8.0/10

We had a spacious room with a lovely river view, and the grounds were absolutely beautiful, filled with lovely birds and iguanas. The pool and hot tub were enjoyable, offering great views, but the location was a bit far from La Fortuna and Arenal, which was inconvenient for our plans. The breakfast had a plethora of options for vegans, but we did experience some challenges with the distance to attractions, which impacted our overall enjoyment.

My stay at the Tilajari Hotel Resort and Conference Center was a delightful experience overall. Nestled amid lush grounds along the Rio San Carlos, the hotel provides excellent opportunities for wildlife spotting, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The room was spacious and kept impeccably clean, though the use of plastic disposable straws felt out of place in an otherwise environmentally conscious setting. While the distance from main attractions like Arenal and La Fortuna can be a bit inconvenient, the amenities and comfort make it worth considering for a stay in Costa Rica.
