2BR Cabin in Upala

Excellent, 1 month ago

Lovely cabana! The girls were so nice and the property is so dreamy. We can definitely recommend it!

So I will call it a happy surprise. The listing had Rincón de la Vieja in the title, implying it was close… which it was, but on the other side of the mountain. After a much longer than expected dirt road, we arrived at the cutest, cleanest, most charming little Airbnb, nestled in the jungle surrounded by horses and cows. We quickly realized we were much farther from everything than expected, and wife might’ve had a few tears. We were offered motorcycle rides one at a time to destinations, which felt impractical and a little crazy since my wife doesn’t speak Spanish. Then we found Blue River Resort & Hot Springs, and everything changed. They arranged drivers, tours, hot springs, and even our airport ride. The hikes felt like a movie set. We saw nobody. It was peaceful, beautiful, and somehow turned out better than we imagined.

Super great experience if you're looking to do something away from the super touristy crowds. The cabin was lovely and the meals at the restaurant (Soda) on the premise were really great as well. We fell in love with El Gavilan and felt like we got a true local experience in Costa Rica - definitely recommend staying here and exploring the area if you're looking to do something off the beaten path. A 4x4 would be recommended to get here as the road getting here is not paved and bumpy - but don't let that deter you! It was definitely an experience I'll look fondly back on :)

Rosa Isabel's place was a slice of heaven! Waking up surrounded by the greenery and the birds was such a treat. Mary and Fio at the airbnb helped make our stay so special by giving us local recommendations and connecting us with tours that were private and so fun! I would recommend staying here to anyone! We felt a true connection to the beautiful community and it was all due to the welcoming energy of Fio and Mary. They went ABOVE and BEYOND in making our stay so magical. Mary is an amazing cook, and served us the best food we had during our entire stay in Costa Rica. We were a group of five girls and felt so safe and taken care of. The pool is beautiful as is the surrounding area. Can't wait to go back we absolutely loved the environment and the community!
