we stayed here for 5 days. We came straight from San Jose to the lodge. It was an amazing start to our holiday. We were travelling with our over active toddler. The staff were fantastic - all of them! They helped organise our activities, ran around after our daughter and taught us loads about the surrounding area. It was a... More

I visited the ecolodge in late December with my parents on a bird watching trip, and we had a wonderful time, in spite of my mom's back going out. Room #3 was beautiful (all that solid wood!), very clean, and comfortable (expect firm beds). Be aware that if you don't have a car, it is a ten minute walk from... More

Ecolodge San Luis is a little off the beaten path near Monteverde, which is wonderful. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. You can enjoy the beautiful setting on your own or join the naturalists on hikes to learn more about the flora and fauna. The naturalists are U of Georgia students who are passionate... More

Nature geek or not, if you like learning about the place you're visiting, Ecolodge San Luis is not to be missed! This University of Georgia research campus is a gem near the Monteverde Cloud Forest. The roads are a little rough getting there, and you need to pay close attention to directions, such as turning at the ruins of a... More

This place is tucked away on a beautiful piece of land near Monteverde. There are so many opportunities to take advantage of here that are included in your stay. We helped milk cows one morning, and hiked to a beautiful waterfall later that day. A resident naturalist can take you on walks around the property to learn about animals and... More

We arrived at Ecolodge having just traveled through the mountains. It is a peaceful area where you are forced to slow down in a good way. Life is simple here. You can participate in many educational experiences which are included in your lodging fee (as are your meals). Everything here is done in consideration of the ecological and environmental impact....

Okay, this place is a MAJOR find. I had spent months researching places to stay in Costa Rica but didn't learn about EcoLodge San Luis until I got there. I spend a couple of days here with my 14 yr old daughter. We met a bunch of interesting people here. Food, activities and lodging are all included in the price... More

We just returned from our stay at the UGA Costa Rica Ecolodge. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here as our first stop on our Costa Rica vacation. We were hoping for this to be our "educational" part of the trip with the kids. The naturalists meet you when you arrive and help you schedule your time while at the lodge. You... More

I stayed here about 10 years ago as part of a college course and loved it so much that I immediately booked a stay when my husband suggested we come to Costa Rica for our vacation this year. We had an amazing time! I have stayed in all the lodging options and they are all very nice and clean. The... More
