Tierras Morenas Vacation Packages

Breakfast was very good and on time. Try the banana pancakes. Staff was very helpful and toured their farm and coffee plantation. The hikes on property were great and the cloud forest experience could not be better. The rooms are sparse but great for the experience. No AC but was not needed.

My family and I had a great stay here! JP and his associates welcomed us and made us feel at home. Complimentary breakfast was great and the other meals were delicious. The room itself was great given you are in the jungle, so there was no a/c and typical sugar ants but nothing unexpected. The pool and the views were gorgeous. The hot tub was down while we were there but it wasn’t missed. We took advantage of the Lake Tour and La Tia’s massage services which were both worth the money. We traveled to La Fortuna and used a shuttle service that picked us up right from the hotel. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!

Very new hotel in excellent condition. Very clean room and helpful staff. Wifi is quite weak in the room. Meals are okay but not in par with the room price.

My 2 kids (9yo, 11yo) and I went to Rancho Margot for 5 days seeking an immersive experience at a sustainable working farm in the rainforest, near Arenal. It’s about 30 min from La Fortuna. And we got it! We loved it. We experienced what a circular economy looks like, and how it can work. We enjoyed their fascinating workshops on how to make soap, chocolate, and cheese (queso fresco). We swam in their lovely pool. We also did zip lining and thermal springs off-site. Their food is so good and fresh and healthy and grown on the farm, or locally sourced. Breakfast is included. Lunch and dinner can be purchased their which we HIGHLY recommend. More importantly, we made friends for life. If you choose Rancho Margot, you must manage expectations: - There will be a few bugs in your room. - There will be mosquitos so buy natural repellants with eucalyptus oil, and then learn how to crush the farm’s citronella leaves to then apply the oil on your skin - it works! We found out like a day too late LOL). - It does rain quite a bit. - It is warm and can be humid. - Things can stay damp. - Rooms are made from lovely wood and have what you need but there is no TV or ac. There is WiFi. - They will show you how to use the thick curtains to sleep at night and can provide mosquito nets upon request. This is NOT a resort or an American style hotel if that is what you want or seek. This is a working farm that is energy self-sufficient, fed by almost pure water. It is a treasure.

Location & Property The hotel is conveniently located if you are visiting Tenorio Volcano and Río Celeste, although it is not right next to the main road. You have to drive about 10 minutes from the main road to reach the property. There are no shops or restaurants nearby, so if you don't plan to have dinner at the hotel, you'll need to drive back to the main road to find somewhere to eat. The property consists of several houses surrounded by gardens and jungle, creating a very peaceful and natural setting. Room Our room was spacious and bright, located in one of the buildings on the property. It was very basic, with a couple of beds, a bathroom, and not much else. It was clean, although the beds were not particularly comfortable. There was no TV or fridge, but the room did have air conditioning. The bathroom was also clean and functional, with a shower and basic toiletries. Breakfast Breakfast was served in a small restaurant and was OK, with a selection of both hot and cold options. Facilities & Surroundings The best part of our stay was the beautiful natural surroundings. We were completely surrounded by gardens and jungle, in very quiet and peaceful surroundings. You could hear and see nature everywhere. There was also a nice outdoor pool, which my kid and I enjoyed. It even had a swim-up bar, although unfortunately it wasn't open during our stay. There is plenty of parking space. Overall In short, this is an OK place to stay between stops on your Tico trip.
