Casa Rio Blanco Eco Friendly B&B

Perfect location for a short stay.

Pros: Rustic, comfortable, clean, wonderful location by a river, surrounded by nature. Lisa looks after the property well and is excellent company.

Cons: Nothing.

Lovely place to stay

Pros: Friendly owner, great breakfast, great location! We had a night of heavy rain/storm but it was still great. Lovely place to wander the grounds and just chill!. Was great to spot wildlife and although the rain put many birds off the owner still took time to point out what I would have otherwise missed! Got some great images!!

Cons: Enjoyed it all

Special !

Pros: A room without windows in the jungle. We loved it all the jungle noises like sleeping in a tent but with confortable bed. ,The garden with red eyed frogs toekans and other nice birds

Cons: it was warm in the room

Pros: This is a lovely property out in the countryside. The area is not touristy but has lots to see. The lady owner showed us red eye tree frogs and there is a lovely little waterfall to see.

A night in the forest

Pros: If you like the idea of sleeping in the forest, this is for you! The cabins are rustic but clean, beds super comfy and there are no glasses on the windows, just nets - so you can let the river and nature sounds lull you to sleep. You may need a blanket! The host is very nice, we loved her dog too! Amazing little tropical garden to explore, especially at night!

Cons: A little too close to the road so the odd traffic noise breaks the spell.

Very special and unique!

Pros: It's a mini paradise enclosure with a few bungalows, a communal living/eating area, with a creek at the bottom that rocks you to sleep. We were a group of 6 across the ages of 11,14, 35 and 48-year olds and had the place to ourselves and felt like an extended part of the family. It's conveniently located between San Jose and La Pavona to break the journey to Tortuguero and only a 5min detour from the main road. It was lovely to meet and chat to Lisa, the Canadian owner.

Cons: We liked everything

Superb stop off

Pros: Brilliant B & B. Perfect place for a night or two. We used it as a stop off between San Jose Airport and Tortuguero. Lovely host, comfortable cabin and delicious breakfast of Omelette, freshest of fruit and good coffee. Goober the dog was very friendly too!

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Beautiful rustic B&B

Pros: This was an absolutely lovely place for our first night in Costa Rica! Charming little place by the river, with a small but beautiful garden. We were delighted to see the red eyed tree frogs in the garden, and their eggs hanging from a leaf above the pond. The garden and the whole grounds are full of beautiful flowers and plants and the place has a feel of a piece of paradise. Our hostess was super nice. Breakfast was excellent albeit somewhat on the smallish size. The view in the morning, when we discovered that our cabins are right on the cliff overlooking the river - was stunning! The cabins are rustic, but the sheets were clean and there was warm-to-hot water (depending on the strength of the flow). All in all highly recommended!

Cons: Would have been nice to provide shampoo and, who knows, maybe even conditioner. Be sure to take headlamps, because the garden isn't lit at night (we actually liked it that way, but some may not).

Love this place!

Pros: One of our best stays while traveling CR for 5 weeks (even came back at the end). Stayed here for 3 nights. Super friendly staff who shared their story about the adventure of moving to CR and finding out life. Inspiration for our own dreams in the future. Cabins are simple but everything you need. Real feeling of being in CR. There are no windows between you and outside, only the insect screen. Wow that gives such a great feeling of being connected with nature! The view is incredible and the location gives the opportunity to swim in a natural pool (ofcourse when weather is allowing you). Beautiful garden, great path to the lodge. Different bird species and other wildlife!

Pros: You'll find your cabin in a beautiful garden naar the Rivera. Everything you need is provided for. It's quite near the highway but far enough to not be bothered by it. Instead you'll sleep with the easing noises of the jungle. Have a lovely breakfast and take a walk down the property befor you hit the road again.
