Stayed two nights after winning a trip thru the Costa Rican Tourisim board. The beauty and tranquility of this hotel and spa cannot describe the wonderful experience my husband and I had at this hotel. Deep in the forest, this hotel is surrounded by lush vegetation, tropical flowers, and hummingbirds galore. The adorable bungalows are clean and ecofriendly. Each room... More

We spent three days having booked through Luxury Link. We can confirm all the other fantastic reviews to be true. Rooms, food, grounds, spa, (Laura hot stone amazing) and staff all top marks. We would like to add our praise for the warm individuals that work here. We enjoyed our time talking with many one-one and learning their stories. This... More

The best way to cap off our vacation to Costa Rica. The staff was amazing and the food was great. Took a little while to get to, but it is worth the trip. Activities during the day and luxurious relaxation in the evening (not to mention hot cocoa and cookies on your porch as the day winds down). The only... More

We stayed here April of 2011 and it was one of the most relaxing places we have ever stayed. The staff is outstanding and the rooms are amazing. Every room has a hot tub off the living room which is nice for a late night dip as the temperature would drop at night. I have never seen so many lightning... More

El Silencio Lodge was the first stop on my Costa Rica vacation in late April. It definitely set the standard for the rest of the trip and provided a fantastic start! The property is amazingly beautiful, nestled in a valley packed with waterfalls, trees, birds, and wildlife. The air is clean and the views are serene. Service at El Silencio... More

El Silencio has it all figured out! We visited El Silencio in April of 2012 for our honeymoon. We had the best time. There were a number of excursions we signed up for (which you don't have to do) and the food was amazing. Beyond that, the customer service was out of this world. One evening, we were the only...

From the moment we arrived to our departure two days later, this hotel delivered in every possible way. The front desk was imaginative without being pretentious and the food was incredible. The room we had was perfect with views of this narrow valley and access to great hikes gave us nice flexibility. Relaxing is the theme here and El Silencio... More

Our family trip to El Solencio was a much needed escape from the type 1 culture of the USA. Although the ride from San Jose airport was an adventure of its own, our arrival at el solencio insured us that our time there would truly be a peaceful and relaxing get away. This resort is all about sustainability, evidenced by... More

Wow. My husband and I stayed at El Silencio for our Honeymoon in November 2011 (sorry for the tardy review). While I have certainly rated other hotel reviews at 5 stars, I wish there were a way to give El Silencio a 6. From the moment Vinicio picked us up from the airport, we were completely taken care of. They... More
