We stayed at Kokoro in May of 2013 and were so impressed! The staff made the hotel spectacular as they went out of their way to help in any way possible. Definitely recommend this hotel, Fernando is the best! The only downside is it the location as it costs about $8-10 each way to get downtown.

We were so pleased with our visit to Hotel Kokoro! The staff was super-friendly and knowledgable and helped us immensely with choosing, and coordinating our excursions- all of which were excellent! The breakfast was fresh, very delicious and huge, with exceptional service. The coffee was the best we have had in CR...beautiful grounds, pool and thermal springs... We are so... More

Family stayed here two nights in April and loved it. It was our first time in the area and hadn't pre-booked any activities so we needed a lot of help figuring out which ones to do. The reception desk guys were amazingly welcoming, knowledgeable, and patient as we asked them question after question after question. For our canopy tour, we... More

My friends and I only had the opportunity to stay here one night but it was well worth it! Friendly staff and very well appointed rooms (with a great view from the patio!), Great value here and a very quick drive to Arenal. Highly recommend.

Kokoro was by far the best hotel I've ever stayed at (even better than any 5 star resort) because of the entire experience! The people are what makes it the best! They go above and beyond to make your stay feel comfortable and like you are family. They help you book tours and have great recommendations for what to do... More

This lodge has it all! Great rooms at affordable prices. Located on an amazing piece of property with tons of animals! Great for families. When in La Fortuna, you have to ask for a tour with Giovanni. He is a local tour guide who knows when and where to find any animals! His tour is just amazing! And very affordable.

We just returned from an incredible 10 day Costa Rica trip (Arenal, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio) planned through Catalina at CR Referrals (highly recommended). We are a family of 3 including our adult daughter. We were looking for nice but not extravagant hotels with a spacious room to accommodate the 3 of us. Plus an additional challenge of Easter week and... More

From the second we arrived the treatment was five star. The cabins are rustic but very clean. This is a family run hotel so there is a personal service that you get here that you won't get a larger resort. Todd, Amanda and Felico were extremely helpful in planning our excursions which made them ever more enjoyable. The breakfast and... More

My family had an incredible stay here. The owners and all the workers were so nice and extremely helpful - they gave us recommendations of all the attractions in the area, made sure all of our needs were met, and helped us feel very welcome in Costa Rica. The hotel itself is beautiful! It seems like its own private rainforest,... More
