Great stay, lovely family run Ecolodge. The food at the onsite restaurant was delicious. We had the whole fried tilapia, and smoked pork dinners. As well as an amazing huge breakfast with delicious fresh fruit, rice and beans and eggs and coffee. Our casita was equipped with everything we needed to cook. Plenty of room, deeply relaxing to have the windows open and watch the birds. We saw a toucan and a hummingbird, there are coffee plants and banana plants and orchids growing right outside the door. They had excellent suggestions for tours, restaurants and the best places to stop and watch the sunset. The lodge is about 25 minutes drive outside Santa Elena, it’s a pretty drive with a couple incredible views. One afternoon we just relaxed at the lodge, sat with our legs in the spring fed pool, watched the birds and played with the dogs.
She greeted me by name before I even got out of the car! Absolutely felt welcome and comfortable with the people, the grounds and our cabin. She helped prepare our travels for the next day so we could avoid the Costa Rican massage on our drive (avoid bumpy gravel roads). I feel we got extremely lucky to stay here.
Rancho de Lelo was a wonderful place to stay as a family of 4. Our hosts were very hospitable. The food was amazing at breakfast and dinner. The kids loved the natural spring fed pool (a little cool, but didnt bother our Canadian kids!). The cabin was clean and well kept. It is a bit off the beaten path, but we had no issues finding it and didnt mind the 25 minute drive to the Monteverde activities.
It was a great stay here, the family is wonderful. They have a lot of dogs on the property which gave us a lot of joy. Bronco is the lead German Shepherd and he’s very friendly. Their restaurant serves good food, breakfast and dinner were delicious. The cabins are nice and relaxing. Who ever you talk to before arriving will try to warn you not to follow google maps, we didn’t listen and got to cross the river without a bridge. Again, they warned us and it was our fault, it worked out because we had a SUV. My advice is to put in your map Monteverde Reserve Cloud Forest, and then when you get near there, then put in Rancho de Lelo. That way you’ll avoid an insanely steep mountainside road that requires crossing a river. It’s a good story for us and added to our enjoyment of our time here.
