Our take
I would choose Hotel El Bambú for the setting. It stands in the rainforest and has its own bird-watching trail, which gives a family a wildlife outing without a transfer. The outdoor pool, rustic dining and an on-site restaurant keep evenings simple, and rooms are air-conditioned with free Wi-Fi. It is relaxed rather than polished, so guests who want a refined resort should look elsewhere, but for nature in Sarapiquí it fits well.
- ✓Take advantage of the bird-watching trail early in the morning for the best chance to spot local species.
- ✓Plan a visit to La Selva Biological Station, which is just a short taxi ride away for an immersive nature experience.
- ✓Enjoy the outdoor pool to cool off after a day of exploring the Sarapiquí region.
