Top San Francisco Hotel Reviews

Noah's Forest by Tifakara

Noah's Forest by Tifakara

10/10 Excellent
"I came to Noah’s Forest to rest, sleep, recharge and explore the nearby rainforest. Wow it was just the perfect place! This place has a so beautiful with the lush landscaping. They have a “sloth walk” jungle area and I spent a lot of time there just listening to the sounds of nature. The restaurant is probably the best in the area (I especially like the Costa Rican lunch dishes). The best part was the staff, especially Jeisson, Oscar and Cristal."
