Salamandra Costa Rica

NICE Bungalows in artful garden setting

Pros: Very responsive helpful and lovely owners. We stayed in a triple bungalow (fridge and A/C) with a terrasse overlooking the beautiful garden. Lot of artwork to be discovered. The breakfast was made freshly, eggs, platanos and fruits on a terrasse of the owner's house in the wonderful garden setting. Secure parking was accomodated on the grounds. We enjoyed our stay at Jose and his wife's house. THANK YOU!

Cons: It is not luxury, but Pura Vida :-).

Pros: Salamandra is the most beautiful place to say with very unique artwork all over. José is a very kind host and a fantastic cook and made a delicious breakfast for my family and I. We had two rooms with beautiful artwork in both. It is a very easy drive from SJO Airport and was a perfect overnight stop for us on the way to Tortuguero. I wish we had more time to stay and look around at all the wildlife and artwork. Really a very beautiful place.

Great stay at Salamandra Lodge

Pros: Friendly owners, beautiful surroundings and great accommodation for one or two nights.

Cons: It was a bit difficult to communicate with them because of language barrier but it didn’t bother us.

Pros: It's not just accommodation, it's a Costa Rica experience! You shouldn't miss out on trying the delicious dinner that José and his wife prepare. The garden is a paradise for plants, animals and art. In the immediate vicinity you can visit some beautiful trails to waterfalls. Jose can also give good tips for other activities. You have to be aware that this is authentic accommodation in a typical Costa Rican town. So every now and then you will hear a rooster crowing at night. Since the place is easy to get to from the airport, it is also recommended for the first or last nights before arrival or departure.

Beautiful and very welcoming treat!

Pros: Fabulous stay, lodge and surounds verlinken artisticly made, defnatly worth a stay! Dort miss out on it. Most beautiful place we habe seen in costa Rica. With own little river and bird voices.And a very tasty breakfast made just to our wishes. Perfekt stay! Treat yourself to this one!

Pros: The place is inspiring, full of amazing original art and the gardens are incredible. There was a little river running just under my balcony! Amazing family run place.

Cons: The water could be a little hotter in the shower.

A small gem

Pros: A hidden small gem. The room was very quiet, immersed in the nature in the garden. Breakfast was superb and the owners were very nice to us, but hey offered us even a coffee with cookies, very appreciate. Thank you very much, we will be back if in Costa Rica.,

Lovely place

Pros: Very lovely place by lovely people. The breakfast was freshly made and very good.

Great option if you are in the region or on a way to Carribbean cost

Pros: I would deffinately come back. The room/bungalow was just like on pictures. Good sleep, no mosquitos:)) Salamander itself is a very nicely preserved garden or peice of rainforest with multiple trees and flowers. Among others: avocado, mango, star fruit, cocoa. Incredible experience with humming birds flying around you at breakfast as they stop by to drink nectar from flowers right next to the terrace.

Cons: All good

Cozy place where you are greeted like family!

Pros: The garden was amazing, like a jungle with a lot of art and a small river.
