My partner and I recently had the most incredible experience at Rancho de Lelo , nestled in the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the serene beauty of the lush surroundings and the warm hospitality of the staff.
The lodge itself is a true gem, seamlessly blending with its natural environment. Our secluded cabin was beautifully appointed, offering breathtaking views of the mountain range and the soothing sounds of wildlife all around us. We felt a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, yet we were still treated to great amenities and exceptional service.
Every meal at the lodge was a culinary delight, featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a delightful fusion of Costa Rican flavors.
One of the highlights of our stay was driving up to Monte Verde. From hikes through the jungle to some really cool local shops and restaurants there.
What truly sets them apart is the genuine care and attention to detail provided by the staff. From the moment we made our reservation to the day we departed, they went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was great!

This property was very nice with clean and high quality cabins and a great breakfast and environment. There were beautiful ponds with fish surrounded with coconut trees and a variety of other plants.
However, ensure you drive to this property from Sta. Elena road and go north, this is a smoother and shorter route. DO NOT go south from 606, the road there is very rough and rocky.

The owners closed the kitchen to guests and we discovered that when we arrived at dusk. They expected us to drive 45-60 minutes to the nearest restaurant in the dark and torrential downpours.
The ranch is located at the bottom of an extremely steep 4x4 road (20 minutes from Monteverde). It’s very difficult to access and very inconveniently located.
This was the worst experience of our trips throughout Costa Rica.

The staff was so friendly and helpful, the property was beautiful and the breakfast was lovely. The road to drive into the property, however, was very bumpy, steep and treacherous at times. Be sure to have an SUV or 4WD vehicle. Beautiful place overall.

Cute little cabins with a small deck and sliding glass door. Beds were comfortable. There is no air conditioning, but they did supply a fan which helped. It was about 15 minute drive on a rough dirt road to Monteverde cloud forest biological reserve, which meant it was quiet and peaceful. Included breakfast was delicious with options such as typical Tico breakfast, eggs and toast, or pancakes. The pool is tiny. Staff were super responsive.
They run their own tilapia farm here. We ate at the onsite restaurant for dinner. A bit pricey but we watched them bring our fish fresh from the farm. Can't beat the freshness!

This was one of our favorite places in Costa Rica. An amazing property in the valley surrounded by the beauty of the mountains. The family that runs the place is so friendly, yet professional. We had to leave on a tour before breakfast, they made a sandwich and cut fruit to take with us. We also went on a night tour with Joseph, who also lives on the farm. It was by far the most informative tour, and we saw so many animals from toucans to vipers to sloths, and of course we’re blessed by the quetzal. The kids adored Bronco, the german Sheppard that slept outside our cabin window and greeted us daily. He is one of the smartest and nicest dogs we ever met. So connected with nature, your soul just opens up! A definite must when in Monte Verde.
