We had a wonderful time at Hotel Heliconias recently. Me and my two best friends came to celebrate my 50th birthday and we can't say enough good things about this hotel, the staff and the exceptional service. From the moment we arrived we were taken care of by Diego and Alejandro. Check in was seamless, the rooms were clean and well equipped, the breakfast was scrumptious and believe me when I say this was the best breakfast of our entire week in Costa Rica. The service was impeccable. Alejandro took care of booking all of our excursions and made sure we felt at home. The owner Omar made the effort to welcome us to the hotel and provided fresh coconut water for us at the pool. Diego went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable with our stay. This hotel is different. It is quiet, peaceful, surrounded by natural beauty and you feel at home. I would definitely come back here next time I am in Costa Rica. Thank you for making our stay very memorable and special.

Great Location
Overall we enjoyed our time at this place. Unfortunately, perhaps due to off season, we did not find several places around the resort closed, for example bar at the pool. There were construction going on around the resort, which also seemed unsightly. Cleaning service was not that great. Our room was not cleaned properly and we could find dirt and hair balls in the washroom and around the room. This was disappointing. Washroom could use some shelves to place our shampoo and stuff, we had place all that on the floor. Front office staff was very helpful and totally took care of us and for that we are grateful. Breakfast was included, but it was not that much. But the staff and management was very kind and allow us to orders extra portion and that was greatly appreciated. All in all, it is a good resort and I am sure that in main tourist season they would be much better in their ambiance and other services. Thank you for making our stay and memorable one. My family did have a very good time.

This place is pretty special. It is a small, low key resort. My son wanted to stay close to the pool, so we stayed in a standard room. The room wasn't great. The beds were hard, it could use a refresh, the air conditioner was loud, and there was no soundproofing. If we had picked one of the bungalows or treehouses, I likely would have given the place 5 stars. It is a nice alternative away from the hustle and bustle of La Fortuna but still close to lots of attractions.

Overall the property was beautiful and lots of wildlife surrounding. Staff were always pleasant. Breakfast options were decent. Our only two complaints are the beds/pillows and the bugs in our room.Extremely hard and uncomfortable bedding and the large amount of bugs in our treehouse. Not sure if the cleaning crew left the doors open while they cleaned or if they managed to enter through the small openings but our last night in the tree house has several bugs that night.

We enjoyed our stay. The restaurant was excellent along with the service. There is a pond next to the restaurant where you can see the fish, ducks and wildlife. The owner visited with us and was very friendly. It is a family affair each son works in a different area. The breakfast was included and was very nice. The gardens are beautiful as well as the vegetable garden they have on site. We would recommend this hotel.

Beautiful resort. Pool was nice and hot springs are lovely. Really enjoyed the opportunity to explore paths on the property and see flora and fauna (we saw a sloth on the first day, toucans, parakeets, and much more). We stayed in the treehouse and it was a wonderful treat. Would stay again here.

We had a wonderful stay at Heliconias. The bungalows were clean with plenty of privacy. We didn’t get to spend a lot of time there because we were out a lot on tours but Diego made us the best Piña Coladas every evening while we enjoyed the hot springs. He works very hard and you will find him running around from one job to another and always has a smile on his face. This place is lucky to have him as part of their staff. We will definitely return.
