or restaurant). The accommodation is private, modern, stylish and the grounds as so well cared for. You feel like you are tucked away in your own little oasis in the rainforest. There are resident sloths in the grounds which the team identify and point out on a daily basis. The food is excellent and the team can't do enough to make sure your stay is enjoyable. We also had excellent care and attention at breakfast from Espevanza who made sure we were fully fuelled and ready for the day ahead. The pool area is lovely and there is a fire pit set in the grounds on the Sloth Trail, that is lit every evening for a few hours where you can enjoy a drink and immerse yourself in the Noah's Forest experience. We were so sad to leave Noah's Forest & cannot recommend this place enough. You won't regret choosing to stay here...

Our stay with Noah's Forest was exceptional! We arrived from Liberia in the evening in the dark so when I went out the first morning the extraordinary beauty took my breath away! The grounds are incredible and lovingly cared for by Modesto, the gardener. Modesto is very warm and friendly and clearly loves his work. He delights in showing guests the sloths and other wildlife residing on the property. In our case he brought 2 rare and colourful frogs to show us - a real highlight. The staff, Allan, Camila and Anna went above and beyond the entire time we were visiting to make sure we were happy with everything. They were warm, helpful and genuine in all of our interactions. The tour of the property with Camila was lovely - she was knowledgeable and generous with information about not only the flora and fauna but also the history and the culture. We also attended a night tour at Noah's sister property owned by Tifakara and it was a real highlight. We saw awesome frogs and other creatures. I was so good that if we had more time we would have definitely have gone again, ( Both tours are complimentary for hotel guests) The restaurant at the resort is also excellent . Breakfast is included and offers many delicious choices. The servers were warm and attentive ( thank you Jay!) Dinner was excellent and there was high quality live entertainment. to make it even more pleasant. Overall our stay with Noah's exceeded our expectations. We were sad to leave and say goodby to the lovely staff. I hope we'll return one dayl
