This was a great place to truly experience the beauty of this part of Costa Rica. It is a long drive and one must be careful to take the right roads but we had a great experience and wish we could have stayed longer.

Our stay at La Anita was the highlight of our two week trip traveling throughout Costa Rica. Pablo, the owner, is a superb and gracious host who pays the utmost attention to every minute detail. We were shown impeccable hospitality and made to feel welcomed and extremely comfortable. The chocolate tour was over the top!

Staff was great. Dinner was amazing, sea bass with homemade pesto. Room was nice with comfortable bed. It was just late by the time we got our car rental. The road getting there is tough. Be prepared for a bumpy ride. Owner is kind and told us about the chocolate production on premises.

I cannot recommend it enough! Our only wish was that we stayed longer. The breakfast was phenomenal, the service was excellent. We had to leave early to catch a tour and they moved breakfast an hour ahead for us. We got in late and Pablo was up waiting for us and greeted us, gave us a tour, and just got to know us. We will absolutely be here again. Only note: you do need 4WD to get here if it’s been raining, at least if you’re coming from Rincon

Pablo (the owner) had a great chocolate tour. He is an authority in the field and it was one of the best we have had in a long time. We came back with plenty of amazing chocolates as well.

Ich habe leider nur zwei Nächte in der La Anita Rainforest Ranch verbracht, aber die Ruhe dort war genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Die Cabins sind rustikal und schlicht, aber äußerst sauber, und die Terrasse ist perfekt zum Entspannen. Sollte etwas nicht funktionieren, kann man sich immer auf Pablo verlassen – er sorgt dafür, dass alles geregelt wird. Um die Unterkunft zu erreichen, ist ein SUV empfehlenswert. Die ungeteerte, etwas holprige Straße ist mit dem richtigen Fahrzeug jedoch kein Problem. Wir hatten einen Suzuki Jimny, und es hat wirklich Spaß gemacht, die Strecke zu fahren. Am ersten Tag haben wir mit Pablo die Chocolate Tour gemacht – und ich kann nur sagen: Sie war nicht nur gut, sondern exzellent. Pablo ist leidenschaftlich in Bezug auf Kakao, und die Informationen, die er vermittelt, sind von höchster Qualität. Man merkt sofort, wie seine Augen leuchten, wenn er über Kakao spricht. Diese Tour ist wirklich einzigartig, und nach ihr versteht man, was guten Kakao und gute Schokolade ausmacht. Von der Unterkunft aus gibt es zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für Ausflüge, darunter ein Besuch von Sensoria, dem El Cathedral Waterfall oder dem Rincon de la Vieja Nationalpark. Zusätzlich können Mittag- und Abendessen gebucht werden. Die Mahlzeiten sind einfach, aber schmackhaft. Obwohl die Unterkunft nicht auf der typischen Touristenroute liegt, kann ich sie ohne Einschränkungen jedem empfehlen, der einen authentischen und ruhigen Rückzugsort sucht.

We had a fabulous two days at Finca La Anita. Pablo and Ana were fabulous hosts and we truly enjoyed learning from their knowledge of all things Costa Rican, especially the history and quality of chocolate and coffee. We stayed in cabin 8 which was comfortably rustic with a refrigerator. We found the temperature in mid Feb to be approx 10 degrees C cooler than the coast. Travel by SUV is best as the road is quite rough at times. The home cooked meals were authentic, yummy and filling. We loved both the peacefullness, the nature and the birds at Finca La Anita. Many thanks Pablo and Ana, we are already looking forward to our next visit.

Staying at La Anita was an amazing experience for my mom and I. Pablo and Ana are amazing hosts who take a personal interest in all their guests. The food was delicious and the grounds of the ranch are beautifully taken care of. It was nice to stay in the jungle and feel disconnected but still stay in a clean and safe environment. Beware of the roads on the way to the ranch, they can be a bit challenging. And be careful to not accidentally let bugs in your room at night, shut the door quickly! Overall, we enjoyed La Anita very much and highly recommend it to others.

Staying at La Anita Rainforest Ranch was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. We stayed for three nights and had an incredible experience. The hospitality of Pablo and Anna are unmatched; we felt so welcome and taken care of during our stay. The food was phenomenal, with a menu of fresh local foods that changed daily. Everything was very clean and taken care of. The property offers plenty to explore, and the lack of WiFi in the cabins makes it easy to unplug and enjoy the company of your companions. We HIGHLY reccomend the cacao tour- it was very informative and changed our perspective on chocolate and the industry at large. The ranch will forever hold a special place in our hearts!
