MIKADO NATURAL LODGE

Always awesome, we love this place, the food the staff and the wild life it’s a home away from home.

Thank you Lolo for your peaceful slice of heaven. We had a wonderful 5 night stay at Mikado Lodge. It is a little out of the way but worth getting there. It still puts you within easy reach of nearby Avellanas, Negra and Blanca beaches and more (short drive to Tamarindo, Conchal, slightly further to Nosara). It's so nice being out in the hills with very little artificial light and next to no noise except the wildlife.

Despite daytime temps of 40 degrees, the room was manageable with the windows wide open. The air conditioning could quickly cool the room in the evening and when the temps drop to the mid 20's it was perfect with the windows wide and the insect screens shut. We were woken in the morning by the haunting call of local howler monkeys but the sound-proof doors could easily block this out of you want. At the time of visiting (Feb 2024) there was a small family of 7 or so monkeys that would traverse nearby trees. One morning we were treated to the full cohort cruising past very close to our terrace.

Lolo is an incredible and generous host. She went out of her way for us on several occasions and we are truly grateful. She serves a mean breakfast and, if you request a day or two in advance, a delicious dinner too.

There are also tons of options for eating out within a 25 minute drive (recommend having a car).

Lolo, qui gère le domaine en mains de maître est une femme Formidable et toujours aux petits soins pour ses clients ! En plus de donner de très bons conseils sur les environs, lieux de visites et de restauration, c'est une personne très agréable et très attachante. Les jours passés à Mikado Natural Lodge ont été exceptionnels et nous y sommes répartis presque la larme à l’œil ????❤️. De gros bisous à toi Lolo et belle pensée pour toute ta petite famille ❤️????

Superbe vue pour ce Lodge à la déco soignée et en harmonie avec la nature.
Les singes et les écureuils sont souvent au rendez-vous dans les arbres au petit dej.
Le pain du matin est croustillant à souhait. Et les piña colada maison un must, sirotées au bord de la piscine à l’heure du sunset.
Une super adresse! Merci.

Truly an unforgettable, AMAZING experience staying at the Mikado Lodge! Entire property is just absolutely gorgeous! We saw monkeys from our room and by the pool. Lolo, the host, is just the sweetest and most accommodating. She cooked us a delicious breakfast every morning overlooking the pool, suggested TONS of activities (local beaches, a beautiful hike near the lodge, and even called and set us up on a Mangrove boat tour), and was just eager to make us feel happy and comfortable. The rooms have stunning views, are spotless and safe and look straight out of a magazine. Cannot say enough good things about this place, it made our entire experience (my first time traveling to Costa Rica). Thank you Lolo, we had the best time at your lodge. If you are looking for the BEST place to stay, it is here!!
