Upon arrival you’re driven on the golf cart to the top of a rainforest. If you watch carefully you can spot sloths, monkeys, and amazing birds. Our villa was the perfect arrangement for our family and gave us a great place to relax. The master balcony had morning closeup vies if a sweet Scarlet McCaw couple. You could spot monkeys and toucans from the roof terrace. Cabana and dining area on roof were added extra. Staff was super attentive and helpful. Restaurant and especially breakfast was absolutely AMAZING as were the frozen cocktails and lunch and dinner too. Please see my review for La Luna. Pool was fun with midday frozen cocktail treats (mocktails too!). Beds and sheets were perfect for helping us rest. Went in McCaw tour and hike for breathtaking view and hotel arranged for friendly and informative tour guide, Clarence, at the MApark where he helped us photograph wildlife and told us facts and tidbits about the animals. Very enjoyable! Hotel does keep tabs on your arrivals/departures but you soon realize it so they can clean your room and make sure you cone back and don’t go MIA on a hike or tour if you venture on your own. Great stay, relaxing and welcoming. Definitely go back someday!

The property at GAIA hotel was truly a tropical paradise nestled in the rainforest. The views are amazing, the spa relaxing and the rooms were spaced to allow privacy and a relaxing atmosphere. The staff at GAIA is what made our time in Costa Rica a bespoke experience which was so memorable. The onsite restaurant, La Luna, offered delicious meals and the wait staff were very personable and professional. The Scarlet Macaw rehabilitation facility based on the property is another example of how the owner and team at GAIA care deeply about the environment and culture of Costa Rica. Thank you for an amazing experience!!

By far the best hotel experience I've ever had. Truly luxury! The rooms and property were stunning, my massage was immaculate (thank you Jenny), and the sushi at dinner was the best I've ever had. But the amenities and service are what really set this place apart. All the staff were so attentive and eager to ensure an outstanding experience. In particular, Gary went above and beyond to make sure we got the most out of our stay and made everything as effortless as possible. I think I've been ruined for all other hotels. This is the standard we all deserve!

Gorgeous property, felt like luxury in the middle of the jungle. Our room was great - the shower is nice & gives you the option to open the sliding window & look at nature while you shower. We are not usually pool users but we loved the pools at Gaia & used them everyday. The drinks & food were above average & all of the staff were exceptional - patient & kind to us, remembering my husband & I by name. The hotel offers a free tour by the Macaw reserve & through the forest with Clarence - what a lovely guide & experience! The transportation to & from your room is via golf cart - this was no issue but something to be aware of. Overall a wonderful experience - would stay again in a heartbeat.
