The staff was incredible. I’ve never felt so welcomed and appreciated as a guest. The property is stunning with glorious views and the nature walk area was amazing.

Overall we enjoyed our time at this place. Unfortunately, perhaps due to off season, we did not find several places around the resort closed, for example bar at the pool.
There were construction going on around the resort, which also seemed unsightly.
Cleaning service was not that great. Our room was not cleaned properly and we could find dirt and hair balls in the washroom and around the room. This was disappointing.
Washroom could use some shelves to place our shampoo and stuff, we had place all that on the floor.
Front office staff was very helpful and totally took care of us and for that we are grateful.
Breakfast was included, but it was not that much. But the staff and management was very kind and allow us to orders extra portion and that was greatly appreciated.
All in all, it is a good resort and I am sure that in main tourist season they would be much better in their ambiance and other services.
Thank you for making our stay and memorable one. My family did have a very good time.

There was no available wifi. The a/c needed to be maintained- it was very loud.

Beautiful family run resort . We stayed in the Deluxe Treehouse and it was wonderful up in the treetops! Hot springs were perfect on the property within walking distance .
Restaurant was under roof open air and the food was delicious . The owners Omar and Alejandro were so friendly. Jimmy was a great server and told us a lot about the animals ,flowers and island Such a wonderful Costa Rican slice of paradise !Thank you for sharing your property with us

This place is pretty special. It is a small, low key resort. My son wanted to stay close to the pool, so we stayed in a standard room. The room wasn't great. The beds were hard, it could use a refresh, the air conditioner was loud, and there was no soundproofing. If we had picked one of the bungalows or treehouses, I likely would have given the place 5 stars. It is a nice alternative away from the hustle and bustle of La Fortuna but still close to lots of attractions.
4.0
Overall the property was beautiful and lots of wildlife surrounding. Staff were always pleasant. Breakfast options were decent. Our only two complaints are the beds/pillows and the bugs in our room.Extremely hard and uncomfortable bedding and the large amount of bugs in our treehouse. Not sure if the cleaning crew left the doors open while they cleaned or if they managed to enter through the small openings but our last night in the tree house has several bugs that night.

Loved it!

We enjoyed our stay. The restaurant was excellent along with the service. There is a pond next to the restaurant where you can see the fish, ducks and wildlife. The owner visited with us and was very friendly. It is a family affair each son works in a different area. The breakfast was included and was very nice. The gardens are beautiful as well as the vegetable garden they have on site. We would recommend this hotel.

Beautiful resort. Pool was nice and hot springs are lovely. Really enjoyed the opportunity to explore paths on the property and see flora and fauna (we saw a sloth on the first day, toucans, parakeets, and much more). We stayed in the treehouse and it was a wonderful treat. Would stay again here.

We loved this hotel! Kids had a blast with the hammocks and hot springs!
Only recommendation would be to have stronger AC. Room was very warm when we checked in and took a while to cool down.
5.0
We stayed in a glass bungalow, which had glass walls on three sides. It was really an incredible experience. The people there were so helpful and friendly. The Hot Springs pools was a really unique experience. We would definitely go back.
5.0
We had a wonderful stay at Heliconias. The bungalows were clean with plenty of privacy. We didn’t get to spend a lot of time there because we were out a lot on tours but Diego made us the best Piña Coladas every evening while we enjoyed the hot springs. He works very hard and you will find him running around from one job to another and always has a smile on his face. This place is lucky to have him as part of their staff. We will definitely return.

The property is a little slice of paradise. It is very relaxing. There is a soccer field for the kids to play soccer. The staff is amazing and friendly. Jimmy even played soccer with my son. I highly recommend staying here!

This was really, really a fun place for us! We stayed in the deluxe Treehouse #1. The treehouse and the grounds were just wonderful. The staff was super friendly, the treehouse was clean and SO COOL with all the glass windows. The meals were excellent. We loved the pool and hot spring tubs. Highly recommend!
2.5
The staff here is great. They are easily accessible and so willing to help with your experience on and off the property. They are very knowledgeable and added to the experience. The kids loved how much nature there was around we stayed in the deluxe bungalow which backed on to nothing out trees and they loved the hammocks. There is a walking trail that’s great for a quick morning hike right on the site. Have the Pinto Gallo for breakfast in the morning!
2.5
The service was fantastic, the rooms are beautiful and they thought of everything, right down to soft blankets to snuggle with in the hammocks. We loved the walking paths, the hot springs, the breakfast was fantastic, we loved our stay and would love to come back!
2.0
I heat to say something negative about the guys there because they are nice but so clumsy and neglectful.
3 time we needed a ride in the heavy rain no one respond and their is a voice mail no even identifying the hotel , room condition is bad . Do not lean on the sink you will get heart . every thing looks like it was put on cheaply. mosquito protection is poor! My advice if you need to pay $60 or less you are fine ! If you pay more have been taken for a ride (we paid $240).
2.5
Amazing treehouse and staff. Our kids had an incredible time exploring. We saw toucans right on the property. The drive to the resort is scenic and we found it enjoyable, so much to see and great sodas and markets along the way.
2.5
A beautiful property with a pool and hot springs in a natural location. The bird life is amazing. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The food was delicious, especially the included breakfast. Alejandro at the front desk was very helpful in making our transportation arrangements and ensuring our stsy was very enjoyable

