    beautiful gardens
    friendly staff
    wildlife experiences
    basic room
    cramped bathroom

    I had such a delightful stay at Ara Ambigua Lodge! The stunning gardens were alive with wildlife like red-eyed tree frogs and colorful birds, making breakfast a truly magical experience. The staff were so friendly, attending to our needs with a smile and making our time even more enjoyable.

    Room was basic.

    spacious bungalows
    open-air dining
    outdated furnishings

    The bungalows offered plenty of space, and the hot showers delivered consistent, satisfying warmth after a day exposed to nature. An open-air dining area kept things relaxed, with wild birds regularly stopping by to entertain with their antics.

    Room furnishings resembled a mismatched collection of yard sale finds, lacking the charm and quality expected at this price point. For two consecutive days, there was an electricity outage due to maintenance, which was inconvenient and not communicated prior to arrival. Also, the laundry service promised was nonexistent, which threw a wrench in mid-trip laundry plans.

    beautiful pools
    delicious food
    outdoor area
    spotty wifi

    Had a nice time soaking in the beautiful pools and enjoying the tasty pizza we ordered for dinner. The outdoor pool area was perfect for lounging after a day of hiking. Just a heads up, the WiFi was spotty, but it didn't take away from our overall fun! 🌴

    nature immersion
    friendly staff
    diminished charm
    inadequate breakfast
    key confusion

    The large hotel is beautifully immersed in nature, with plenty of walking trails to spot diverse wildlife, including remarkable birds during breakfast. The friendly staff were accommodating, assisting with local activities. However, the charm seems diminished after its expansion. the absence of bird feeders was disappointing. An early checkout was marred by an inadequate packed breakfast and confusion regarding the room key, which left a negative impression.

    wildlife experience

    Ideal for adventure lovers

    The wildlife is everywhere! I saw howler monkeys and green macaws. The trails were very nice, a gem for nature enthusiasts like me.

    It wasn't exactly cheap but still acceptable.

    lush gardens
    inviting pool
    dated room
    musty smell
    missing toiletries

    The vibrant gardens were a highlight, filled with diverse wildlife, creating a stunning backdrop for breakfast. The pool area was inviting, although the limited shaded seating made lounging difficult at times. However, the room felt dated, with a musty smell upon arrival, and it lacked basic bath amenities like shampoo and bar soap, which detracted from the overall experience.
