This resort is amazing and I wish I was back there now. We only stayed here 2 nights of our 8 night stay in Costa Rica, but it was our favorite. We have a family of 4 and we stayed in a deluxe treehouse which fit us nicely. The grounds are beautiful and walkable and the staff is friendly. We were able to see multiple sloths and plenty of other wildlife. One afternoon, my teenaged daughter accidently left her wallet (with cash) in the restaurant, but it was kept safe by the staff (Luis) until she realized her mistake and retrieved it. We took the night tour with Victor and thoroughly enjoyed it, and we appreciated his passion about farming and sustainability. Also, the coffee is amazing. We ate all of our meals here and the food was fresh and delicious (I would personally recommend the farm to table casado and the breakfast omelet). Overall we recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing, quiet stay, close to nature with quality food and great staff.

A MUST experience. Staying in the treehouse is unique without giving up comfort, the surrounding area is lush and filled with wildlife, the restaurant serves good food. Doing the afternoon tour with Victor was great, especially his knowledge of plants, animals, birds and love of gardening for the restaurant.

Loved our stay. The place is kept beautifully, every one is very nice. There is one restaurant on premise, very good food. The big pool is refreshing, the hot springs are very cute. There are several sloths living in the property and the local guide was super helpful to show them to us. It was amazing to see them so close up. We stayed at la Iguana, real immersive experience and waking up in the morning in a quite and beautiful place was really nice. We had 2 kids under 10, and felt so safe. Also front desk was very helpful in providing information on tours and we ended up doing our own route as we had a rented car. We visited the volcano, around 35 to 40 min away. We all really loved our stay!

Had high hopes for this property judging by reviews and photos, however it did not live up to our expectations. Its set up is ok but it all looks quite tired. The pool is not attractive but guess functional for little kids. The thermal baths were definitely not attractive or nice. Tried water of one and was cold. The decor in the bungalow was tired and not much room to walk so very difficult to put down your suitcases. Shower didn't drain properly which was in the end sorted by the staff. At times there was a drain smell outside the bungalow. The restaurant was quite odd in my opinion. Food very average but quite expensive. I guess this can be compared to a tired Center Parcs (for those who are familiar with that), so probably ok if you have (very) little kids, but for us it wasn't what we wanted.

BED BUGS!! There were live bed bugs in the king bed in treehouse #2 when we stayed. I understand the property is in the jungle, but these were actual human parasitic bed bugs that were in the bed biting me, and I have videos and photos. When we smushed a couple of them, blood came out, similar to when you kill a mosquito. I realized at 11pm the first night and contacted reception immediately. He switched us to a smaller room however, the next day the manager only would refund one night, not the 2 that we booked. A full refund would’ve been the only way to fully remedy the bed bug issue, in my opinion. Other notes of the property: The second night, the electricity went out when we were showering/changing in the evening 4 times for a few minutes each time. And I’m not sure the “hot springs” are truly from the source, as the water in the first pool would run hot for a few minutes, then cold, and kept switching back and forth. The highlight was seeing a mother sloth with her baby and a toucan on the property trail. The restaurant food was good and generally the service around the property was also good.

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.

Cons *WiFi works only in the room *Daily power outages! (You sit in a hot spring and all the lights go off and water stops and this can happen every ten minutes) *Five cascading “hot springs”, only one hot and it’s small and the water alternates between hot and cold *hot springs work only since 2pm *round trip by taxi is $70 to/from La Fortuna (about $15 by uber from the town) *one way taxi shuttle from SJO airport is $175 *breakfast is served only for two hours 7:30-9:30 *Breakfast has a small selection and you can’t ask for anything extra. For example, the eggs platter comes only with one piece of bacon. Pancakes is a breakfast selection on its own. *If you book activities through reception they give you higher prices… (highly recommend booking directly with Maquique tours) *activities recommendation is not the best at reception, they don’t know what’s included in the activity *Safe box in the rooms doesn’t work, if you wanna keep your belongings safe you have to leave it at the reception (I didn’t) *theres no phone in the room, you have to use your phone to communicate with reception through WhatsApp *the pool is shallow *the walk from glass bungalows to the restaurant is very steep *theres no stores or pharmacies around so it would be nice to have something in the hotel like a little pharmacy for daily necessities Pros *Massage with Marivelle was amazing *Victor is really great at showing around hotel *smart TV *goats, sloths, chickens at hotel

We had a wonderful time at Hotel Heliconias recently. Me and my two best friends came to celebrate my 50th birthday and we can't say enough good things about this hotel, the staff and the exceptional service. From the moment we arrived we were taken care of by Diego and Alejandro. Check in was seamless, the rooms were clean and well equipped, the breakfast was scrumptious and believe me when I say this was the best breakfast of our entire week in Costa Rica. The service was impeccable. Alejandro took care of booking all of our excursions and made sure we felt at home. The owner Omar made the effort to welcome us to the hotel and provided fresh coconut water for us at the pool. Diego went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable with our stay. This hotel is different. It is quiet, peaceful, surrounded by natural beauty and you feel at home. I would definitely come back here next time I am in Costa Rica. Thank you for making our stay very memorable and special.
