Mundo Milo Eco Lodge — Hotel in Veintisiete de Abril

A wonderfully small (seven-unit) eco-lodge run by a very friendly and accommodating pair (Micheal and Lieke). ||They helped with efforts to arrange ground transport to the lodge and a fishing charter, provided helpful tips on local hiking trails, provided critical updates which allowed my wife and I to connect with a last-minute baby turtle release event, and even assisted by loaning me a personal copy of their Costa Rican bird book! The pool was beautiful, spotlessly clean, never crowded, and very refreshing. Unlike the water in many other pools, the chlorine content was well-balanced and not overwhelming.||Staff were charming and responsive. |Plastic was almost completely absent from the lodge (bring your own shampoo). Interestingly, the pathways were swept clean daily, NOT with a loud leaf blower, but rather manually via simple rake. We stayed in the Persian #1 unit, which included a covered patio (doubling as a bird watching blind).| |The included breakfast was substantial. While always incorporating a yogurt and a bowl of seasonal mixed fruit, one also could add a plate-sized pancake, eggs, and seasoned rice with black beans. | |For lunch, we often ordered a salad - which arrived with a garnish of finely spiral-cut carrots and beets, along with cucumbers (I enjoyed the grilled chicken addition). A carafe of H2O, with limes and mint was a nice option. ||Diners were fantastic! The beef tenderloin steak was nicely prepared (at $22 USD, it was the most expensive offering on the menu). Tuesday is sushi night and is a big draw (although the main menu is also available). It is obvious that the chef crafts each dish with...

I am beyond grateful for my stay in Mundo Milo. No words is enough to describe my humble experience. I came here with the intention of spending one night, away from home, to say the least- I am still here on day 3. From the minute I walked in Lieke (the owner) greeted my with. a smile & explained a few things about the suite I am stying in. Everything is so thoughtfully created to have this extraordinary experience to connect with nature & simplicity of life. While it may seem so simple, I couldn't help to notice the intentions and efforts behind every little thing that was placed to give guests the out pouring love that she carries in her heart. Michiel & Lieke are extremely thoughtful people, I am grateful to witness their true care and the hospitality of serving others. I have created a retreat name "Lalambari" to serve my purpose and I feel the Universe has guided me to experience this stay and to learn how Lieke & Michiel are doing what they love to do, and sharing their joy with others. This place is not only beautiful & welcoming, it is also full of nature & you will see all the beautiful singing birds around, the pool is stunning, food is out of this world. I am truly grateful for this incredible experience. Thank You Lieke & Michiel for doing what you do, a big thanks to all your staff as well. I intend to be back with my family and friends to share this...

This place is incredible! It was the perfect escape for a pre-Christmas getaway. Quite isolated, you'll need a car to get there but Lieke arranged our car hire for us before we arrived and the roads from San José were really easy to navigate with offline Google Maps.

The location is stunning and the beach is just a few minutes walk away. The beach is fairly deserted and is just beautiful. You can walk up the coast along a number of beautiful, quiet beaches and stop for a snorkel along the way and a bite to eat in Playa Negra, or further up the coast.

They have a great turtle conservation project on the doorstep and Lieke woke us up early one morning to let us know they would be releasing baby turtles that morning, which was a bucket list experience to tick off!

Lieke and Michiel were such attentive hosts and were always on hand to advise and answer any questions and point us in the right direction. The food at the hotel is incredible and sushi Tuesdays are a must! The breakfast was also fantastic and is served til late which is rare but appreciated.

I can't recommend this place enough. A fab place to relax, unwind and...
