Family hotels and homes in Guacimal

We loved being in the middle of nature, the tranquility, sitting on the terrace watching the birds.

The staff was super friendly, helpfull and enthousiast. The food was great for a reasonable price.

The villa is located in the countryside and so every moment is filled with fresh air, butterflies and bird song. Sitting in the hot tub looking across the cloud-filled hills is a treat not to be missed. The villa itself was spacious, immaculately clean and had everything you need, thoughtfully provided by the owners, including a dehumidifier, Netflix, a kettle etc. The attractions of Santa Elena and Monteverde are close by and are easily accessible. Communication with the owners was excellent - friendly and helpful throughout. This is a wonderful villa and we highly recommend it.

It's a very cozy place with an amazing view.

The apartment was great, clean , spacious with a beautiful garden. Just 5 min from Santa Teresa with the car but you can even walk to the city! Super nice hosts, everything was perfect! Totally recommend it! 😊

The best Homestay we went to during our time in Costa Rica. I would like to point out that Sergio is a very nice guy. Very helpful and kind. We can highly recommend it!

Rooms were nice, simply a place to stay, but what made the visit amazing was Lili She was incredible, gave us great tips, discounted tours, cooked breakfast and was such a nice and wonderful soul to be around. The house is a 10 minute walk from the city center of Santa Elena but the stay was really nice and I loved that there was a kitchen too

This was my favorite part of my trip in Costa Rica. It is magical here and I hope I have that chance to visit again. My only regret is not staying longer. I had the breakfast one morning, which was lovely. The facilities are minimal. This is easily managed if planned for. There is no fridge in the little pod I stayed in, but there is a microwave. The microwave was enough for me to have a couple small meals. People have mentioned more counter space would be nice. I found it good enough. I had my things organized under the bed. Having the travel packing pods was useful. It is remote, and I suggest bringing in your own drinking water. I didn't get sick or anything, but as a precaution, that is my advice. There are lovely outdoor seating areas. I traveled with a small collapsible chair. It was great for this location, as well as when I visited beaches in other parts of the country. There are great knock off versions of the helinox chairs. If you bring one for your trip you won't regret it. This place is very special, and I offer these little tips so that you can enjoy this accommodation as much as I have. I cannot express enough how beautiful and magical the location is with the surrounding jungle covered mountains. For context. I am a solo female traveler. I felt very safe in this remote location. I had a suv rental from Adobe (very excellent car rental). I didn't need the 4wd, but had it been raining, then I likely would have used it a bit. Definitely need the high clearance on the vehicle. There was only 1 spot that required the clearance when i visited. I used the downhill assist when driving into the valley. That was very useful, and easier on the brakes. Driving back from Santa Elena in the dark was fine for me. Thank you to the hosts for having such beautiful and unique accommodations.

We absolutely loved the place. The Tiny house is modern and has everything you might want including a hot tub and a fire place. The views from the observation platform are incredible. The hosts were really friendly and have thought of every to the smallest detail. They even left us fresh eggs, milk and juice, coke and beer and a bottle of bubbly which was a welcome surprise. Highly recommend the Amalu resort.

Very friendly and responsive host. Very comfortable cabin the enough room and furniture for all 4 of us to be comfortable. It was clean and bright and had amazing views.
