I enjoyed being in the rain forest with very few other people around, the pool was small but very nice and refreshing. The breakfasts and staff were amazing, especially Diego. On the downside the road in was 2 km and rough, the last 200 yards really is meant for 4WD. The Wi-fi never worked. There is no AC, most nights were ok, some were too hot.

Skønt ophold
Utrolig smuk og ekseptionel beliggenhed oppe i bjergene. Vi blev upgradet til et fuldt udstyret hus - casa Tucan, så vi selv kunne lave mad. Stranden nede i byen Matapalo var fantastisk, og vi tilbragte timer der... Søde og hjælpsomme folk i receptionen.

This property is up in the rainforest, providing continuous nature contact and sounds. The front desk and those who worked there went above and beyond to communicate with me and my guest and help us communicate with local companies, taxis and provide suggestions.

Décevant !
La photo de la jolie maison avec piscine en présentation est en fait la photo du propriétaire de ce lotissement actuellement en cours de commercialisation et surtout EN CONSTRUCTION !!!!. Les maisons "habitables" ne ressemblent pas du tout à celle-là !!! Ainsi vous ressentez un fort sentiment d'avoir été aguiché par une photo prometteuse qui ne reflète pas du tout la réalité. Pas de air conditionné, Le jacuzzi ne chauffe pas et l'accès est juste impossible malgré notre gros 4X4 Mitsubishi Montero ce qui nous a obligé à porter nos valises pour accéder à la maison. En résumé, un rapport qualité-prix très décevant !!! Le rapppo

Nice duplex in the jungle
We stayed in the duplex for 6 nights. The room was clean and comfortable with fans and open windows with screens. The kitchen was outside with a nice view of the trees from the kitchen sink. We never swam at the pool, but it looked inviting. The Rio Portalon with access by staircase was about a 30 minute hike further into the property...AMAZING. Breakfast was hot and prompt every morning that we were there. David was more than happy to help with directions, advise, and recommendations during our entire visit.

Great hotel in beautiful rainforest
We really enjoyed our stay at Portasol Living. We booked a bungalow but got upgraded to one of the houses, which was great. The house was spacious and comfortable with a huge, wonderful outdoor porch area with couches and hammocks where we loved spending our evenings. Our favorite thing about this hotel was the location. It's a little bit off the beaten track, but it's worth it because you really are in the rainforest, which is beautiful. There are several short trails on the grounds of the hotel leading to waterfalls which are great for swimming. It's also right in between two great national parks--Manuel Antonio to the north and Marino Ballena to the south--so it's a short drive to either of those. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone.

Staying in the Trees
Wonderfully thought out place...literally in the middle of the forest...no A/C...10 minutes from one beach and 40 mins from another...not a beach view but in the trees...parks in the area with waterfalls to enjoy and wonderful breakfast and care from Ariel!! Very rustic but wonderful place to stay...

Kim, Utah

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Dorm-like conditions
The room was a small box with no air conditioning. We had to share the bathroom with three men in the room next door. The price was way too high for what we got. We paid similar prices all over Costa Rica and this was by far the worst conditions. I would expect to pay half what we paid. I would not go back or recommend this "hotel". On the bright side, the surroundings were beautiful and the dip in the river pools was very relaxing and refreshing.

Unforgettable stay
Hotel is surrounded by nature with trails and a waterfall.The location is very tranquil. On the way to the hotel you drive through a little typical Costa Rican village where locals enjoy the nearby river. It is so beautiful!We had the chance to see toucans, frogs and other critters that we haven't even seen while visiting Manuel Antonio National Park.It is like hotel and national park at one. It has been a most memorable stay.

Paradise
This was the last stay for us on our cross-country Costa Rican road trip. After traveling from the city of San Jose to La Fortuna, on the bumpy, long road to Monteverde, and along the Pacific coast beaches, we landed at Portasol. Don't get me wrong, the trip was amazing, but if you don't have the time (16 hours of driving) to do the road trip, stay here! This is the complete Costa Rican package! We swam in the waterfalls, hiked in the rain forest, and drove to the beach. It was by far the best place we visited!! David went above and beyond what we ever expected from our host, and the breakfast was amazing! Next visit we are just renting a house with Portasol and staying there the entire time!! Pura Vida

Great place to stay
We loved staying at Portasol. So much so we went back three times during our stay in Costa Rica (5 weeks). We loved the bungalow, watching squirrel monkeys and humming birds in the forest surrounding us. We also loved swimming under a waterfall on the property in a beautiful waterhole, finding butterflies, dart frogs and fish for company. The food and staff were also great, making our overall experiences at Portasol enjoyable. The only down side was, as we have a one and a half year old daughter, the low-sided pool near the eating area meant we couldn't relax during eating times as she always wanted to be over at the pool (no fence around it - or the drop off next to the pool), and without a high-chair to put her in, there was no real way to keep her away from it. Something for staff to think about for other families in the future.
