I really think this is a great resort. The accomodations are well kept, clean and surpass many of the Costa Rican standards. This property is riverfront and the natural wildlife of iguanas, red squirrels, birds and butterflies are amazing. The owner, lives on property and is commonly seen visiting with the guests, always reviewing their comfort and satisfaction. He quickly... More

Our family stayed 3 nights at hotel Tilajari and had a wonderful stay. The resort has beautiful, well-cultivated and manicured grounds and is situated along the lovely Rio San Carlos. In particular we enjoyed all of the scarlet palms on the property. Near our room was the impressively stocked and appealingly overgrown butterfly garden. The rooms in the hotels were... More

We were just there from 4 pm until about 8 the next morning, so our time was limited. At breakfast we sat watching dozens of different... More

My husband and I only stayed at the Tilajari for one night, but wished we'd have stayed longer. The room was nice, with a nice little lanai overlooking the lawn that lead to the San Carlos River. We were able to sit on the lanai and watch beautiful birds and butterflies. But the best part was watching the largest iguanas... More