Beautiful property with well maintained gardens and walking trails. Only disappointment was that the hot springs water was cold in multiple occasions
5.0
Such a relaxing and wonderful stay at Heliconias for our honeymoon. The glass bungalow was quiet and romantic and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. They were immediately responsive to all of our questions on WhatsApp and scheduled interesting tours and transportation (night walk and farm tour on the property, chocolate making tour at a neighbouring farm and safari river float were all excellent and worth the cost). On site hot springs were lovely (but only open in the evenings). Truly a great place can’t wait to come back

This place is magica! So worth the trip to visit

Area around property is good but the property itself is not up to the standards. Toilet stopped working. I stayed with my family and felt like bathrooms were not clean. It was just OK. Breakfast was not great and have very few options. Though they say it is buffet breakfast it is limited to juices, fruites and coffee. Overall not great. Will not come again.

Nice quiet experience. Very friendly staff restaurant was very good.
Would have been nice to have better location to store luggage, and personal items in the suites.

First rate! Our favourite place of our entire trip. Beautiful and well-appointed bungalows, the setting is amazing, and the staff is fantastic.

Property was perfect for us as we were looking to spend time in nature away from the city where we could enjoy peace and quiet.

The Heliconias Nature Inn is contained on a beautiful property. While the accommodations are fancy, they are more than adequate - after all, we were in a tree house! The thing that made our trip was the staff. I got a 24 hour stomach bug and was quite ill - all of the guys checked in and went above and beyond to assist, including bringing crackers and Gatorade, chicken soup, and fresh coconut water, which according to Tavo, helps cure everything! Can't say enough about the staff, location and spaces. Next time, we will likely choose a bungalow - and we do hope for a return visit!

We had a very pleasant 5 night stay in a glass bungalow. It was lovely to wake up in the morning and listen to birds in our hammocks on the porch. We liked the glass bungalows. comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms, basic amenities. The only issue was that we couldn’t operate the fan because the in and off cord was missing. Breakfast in the open air restaurant was good-mostly eggs american style. It would have been nice to also have continental style pastries and cereal. Staff are friendly and responsive. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained.
2.5
Heliconias Nature Inn exceeded our expectations in terms of how beautiful the grounds and our glass bungalow were. The breakfast options were filling and tasty. The service at the front desk and the restaurant was always prompt and friendly. If we ever make it back to CR we would be thrilled to stay at this property again.
4.0
Property was great overall.
Only commentary is we found the restaurant lacking. Menu was boring, food was only ok. We ate there once only wasn't to our liking

We loved our stay at Heliconias Nature Inn. The bungalows were clean and had a wall of glass to view the jungle. The grounds were peaceful and well maintained. The restaurant on site was very good and convenient. We would definitely stay here again.

This place was amazing!! Highly recommend. We went in the off season, and pretty much had the place to ourselves. The staff is incredibly friendly and the property is beautiful. Not much to do at the resort, but we went for the tranquil setting, so we were not disappointed. Enjoyed mother nature to the fullest. Very private lodgings. Ask for Lizano sauce with your meal!

We just returned from a 2 week stay in Costa Rica. We spent 5 of those nights at Heliconias. Our treehouse was amazing! The breakfast that was included was delicious. It was so relaxing and peaceful there. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Alejandro and Diego helped us with anything and everything we needed. We will definitely return here.
5.0
This is about 20-25 min driving distance from La fortuna. Best Location. Very quite and safe. Lot of small restaurants on the way to La Fortuna , Very economical and great food. Easy car parking and great restaurant on the property. You are away from La Fortuna but not that far. You get best of both . Tree house is awesome.

Overall I was pleased with the place - this was a last minute booking.
