We had a fabulous two days at Finca La Anita. Pablo and Ana were fabulous hosts and we truly enjoyed learning from their knowledge of all things Costa Rican, especially the history and quality of chocolate and coffee. We stayed in cabin 8 which was comfortably rustic with a refrigerator. We found the temperature in mid Feb to be approx 10 degrees C cooler than the coast. Travel by SUV is best as the road is quite rough at times. The home cooked meals were authentic, yummy and filling. We loved both the peacefullness, the nature and the birds at Finca La Anita. Many thanks Pablo and Ana, we are already looking forward to our next visit.

THe stay was great, the property was beautiful and Ana and Pablo were amazing hosts. We stayed one night but had time to go on a hike and have a beautiful view at the top. Recommended for an adventure and immersion in nature.

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.

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.

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.

Ich habe leider nur zwei Nächte in der La Anita Rainforest Ranch verbracht, aber die Ruhe dort war genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Die Cabins sind rustikal und schlicht, aber äußerst sauber, und die Terrasse ist perfekt zum Entspannen. Sollte etwas nicht funktionieren, kann man sich immer auf Pablo verlassen – er sorgt dafür, dass alles geregelt wird. Um die Unterkunft zu erreichen, ist ein SUV empfehlenswert. Die ungeteerte, etwas holprige Straße ist mit dem richtigen Fahrzeug jedoch kein Problem. Wir hatten einen Suzuki Jimny, und es hat wirklich Spaß gemacht, die Strecke zu fahren. Am ersten Tag haben wir mit Pablo die Chocolate Tour gemacht – und ich kann nur sagen: Sie war nicht nur gut, sondern exzellent. Pablo ist leidenschaftlich in Bezug auf Kakao, und die Informationen, die er vermittelt, sind von höchster Qualität. Man merkt sofort, wie seine Augen leuchten, wenn er über Kakao spricht. Diese Tour ist wirklich einzigartig, und nach ihr versteht man, was guten Kakao und gute Schokolade ausmacht. Von der Unterkunft aus gibt es zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für Ausflüge, darunter ein Besuch von Sensoria, dem El Cathedral Waterfall oder dem Rincon de la Vieja Nationalpark. Zusätzlich können Mittag- und Abendessen gebucht werden. Die Mahlzeiten sind einfach, aber schmackhaft. Obwohl die Unterkunft nicht auf der typischen Touristenroute liegt, kann ich sie ohne Einschränkungen jedem empfehlen, der einen authentischen und ruhigen Rückzugsort sucht.

Staying at La Anita was an amazing experience for my mom and I. Pablo and Ana are amazing hosts who take a personal interest in all their guests. The food was delicious and the grounds of the ranch are beautifully taken care of. It was nice to stay in the jungle and feel disconnected but still stay in a clean and safe environment. Beware of the roads on the way to the ranch, they can be a bit challenging. And be careful to not accidentally let bugs in your room at night, shut the door quickly! Overall, we enjoyed La Anita very much and highly recommend it to others.

Eine sehr außergewöhnliche Unterkunft. Hier kann man Regenwald spüren. Der Service ist ausbaufähig, aber sehr ursprünglich. Pablo als Eigentümer sehr bemüht. Die angebotene Chocolate Führung war unglaublich interessant und mit großer Leidenschaft vorgetragen. Sehr Empfehlenswert !

So habe ich mir eine Finca erhofft. Tolle Bungalows mit viel Privatsphäre und Blick auf den Vulkan. Und die bequemste Hängematte ever. Die Bungalows haben Netze statt Fenster. Gut für eine erfrischende Brise bei Nacht und die volle Geräuschkulisse des Dschungels. Moskitoschutz sehr zu empfehlen! Die Gastgeber Pablo und Ana einfach klasse, super freundlich. Wir haben uns wirklich sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Essen würde ich als bestes unserer gesamten Reise bewerten. Und dann noch die Kakaotour! Wir durften soviel von Pablo lernen und Kakao in seinen verschiedenen Formen kosten. Lecker! Die Tour sollte bei keinem La Anita Aufenthalt fehlen. Gut investiertes Geld ! Liebe Ana, lieber Pablo vielen Dank von Marina und Thomas und bitte genauso weitermachen!!!
