"Our stay at La Anita was the highlight of our two week trip traveling throughout Costa Rica. Pablo, the owner, is a superb and gracious host who pays the utmost attention to every minute detail. We were shown impeccable hospitality and made to feel welcomed and extremely comfortable. The chocolate tour was over the top!"

"I chose this hotel due to it's proximity to the Liberia airport. I wasn't finished acquiring my rental car until 1700 hrs and did not want to drive 3 or 4 more hours to La Fortuna or Monteverde. It served as my base for Lake Arenal Catamaran tour, Viento Fresco waterfall hike (which is changing it's name to Manakin Waterfall Nature Reserve), and a day at Treetopia hanginging bridges in Monteverde. The hot tub was a great way to relax after a days adventure. You could even pull off a Scandanavian type spa treatment alternating the hot tub and the cool pool for a hot/cold treatment. There are water activities, such as windsurfing and kayaking nearby on Lake Arenal. The hotel also has a beautiful view of Lake Arenal and has a 1 km hiking trail on it's property. The gardens around the hotel are amazing. The brewery was the first brewery in Costa Rica. The owner JP and his son are the brewers and JP has achieved Master of Brewing Art. He will gladly give you a tour of the brewery. Allison and Jose were very friendly bartenders, both speaking good english. Allison makes an excellent spicy margarita. All the staff were excellent,the rooms were clean, and the bed was very comfortable. All in all it was a very good stay."

"Room was clean, bedsheets were soft, food was delicious and staff were wonderful. Front staff were fabulous and helped arrange rides into town a few times. As an asthmatic, the first hike up to my room was a bit wild, but it was totally worth the view from my hammock. This location is truly something special."

"This place felt like home ❤️ Kind staff. It was so easy to relax and listen to the wildlife. Breakfast was delicious and the grounds were kept clean and tidy. My children fell absolutely in love with the resident dog and never wanted to leave."

"Spotlessly clean room. Beautiful view for nature and sunset. Very cute bungalow. Comfortable bed. Nice breakfast included."

"The surrounding landscape and amenities were great, the dome tent that you can rent is awesome with a great view. The fact that it is far away from the touristy areas and still has ziplining/horseback riding/hiking/dining area make it a very good getaway."

"Spotless room with wonderful bed, lovely amenities (coffee/coffee maker, glass drinking glasses, mini fridge) and friendly, gracious staff in every position throughout the property. The pools were relaxing and/or rejuvenating (depending on the temperature), the grounds are beautifully maintained and the food is plentiful and delicious. Thank you for a lovely and relaxing stay!
