Highlight of our Costa Rica trip!
Staying at La Anita Rainforest Ranch was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. We stayed for three nights and had an incredible experience. The hospitality of Pablo and Anna are unmatched; we felt so welcome and taken care of during our stay. The food was phenomenal, with a menu of fresh local foods that changed daily. Everything was very clean and taken care of. The property offers plenty to explore, and the lack of WiFi in the cabins makes it easy to unplug and enjoy the company of your companions. We HIGHLY reccomend the cacao tour- it was very informative and changed our perspective on chocolate and the industry at large. The ranch will forever hold a special place in our hearts!

I loved our cabin very much. My only suggestion would be to have mattress covers under the fitted sheets. Sleeping almost directly on a mattress is not very hygienic. There should be a barrier between the mattress and the fitted sheet that can be removed and sanitized.

What an authentic and beautiful place with the most genteel, charming and gracious hosts! Several forest walking paths and an orange tree outside the cottage with a never-ending stream of varied bird life to watch. And chocolate factory on site - very interesting.

Calm, cool perfection
This place is perfection in so many ways: the grounds are impeccable and just like you see them in the pictures. Few, if any, mosquitos. Cool high elevation air. The cabins are large, quiet, private and have mini refrigerators along with quiet surroundings and great privacy. Above all, owner/operator Pablo is charming, nice, attentive, but also lets you have your space. Everything you ask for, you get that same day! For example, our shower head was broken, but still just fine. It was fixed by the time we got back from hiking that afternoon! There were hammocks and comfortable chairs on the private deck of the huts. Just a very quiet, calm, familial stay in what felt like a very upscale resort. Pablo made it feel like we were staying with a friend of the family! This place is very highly recommended and could be a relaxing destination of its own. Just know that it is almost two hours to the Rincon de la Viejo national parks; but very well worth it (beautiful drive too). Dinner is at 6 pm. (traditional Costa Rican food: some veggies, some potatoes or rice, and some meat - ask ahead of time if you have other desires). A very fulfilling breakfast is served around 7.30. Upon request or if time allows; see the on-site chocolate factory! Don't miss the cocoa nibs for breakfast or in the nice store! Enjoy.

Wish we could have stayed longer than 3 nights here. This place is a wonderful representation of the nicest Costa Rican hospitality and dedication to the environment. Individual cottages are perfect, even with an occasional insect! Food was fresh and delicious. Best dark chocolate ever is made here.

What an amazing experience at La Anita Rainforest Ranch. My 18 year daughter and I stayed for three nights and wish we would have stayed longer. It was one of the best experiences of our two week trip to Costa Rica. Pablo, his family and staff went above and beyond to make our stay welcoming and comfortable. The cabins were beautifully rustic and had all the amenities we needed. The property is beautiful and Pablo was very helpful to set up activities for us during our stay. We went horseback riding through the rainforest with Edgar, who is a horse whisperer and it was incredible with spectacular views. Then we enjoyed a Caribbean cooking class with Araselli, who was a lovely person and makes fantastic food. The breakfasts and dinners at the lodge were delicious and we felt like part of the family by the end of our stay. We loved every minute of and would love to come for another visit. Highly recommend this place for a true local Costa Rican experience.

We simply loved our stay at Ranch Anita! If you’re looking for a serene atmosphere to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, this is the place. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch of our cabina taking in the beautiful surroundings. Our meals were delicious and the view from the dining area is beautiful. Pablo is a wonderful and welcoming host and a wealth of information about Costa Rica and sharing his passion for his ranch, the environment, his cacao plantation and the process of his chocolate production. Pablo and his wife Ana were so welcoming and a pleasure to meet. Our experience was excellent and we will visit again.
