Alojamientos vacacionales en Bijagua de Upala

The place was fucken amazing. The allowed us to check in early as I drove there directly from the airport and arrived at 4am. I would definitely recommend driving when there is sun. The road is on the side of a mountain and at times we’re a little scary. But the place itself was superb. The vila was nice and the view was great. I would say the only thing was there was no AC and as a person from Canada it could get pretty hot in the morning. Other than that I love it.

This is a magical home in a quiet location with beautiful surroundings. The host is very kind and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again.

Tonyia and Rod's place was a peaceful retreat. In the mornings we drank coffee on the patio while watching toucans in the trees. In the evenings we soaked in the hot tub after a long day of hiking. The home was spotless and well designed. I loved the special touches like fresh flowers and coffee/ spices already provided. We tried several of our hosts' restaurant recommendations and all were outstanding. Be aware that the road from the town to the house is rough gravel. We got used to it but a sturdy car is recommended!

Excelente lugar, muy privado y cerca del centro. La atención del anfitrión fue sumamente rápida y de gran servicio, definitivamente volvería!

Excellent stay! Very modern home. Definitely met my high standards. Recommended.

Stayed here for two nights and so I only used the bed and shower, but Ivette and Javier were very welcoming and kind during this time. Ivette greeted me with a fresh coconut and showed me around the property - the pool and jacuzzi would have been used if I was here for a week, but unfortunately this was a short stay. The view from the house was beautiful (could see Arenal and overlooked the pool). I was happy the bedroom had an AC unit, because the area does get toasty. The first night there were alternating bird, monkey, and dog noises that made it difficult to sleep, but the neighborhood was quieter on the second night. In the morning, Javier brought a coconut pastry and cut fruit before heading off to work and that was the perfect start to the day before I headed out myself. It was about 30 mins to Mistico Park and Sky Adventures. Dinner was at El Chante Verde both nights and it was great. There’s a market nearby with coffee and empanadas. I walked to both.

Magnifique appartement super bien situé. Le nettoyage était impeccable! Les extérieurs étaient exceptionnels, juste à côté de la forêt. On pouvait voir plusieurs beaux oiseau. La cuisine était très bien équipée, ce qui est très pratique quand on y demeure quelques jours. Il faut seulement être conscient que comme c’est un revêtement de vous, quand il pleut beaucoup, il peut s’en dégager un odeur particulière mais on s’habitue rapidement. Les hôtes ont été très gentils et accueillants !

Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cette maison en retrait du village de Santa Elena. Nous avons été accueillis par des hôtes chaleureux qui ont répondu à toutes nos questions. La maison était charmante et confortable. La vue au loin du golfe de Nicoya et la forêt tout proche sont dignes de mention. Nous recommandons fortement cette maison située à proximité de la luxuriante forét humide et à pied, des restaurants de Santa Elena.

We enjoyed our stay! It's a nice, clean home with scenic views in an authentic, safe community. We bought a few basics for breakfast (eggs, queso blanco, milk, coffee, juice) at the nearby community mini-market (a few blocks away) so we could make breakfast at the place. If you want fresh fruits & veggies, you should stop at a bigger market on your way (La Fortuna? Or El Castillo?). We ate dinner twice at the nearby La Terraza restaurant, which was good. We loved the batidos de fruta (fruit smoothies/shakes - 'de leche' ('of milk') . My favorite is the batido de papaya (de leche). My kids also tried the strawberry, pineapple, maracuya (and I think others, too!). We enjoyed the dishes we had there, too. Internet at the house can be spotty, but there's some cell reception, too. If you're on vacation and just checking your email from time to time and researching things to do in the area, it's fine; if you're looking to be a digital nomad, this is probably not the place for you.
