We stayed in Laurel house, which was very spacious with a large yard that included 2 hammocks. The view is beautiful and Tucans would perch up in the trees each morning. Santa Juana lodge in general is a beautiful, secluded and well maintained property. For something to do, there is a 45 min path through the jungle that we took on our own. And of course there are excursions you can book, including a longer guided walk that leads to a beautiful waterfall spot that was a lot of fun jumping into and swimming in. Alan is a great guide who will point out numerous birds and other notable biodiversity along the way. The food at the lodge is very tasty. Not much variety day over day, but that didn’t bother us much over a 3 day stay. You can also buy wine, beer and other drinks as well. The pool was also nice to have, we used it a few times. Overall, highly recommend.

Fantastic place, great service, and a perfect spot to enjoy the mountain/forest/jungle area above Manuel Antonio. We enjoyed this place more than the reserve at the bottom of the mountain. Waterfalls, nice hiking trails, super cute rooms with incredible views.

This was the best place we’ve stayed in Costa Rica. The lodge was beautiful and clean. We saw toucans each morning at sunrise and the ground are stunning. The highlight was hiking to the waterfall. Would recommend staying here to anyone travelling to Costa Rica. The food was authentic, filling and lovely.
