Ξενοδοχεία με Mirador Bahía Lago, Tilaran

We highly recommend this hotel. We only stayed one night after arriving at Liberia airport as we left for Monteverde the next day. The staff are very firendly and check in was easy. They have a restaurant on site and the food was very good. We had breakfast incliuded in our stay and it was a very generous cooked breakfast with juice and coffee. It is situated in a wooded area and we saw Howler monkeys, deer, birds and Agouti (smaller rodents that are in the Guinea pig family). There is a pool. It looked nice although we did not have time to use it.

We stayed here back in April as part of a longer trip. The hotel grounds are beautiful and I loved my room - it was big and airy and the ceiling fan worked fine for the weather at the time. Not sure if it would have been sufficient in hotter weather. The food and cocktails in the restaurant were delicious and the staff were awesome. We ended up being the only ones left at the end of dinner so we turned down desert thinking they would want us to leave. Our lovely waiter assured us they were open for a while yet and then even gave us coffee on the house. It’s a short walk into town (be prepared to walk uphill on the way back) and there is a little shopping centre right across the road. There is a big supermarket, some bakeries, restaurants and cute souvenir shops. My issue with this hotel was check in. We had booked a twin room (through the travel agency.) When we were taken to the room it was a double. The lovely man who had helped with our luggage radioed back up and said his colleague was coming down. He then told us that this is what we had booked and we either had to share the bed or they would put up a child’s extra bed for one of us. My confirmation email from the TA said twin room so I questioned it again. He insisted this was what the TA had booked. I then walked back up to Reception and asked to use the phone to call the TA. As I was speaking he was talking to another colleague and had our booking in his hand. We could both see it clearly said twin. He then spoke on the phone to TA. They sorted the problem by giving us two rooms and offered us free cocktails while we waited. This part was all fine and lovely. My problem was the lies and trying to blame the TA and make us feel like we had no options. Had they admitted the mistake and then fixed it I would have no issues. But the way it was dealt with left me with an unpleasant feeling about an otherwise lovely stay.

Wow....I can't say enough good things about this location. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left this was 5 star all the way....we wish we had stayed longer and will definitely come back. The drinks at the bar were phenomenal and the Guaro Sour drink itself is enough to make you want to stay. The view from the room is something out of a dream. I do know we were lucky and no rain and could see the volcano all day all 3 days we were there. The rooms were immaculate and the hot tub is a nice touch. Might not be the best place for a family vacation as there are no activities for kids but for couples you couldn't find a more romantic place. Nonetheless our 14 year boy enjoyed his time there and spent more time admiring the views and wildlife than playing on his phone....even without being forced. Speaking of wildife we saw dozens of bird species, coatis, reptiles & the highlight....a friendly armadillo paid us a visit! I could go on and on but you get the picture.....lastly a special shout out to Jorge at the front desk....he knew and did all to make our trip even better. Thank you Jorge and the rest of the staff for making the first part of our trip unforgettable!
