Hotels in Upala

"Wonderful location (a bit remote, but worth it!) and very gracious staff! My family enjoyed our stay here so much and will remember it for years. We especially enjoyed the monkeys, horseback riding, and the food!"

"This place was amazing. The food was incredible. I highly recommend the chocolate tour. This is a very quiet spot. I will return."

"Beautiful place. Decent value and good breakfast."

"Perfect. Only been in Costa Rica 2 days and to stay here sets the bar level very high if you like wilderness in a very homely, space-like environment!"

"I can't say enough wonderful things about this property! All I kept saying to the staff was that the photos and descriptions on the internet didn't do it justice! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, it was like being transported to a magical garden land or something! I loved the property so much that I actually cancelled my full day excursion so I could have more time at the property. Everything is clean, well-taken care of, the food is delicious, and the staff and owner are so friendly and helpful! It's a wonderful place to relax, unwind, enjoy a beautiful view, and truly disconnect! If you have a lot of activities planned in La Fortuna, allow for about an hour to an hour and a half of drive time to get from Hotel Mystica into town. "

"Beautiful views, good service, comfortable beds. "

"From the moment I arrived, the warmth and hospitality of the owners, Flory and Manuel, made me feel completely at home. Flory’s kindness stood out when she offered me fresh tea leaves to soothe a stomachache, a thoughtful gesture I’ll never forget. Manuel added to the magic by pointing out howler monkeys in the trees, a sight that felt straight out of a nature documentary. Angie went above and beyond, taking me on a walk across the property in search of sloths. We found not just one, but two, including a mother with her baby. The wildlife here is incredible: toucans, great-tailed grackles, and butterflies in vibrant colors graced the property, making every moment feel like a nature adventure. Breakfast was another highlight. Each morning, I looked forward to a delicious meal paired with fresh juice. The bungalows themselves are clean, peaceful, and beautifully maintained, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle. Agutipaca Bungalows is, without a doubt, one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed. I would recommend it wholeheartedly to my favorite people, confident they’ll return with their own unforgettable experiences. Lauralee "
