Noah's Forest Hotel by Tifakara

The location and grounds were amazing. Near enough to town but close enough to be immersed in nature - the landscaping at Noah’s is fantastic- and the wildlife is abundant. The staff were super friendly and couldn’t be more genuinely helpful - Chi Chi, Arlen, Eric, Charlie and Ana were just a few. But behind the scenes the cleaning left beautiful towel animals each day and our rooms were spotless. Breakfast was a pleasure as were the many cocktails and evening food at the restaurant. Best place to stay in Arenal having looked at others in the area. Ooh, a your very own hot tub, surrounded by lush planting and hummingbirds was a huge bonus!

We have stayed in many places around the world and Noah's Forest was one of the best we have ever experienced. This place is truly exceptional. Beautiful sounds that make you feel immersed in a jungle environment with amenities in a stunning setting (outdoor pool and ping pong, pool, restaraunt). Free coffee and cold water at any time, incredible breakfast included with the stay, fantastic private hot tubs. There was nothing we didn't love. The staff was incredible. Anna at the front helped with anything we needed, even helping me figure out how to get a prescription we forgot to bring. She was so friendly, helpful and kind. The wait staff was similarly lovely and friendly. The room was crisply clean, with great a/c, and a lovely shower. If we ever get the chance to come back, we will. Book this place - you won't be disappointed!

🌿 A Magical Corner in the Heart of the Forest 🌿 I had the privilege of staying at Noah’s Forest Hotel by Tifakara to celebrate my 50th birthday, and I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how special the experience was. The hotel is without a doubt one of the most beautiful I’ve ever visited—surrounded by lush nature, with architecture that honors and blends seamlessly into its environment, and a peaceful atmosphere that embraces you from the very first moment. But what truly made my stay unforgettable were the people. Sol and Ana at the front desk welcomed me with such sincere warmth that I felt at home instantly. Allan guided me through a wonderful tour experience with kindness and care. And at the restaurant, Arlen, Charlie, and Erick treated me with such heartfelt attention that it truly touched my soul. They all went above and beyond to celebrate my birthday with thoughtful details that made this trip deeply meaningful and emotional. This place is not just a boutique hotel in the forest; it’s a space where your heart feels seen and embraced. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking more than just a getaway—this is a journey of connection, beauty, genuine hospitality, and love in the small details. Thank you, Noah’s Forest, for everything. You’ll forever hold a place in my heart. 🌱💛

Beautiful location , surrounded by forest feels like in the jungle . The food was amazing , breakfast is included and ala carte and with lots of good options and delicious. While the facilities, layout , design and vibe of the place were amazing it was the staff that made it exceptional . We picked this place as we just got engaged the same day and wanted to day somewhere nice. We mentioned that to the front desk and they made an especially table for us at the dinner with flower decoration and very cute congratulations card . While it was a simple gesture it really meant a lot and made our whole stay just exceptional and memorable .

Noah's Forest is a lovely hotel tucked into a lush rainforest setting that hugs a little river at the edge of La Fortuna. We were traveling for a little Birthday get away and they had a birthday cake (made out of towels), balloon and birthday greeting card to greet us! We took a little walk (after checking in, having been given a wonderful cafecito with a homemade cookie) and saw two sloths in different areas of the hotel. The kind gardener Modesto set down his machete and showed us where the last sighting of a sloth was seen and sure enough, there she was with her little baby. The garden walkways are so beautiful. In the evening we enjoyed the free Night Frog tour with other guests of the hotel. We returned for an evening meal with live music- everything was lovely, food delicious. I had a sesame crusted tuna steak which was incredible. Exceptional breakfast served a la carte with a wonderful buffet of fresh fruit drinks, fresh fruit, coconuts in the shell with a straw, excellent coffee and homemade sour dough breads, croissants and homemade jams. The restaurant staff was amazing. Thank you to the great staff for your kindness and good service.
