I felt right at home at Colibri Rouge! Mathieu and Perrine really went the extra mile to make me feel welcome, especially as a solo traveler I really appreciated our conversations.
The room was clean and modern, and having airco at this price point, how could you complain?? Of course if you're looking for a 5 star experience you will need to look for something else (and for a different budget..). This is a family run hotel, that offers one of the best price/quality ratio in the area.
I was offered countless tips and recommendations that were all spot on. In fact Perrine took care of arranging my activities, making sure you get quality guides and don't need to play roulette accepting random offers in town.
You're a little bit outside of Cahuita, which means you don't need to deal with being in town with all the tourists, but still very quick access to the parks, beaches, and restaurants. Bribri waterfalls and Puerto Viejo are also close by.
Breakfast was delicious and hand made. They also offer some drinks and souvenirs art the reception.
You can relax in the pool or jacuzzi after a long day hiking/swimming/sweating.
I definitely recommend if you're looking for a family style hotel that doesn't hurt the wallet.
Mathieu, Perrine, changez rien vous...
Read moreThis is the only time in all of Costa Rica I have left a bad review. And the only time in a long time I’ve been rude to a customer service person. I understand that my group did not follow all of the rules exactly but the hotel owner continued to bother us and gave us absolutely no slack. And then when we were an hour late for our check out which I understand isn’t great. But tico time is a thing and we are at the beach. But we came back to all of our stuff outside shoved in different bags no one knew where anything was and I confronted the hotel owner because I thought this was very unprofessional and she continued to watch over us as we searched through our stuff. She isn’t “unprofessional” but she put an open beer into a bag with a phone charger. Additionally the sign said she spoke English and she didn’t speak any at all. Her hotel is nice however it wasn’t worth the hassle to stay here. I have truly stayed in amazing places here but this is not...
Read moreMy husband, my 14 year old daughter Lucky and I stayed here in July 2021. It was amazing. The grounds are a source of pride for the owners, and understandably so. The road traffic is not as bad as most people say, the monkeys are what wake you. The privacy hedges really help with the traffic. Every morning the food was delicious and beautifully plated, and served at your schedule, which is great! Irina will offer laundry services at a great price. The rooms are a little small but the outside areas make up for that. Cleanliness is on the top of the list. You basically have run if the entire hotel. The community kitchen is very clean and maintained well. Perfect if you just want a romantic weekend, a getaway with the kids, or a family get together. We were not disappointed in anything at all. Irina and Aurelie are perfect,...
