Finca Amistad Cacao Lodge

We did a tour of the farm, and it was awesome! Our tour guide was amazing, the coffee was great, and we even got to see a baby sloth! They are a fully organic/sustainable preserve, which was so awesome to learn more about. They are very close to Rio Celeste as well so very convenient to get to.

We did an overnight trip at the farm and loved every minute of it! We arrived for the 1:00 farm tour (and even got to see a sloth in one of their trees on the farm) and learned out how they grow cacao. We did the 4:00 chocolate making, which my 9 year old just loved! Later we reserved our 1 hour time slot at the spa (the hot and cold plunge baths were relaxing, immaculate, private and refreshing for all of the family). We did have to ask someone to serve us drinks (which wasted about 15 minutes of my hour). After the spa, we enjoyed their delicious dinner, cold chocolate drink, and then headed to our cabin. After settling in, we had brought flashlights to walk the grounds looking for animals. Saw lots of large frogs and heard other animal sounds at night which was fun. It would have been nice to have had porch fans and larger fans in the rooms, since they aren't air conditioned, but believe it or not, we were still comfortable. Highly recommend this quaint, unique location, that makes you feel like a million bucks!

Wonderful stay - so relaxed in this gorgeous working chocolate farm. Amazing cooking from the lovely ladies in the kitchen, chocolate tour and cooking course brilliant with Julian, tours round Tenorio and fabulous horse riding nearby with David's riding tours done effortlessly. Relaxing in the beautiful hot and cold tubs on the edge of the forest with cocktails from the bar was a great memory. Lovely people in a lovely setting , comfortable authentic feeling rooms. Highly recommended

What a delightful place to stay! David was so incredibly knowledgeable during the tour. My 8 year old daughter is very interested in plants and he answered all of her questions with genuine interest and patience. The farm is a lovely place to stay. A wonderful way to support the smaller local agricultural economy.

We loved our 4 days here. It's an unusual place-a working cacao farm but with great staff and rustic but comfortable accommodations. The food was plentiful and quite good. The grounds are fun to explore - a three-toed sloth was living in a tree right next to our cabin. Overall, a great spot and a fun stay!

Amazing place! Beautiful property, great service, incredible food… 10/10 across the board. We booked through air bnb for 1 night. We had dinner and breakfast here (both AMAZING), did the chocolate making experience (fun and delicious), took the farm tour (informative and fun, we saw a sloth!), and visited the jacuzzi (gorgeous). So many birds and animals around, reasonably priced, and such friendly staff (David and Raquel were the best!) One of my favorite stays in Costa Rica!
