Cheap hotels in Tajo Alto

It is such a special place, peaceful nature and a lot of birds! Amania is a great host and very helpful! We enjoyed our stay a lot!

the photos don't lie - this place was pretty amazing. incredible views from the (almost) infinity pool looking down into the valley. staff were super nice and accommodating. kitchen with everything we needed. rooms were REALLY with great detailing. the drive up is pretty windy so recommend arriving during the day ;)

Beautiful place, the view is beautiful. They offered us a coconut juice upon arrival. The breakfast was really good, the orange juice was fresh orange juice. There is AC in the tent and a fan, it was cool and smelled really nice. It's surrounded by nature, the shower area was so beautiful, it's outside and you get the full nature experience. There is no bus to el mirador from miramar, so make sure you plan yourself well to get there. I was informed by a local that the taxis from miramar charge 15 000 colones to go to el mirador ( its a 15 minute car ride from miramar to el mirador). If you're leaving from san jose, you have to take a bus from san jose to barranca then you have to take a bus from barranca to miramar. The bus from barranca to san jose, it's roughly 1h30 minutes or 2 hours, depending on the bus and route you take. When we returned to san jose, the bus from miramar to barranca cost us 1000 colones for 2, and the bus from barranca to san jose cost 7000 colones each. It's a very romantic place, we had a good time. Also, make sure you are not bothered by bugs, because at times at night, bugs come inside the tent, spiders, flys, we had to put the AC on and we also closed the lights to prevent more of them from coming inside. If you have anxiety with bugs, spiders, then think carefully, as there will be bugs in the toilet area and inside the tent. It's a unique experience, I really loved it. It was raining when we arrived, so we were laying down, watching the rain, and enjoying the beautiful view. You can see the full moon in the middle of the night, very beautiful moment. Also when you cook, the kitchen is outside, so make sure you buy a mosquito spray because there is a lot of mosquitos in the area or you can just order from local restaurants, cost us 11 000 colones for two meals and that was including delivery.

A very very beautiful stay in the mountains. Our apartment was fabulous with the most gorgeous views. It was so comfortable and the breakfast Ana prepared for us each day was wonderful. The restaurant by the main gate is very good as well and only 3 mins walk. I am so glad we found this place to stay.

Carlos carlos carlos...he is as amazing host as the place! We love them all the same.. and also his wife Elena. If you don't stay here you're missing out on life! We didn't want to leave this place. Oh by the way the food was also lovely. He knows what is spicy what you ask him what is spicy! Don't go without the argentina pizza and cas juice! One of our best accommodation out of 100s of countries! Pura Vida!

Really great authentic, high quality dinner and also breakfast; the rooms (bungalows) are much more beautiful than the pictures are showing - really nice rooms with everything you need. the surroundings are very quiet with a beautiful garden; the owners are more than friendly and helpful! Monteverde and Santa Elena is good reachable in a short drive. We would come to Rancho de Lelo again for sure!! Thank you for everything!

Beer in the fridge. After a long drive. Welcomed to the property by the host.

Everything you need and more! The host is wonderful, so nice and accommodating. We were able to tour the property to see all sorts of beautiful birds and monkeys, plus she offered some fresh vegetables from her huge garden and made delicious breakfast. It’s super close to the park with multiple point of views of the way. Fully equipped house with comfy beds in the middle of pure nature!

extremely friendly and helpful owners and staff made our stay for a family group of 18 wonderful. delicious home cooked breakfast and dinner was well worth it. great views of the ocean and sunset. basic but comfortable rooms.

We loved the stay here. Food tasty. Beautiful swimming pool with amazing view on mountains and ocean. People very very friendly. Our room neighbours returned here and we are ready to return as well. In our 15days trip in Costa Rica, this is the best hotel we stayed so far, highly recommended.
