After arriving into San Jose in the evening we chose to go straight out to the rainforest for our first night. We arrived in the dark but the staff were on hand to meet us at 10pm. We were taking to an accessible room which was up a slight hill but not very far to walk (my mum uses crutches but managed fairly easily). The room while simple had everything we needed and was comfortable for our first night. In the morning we woke up in the middle of the rainforest with a private veranda to admire sights and sounds. Breakfast was a tasty Costa Rican breakfast served in a lovely open air restaurant. We were lucky enough to see a sloth, toucan and hummingbird all before we’d sat down. Staff were very pleasant and our nature guide Marcus was very knowledgeable and welcoming throughout our stay. The Aerial Tramway is quite magical and the butterflies and hummingbirds were beautiful too. I would highly recommend this lodge as a great alternative to staying in San Jose on arrival into Costa Rica. The drive is only about an hour from the airport so not much more than getting through city traffic and the view when you wake up is way more interesting.

The beds in our room were comfortable. We stayed for 3 nights and they never changed towels or emptied the waste baskets, where used toilet paper goes. Because of the humidity the towels never dry so a daily change is suggested. The food in the restaurant is really sub standard and there is nowhere else to eat there. Service in the restaurant is very slow, even when there is only 3 tables in use. The wait staff are very disorganized. There is not a whole lot to do at Tapirs Lodge. I would not stay there again

This is a nice place to unwind for one or 2 nights. Rustic lodge, pillows and sheets need update. I like the gondola, you can really hear the trucks from the hwy. eventhough they are inside the forest.

You are out in the middle of a National Park. That is going to appeal to some and seem bad to others. There is one gift shop, one restaurant, etc., but I like getting to make friends with the staff and the scenery and unique beauty is what I came for.

Basic room in forest. Only seating is on porch. Some windows are glass, others screens. Even being a mile off the main highway, truck engines were louder than most insects. And you can sometimes hear snoring from other rooms.
Convenient location if you want to use the tram/zips or hike in the national park up the road.
Dining for dinner was pretty good, though only tried vegi pasta and steak. Breakfast was 7:30-9:30 and had several menu options including eggs or pancakes.
Birders seemed to find a lot of interesting birds. I only saw a few toucans.

Lots off green around, but the room was old and nothing inside 1 bed and 2 night table, no A/C a old ceiling fan moving humidity around the room. Even saying it is a Park you could listen to track using their Jacob Brake the whole time day and night. Cracking floor and a toilet you pray before flushing never know the result. And the restaurant forget it they don’t even have a bottle of Vodka to serve you a drink.

This place is so beautiful! If you are looking for a place away from everything , this is it. Rooms are clean, property is well maintained clean staff is so friendly. Some of the things I didn’t care for , was there is no way to get coffee first thing in the morning. Not everyone waits till 730 to get coffee . The other issue I had with the property is that it’s a one way road to get in and out. In the early morning and late at night they had nobody there to let you out. Reception should be there 24/7
