Super nice area with the hiking in the waterfall and suspension bridges. People were really helpful, respectful and responsive.

El Tigre Hideaway is the most beautiful place I've ever visited in Costa Rica. Totally secluded and immersed in the forest, but comfortable and safe. We swam in the pool, visited the private waterfall, and at night we listened to monkeys, birds and frogs while the fireflies illuminated the cabin. The food came straight to us, and we also took a horseback tour. The reception has a deck with a spectacular view, a bar, and a swing. Simply amazing. The only confusing thing was understanding the process before arriving. El Tigre is primarily a waterfall destination (incredible!) and the cabins are a complement. From Santa Elena, you can get there in your own vehicle by dirt road. Transportation is not included, although they help coordinate it. In our case, the response took several days, which created uncertainty and confusion. That said, if you arrive with that planned route, the experience is unique and unforgettable.

A complete cabin, very well equipped and very cozy. You feel a sense of peace, you connect with nature, and you really disconnect completely. Very friendly staff at the front desk, attentive to everything you need. I recommend it.

This was truly the most incredible stay of my life. Such an experience with the tree in the courtyard & hot tub over looking the cloud forest. We love the hidden trail straight from the house to waterfalls. We loved the main trail from reception-passing multiple waterfalls was beautiful and fun. We loved the zip line bike, horse riding, and the fun 4x4 ride from the house to the desk. This was truly an adventure. As listed in the posting, there are bugs in the jungle and expect to see some! But, even our kids survived all the bug sightings!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Colmena. The house is beautifully designed and nestled in the jungle, offering a truly unique and peaceful experience. The private waterfall and hot tub were absolute highlights and made the property feel like a secluded paradise. We loved waking up to the sounds of nature and spending our evenings relaxing outdoors. The home was comfortable, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a memorable stay. We would definitely recommend Casa Colmena to anyone looking for a special getaway in Costa Rica.

Awesome place to stay. You are surrounded by nature. Be mindful of a lot of birds singing early in the morning, but we loved it. The hidden Waterfall is great. I recommend getting there before sunset because the roads have many turns, and it's a bit scary to drive at night.

Here’s a version under 1000 characters: --- Hidden deep in the Monteverde jungle, this place feels like a true secret—completely off the beaten track and unlike anywhere else we’ve stayed. You arrive by special 4x4, winding through the forest, setting the tone for a real adventure. Suddenly, you’re surrounded by dense jungle, with your own private waterfall nearby—wild, untouched, and incredibly special. Waking up is unforgettable: birdsong, rustling leaves, distant water, and that fresh, earthy jungle air. Even the showers are an experience—you feel like you’re in the jungle itself, completely immersed in nature. What makes it even better is the comfort—cosy beds, a warm fire, and big windows overlooking the forest. It’s perfect for families wanting a safe but adventurous jungle experience.

An incredibly unique experience being fully immersed in nature but with all the comforts of home. Loved riding horses through the forest to breakfast, the waterfall hike, and the private waterfall right near the house. The staff at El Tigre Hideaway are amazing and took care of everything we needed. An awesome adventure in a breathtaking setting.

Very unique and beautiful home! It felt like being in a luxury treehouse. We had a great stay and enjoyed hiking and also just sitting by the fire to relax. The staff were extremely responsive and friendly. Would definitely recommend for a place to stay in the cloud forest.

Our two night stay at El Tigre was amazing! Private waterfalls and beautiful setting.
