We stayed at the Costa Rica Tree House Lodge (the tree house building) for two nights in May 2012. This is like a child's fantasy of a hotel room, with trees sprouting up from the floor, a toilet inside a tree trunk, and suspension bridges connecting the master bedroom to the main living area. The unit has a full kitchen,... More

I have to say the saving grace of this hotel was the staff. They were very concerned with our well-being. When we arrived, there wasn't anyone there to greet us or point us in the tight direction. No reception area was available. Our bus driver finally tracked someone down who was working on another house on the property. He came... More

We spent two nights at the Tree House Lodge in Puerto Viejo. While I have been to many of the "surf towns" on the Pacific side as well as up and down the Nicoya Peninsula....... I must say that I like Puerto Viejo the best. Very charming and authentic. Fabulous restaurants, touristy ( but cool) shops to fulfill that "inner... More

We stayed at the Beach House for three nights in October. What an absolutely amazing place. If you like wood and interesting architecture, you will love this place. If you are looking for an airconditioned motel with TV and a Marriott hotel experience, this is not the place. It is beautiful, unique and very private. The house itself is a... More

We stayed at the Beach House for three nights. This is nice luxury private accommodation in a secluded spot near the beach (no swimming possible here) near the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. The Punte Uva beach is a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute drive with excellent swimming. Layout of the Beach House is quirky to say the least. Best... More

I appreciate your comment, however want to specify a few details. First off all the beach house indeed is build to sleep up to 5 people, but is always recommended to just sleep two. The downstairs bedroom is in the living room, so not comfortable for everybody to share. Less than a month ago the beach house has been completely... More

We just returned from our honeymoon at the Tree House (we stayed in the actual tree house). You really are in nature-- we had sloths, monkeys, giant spiders, bats and all sorts of other small animals near and in the house. The house itself is gorgeous, the beaches nearby are stunning and the staff and owner Edsart couldn't have been... More

recently stayed at the Costa Rica Tree House Lodge. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. If you need anything or just need help arranging a tour, ride to the airport or a restaurant recommendation they will handle it for you. This was our first trip to the area and questions inevitably come up. They were invaluable in their assistance.... More

We loved staying in the tree house. It was a very cool experience. The staff is great and always helpful. The gardens are really pretty to walk around. We had a sloth in the tree next to the tree house, so being able to watch it was very cool. I would for sure stay here again. More

We had the pleasure of staying at the Tree House Lodge’s whimsical “Beach Suite” from December 1-5, 2011 as part of our Costa Rican honeymoon adventure. Puerto Viejo turned out to be our favourite spot in Costa Rica thanks in part to our stay at the Tree House Lodge. Puerto Viejo is the opposite of your all-inclusive beach destination -... More

The Tree house Lodge is a most unusual and pleasant place to stay. We stayed at the Tree House itself, one of four rental houses on the property. All the houses are very secluded and you are largely unaware of anyone being in the area. Almost everything in the Tree House is totally open to the outside (including the large... More
