Vibes are unmatched
Our stay was absolutely phenomenal. We were greeted at reception with excellent service. The room was fantastic. Upon arrival we were surprised with a complimentary bottle of champagne and a thoughtful note congratulating us on our anniversary. The room itself was perfect, the bed and sheets were one of the most comfortable we have slept in, it was like sleeping on a cloud. Housekeeping was pristine. Mariluz was our housekeeper for the duration of our stay and she did an amazing job, we came back to different towel animals in our clean room daily which was a sweet gesture. The towels and robes were all very clean. The private jacuzzi in each bungalow was spectacular. After a days adventure hiking the waterfall it was so nice coming back to our own private jacuzzi to relax. The atmosphere of the hotel itself is very tranquil, relaxing, and beautiful. We felt very well taken care of, all of the staff were friendly and attentive. Jay and Erick were some of the staff members we interacted with the most and they were very kind, helpful and personable. The property was stunning and very well maintained. Our experience here was so great the other stays we had after this one seemed lacking compared to Noahs. Definitely will be coming back here next time im in Costa Rica. If you are reading this review and are contemplating selecting this hotel, i hope you do, so that you get to experience the outstanding hospitality and ambiance we did during our stay.

We absolutely loved our stay. It was our best day in all Costa Rica. The property is absolutely gorgeous and it feels like you are in the middle of the jungle staying in luxury. But the absolute best part of this resort is the staff. We have travelled to many places and it is by far the best service we have ever experienced! Allan at the front desk is absolutely the best! We just want to keep sending him WhatsApp Messages because we miss talking to him every day. All of the bar and restaurants were fantastic… And the drinks and food were good too!

Stay at Noah’s
We had an amazing experience at Noah’s. Wow! We had a large room with a private hot tub. The pool was perfect and the kids loved the billiards table and hot chocolate machine. This is a private, relaxing place to stay with live music in the restaurant in the evenings. Wonderful food. Excellent service. Can’t recommend this enough!

Our stay at Noah's couldn't have been smoother. The property was peaceful and extremely welcoming. It felt like paradise. Alan and Anna were particularly helpful - they made sure our activities and transportation was always booked. They really went above and beyond to make sure we had the best stay possible.

We had a wonderful stay at Noah’s Forest by Tifakara. It is a small and very intimate resort. The grounds are immaculate and all of the staff are helpful and friendly. We really appreciated the self serve coffee machines as well as the complementary breakfast. With its location only 10 minutes from town it makes for a perfect stay in La Fortuna.

The best of our stay in this hotel was the outstanding and warm customer service we received from Anna, Arlen & Esperanza. That just made the stay outstanding and also the property and room were really nice same as the live music and food quality during dinner.

My husband and I had the best 4 nights staying at Noah’s Forest. The grounds are breathtaking. The place is so clean and every inch is so beautiful to look at. The rooms are very spacious, great AC, and accommodating. Each room has a TV with Netflix which was convenient for the moments we needed to rest after exploring all day. The staff are the most warming and genuine people. Esperanza, Kevin, and Erlen always had a smile on their face and make you feel like family. Since the hotel is small, the guests tend to greet everyone and have conversations. The breakfast was delicious with many options for different pallets. We enjoyed a day at the pool and was able to order good drinks at the bar. We even got to see a Sloth twice on the facility, which was so cool. The place is covered with greenery and plants, so make sure you apply bug spray! I would definitely recommend this hidden gem!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Noah's Forest in La Fortuna, and I cannot express enough how wonderful our experience was. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the serene beauty of the lush surroundings and the warm hospitality of the staff. One person who truly made our stay exceptional was Anna. She went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met. Her dedication to guest satisfaction is unparalleled. Anna helped us plan our activities, provided invaluable local insights, and even arranged special touches that made our stay unforgettable. Her friendly demeanor and willingness to assist at every turn made us feel like valued guests rather than just visitors. The accommodations at Noah's Forest are nothing short of spectacular. The rooms are beautifully designed, blending modern comfort with the natural beauty of the rainforest. Waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying a cup of coffee on the private balcony was a daily highlight. The amenities and services at Noah's Forest are top-notch. The on-site dining offered delicious, fresh meals, and the spa services provided a perfect way to unwind after a day of adventure. The pool area is a tranquil oasis, perfect for relaxation. We can't thank Anna and the entire team at Noah's Forest enough for making our stay so memorable. If you're looking for a place to stay in La Fortuna that offers both luxury and a deep connection to nature, look no further than Noah’s Forest.

We had a spectacular stay at Noah’s forest! Upon arrival the staff was so helpful to point out the sloths that were out on the property. The sloth tour was so educational and fun with our guide Allan. Allan was such a big help booking tours as well. The rooms were so clean and beautiful. Each one was perfectly secluded and private. The best part was the nature sounds you heard outside your window. We loved the cocktails at the resort, Arlen was a great bartender and server by the poolside and at the restaurant. The complimentary coffee bar was a plus, with great drink options. We can’t wait to come back to La Fortuna and Noah’s forest!

We loved our stay here! The Staff was so incredible! The bungalow we stayed in was so cute! We were able to see a sloth, some iguanas and a toucan! The restaurant was top notch and the wait staff makes you feel like family! We did not have a car but it was easy to arrange transportation to all of our outings and it’s just a quick Uber ride to the downtown area! I would highly recommend this lovely hotel!
