Wonderful family run business! Delightful bungalows nestled in the rainforest — with lovely hammocks on the porch. Staff was great at accommodating traveler with limited mobility — picking us up in a golf-type cart for meals. Massage was so relaxing — and outdoors! Food was tasty, portions generous and staff attentive. Secluded for peace and quiet. Rain on the tin roof was mesmerizing!

Our room was clean, beds were comfortably firm. The bathroom could have used a light fixture closer to the sink/mirror, as half your face was in shadow when shaving. The exterior light above the door did not work, making the entry a bit dark. The food was exceptional at the restaurant. We ate dinner there twice, and were very happy with our meals (tomahawk steak, hamburger, and chicken cordon bleu). The piña colada was delicious. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and eager to provide great service.

We had a lovely time! Our room was very nice, as were the pool and hot springs. We booked one of the tours through the hotel and loved it! The only downside was the restaurant, which had very limited options for vegetarians and slow service.

It was our first time in Costa Rica and hotel Heliconias was a very good stay. It was perfect for the hot springs. It was very nice and the hotel rooms were like a treehouse. Service was good. The food was great. The traditional Costa Rican food, Gallo Pinto, is a must try.
