We had an excellent stay in this B&B. The location is amazing in the middle of the nature, very quiet. The breakfast is great and the recommendation for local tour are very helpful. In addition it is possible to order diner from the city that will be served in their dining room. It was extremely convenient.

Absolutely everything! Mei Tai is an incredible gem in Costa Rica that should be visited by all tourists who are caring and thoughtful enough to recognize what Costa Rica is all about. Cecile and her family go out of their way to make your experience incredibly comfortable and relaxing. She takes the time from the moment you drive onto the property to personalize your stay. The piece of advice we have is listen to absolutely everything that she says. Bijauga is relatively untouched by tourists compared to some of the major attractions in Costa Rica and we hope it stays that way. Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay with you! PS – try the orange bananas. They will rock your world.

Nous avons adorĂ© notre sĂ©jour. Premier stop de 2 jours sur notre itinĂ©raire de 14 jours en juillet au Costa Rica avec nos jumeaux de 10 ans. La barre est haute pour la suite. Toute la famille aurait voulu rester plus longtemps dans ce petit paradis de tranquilitĂ© en communion avec la nature. Les photos ne rendent pas justice Ă  cet endroit. Notre petit cabana Ă©tait impeccable et confortable. Le confort des lits est 10 sur 10. Les seuls sons que nous entendions Ă©taient les bruits de la nature. Il y avait une salle Ă  dĂźner extĂ©rieure et un nook pour s'allonger Ă  mĂȘme le cabana. Les animaux (vaches et chevaux) Ă  proximitĂ©. Petit dĂ©jeuner dĂ©licieux. Des hĂŽtes attentionnĂ©s et sympathiques. Je recommande fortement Ă  tous ceux qui viennent dans le coin de La Fortuna de faire un petit dĂ©tour pour passer quelques jours ici pour aller voir le Rio CĂ©leste, faire du tubing et profiter de ce magnifique B&B dans la nature.

When traveling through Costa Rica, everyone should take the opportunity to stay at a finca (farm). Finca Mei Tai is perfect - grounds and views are beautiful! With just 3 rooms, you feel like an honored guest of Eric & Cecile’s. The location is close to Bijagua so you have great access to the restaurants and Rio Celeste. In addition, we had the cottage with the private outdoor lounge area with stereo. It is a great touch which my teenage daughters loved! The breakfast was an absolute delight. Fruit, eggs, fresh bread, local jams, cold cuts, juice, hot chocolate, coffee, tea even kid’s cereal if your kids are craving it. So happy that we stayed here.

The B&B was located on a scenic and spacious property. The owners were extremely nice, catering and took time to give the history of the property and the region. Finally the guest room was large, clean and had everyone you could desire for a comfortable stay. I will recommend this property to friends and family who plan on staying in the area and we will be back ourselves as well.

My girlfriend and I sincerely enjoyed our 1 night stay at Finca Mei Tai. Eric and Cecile were the most genuinely friendly hosts we have met in Costa Rica have a very interesting life story (and that is saying something!). Their finca is on a beautiful piece of land set in the mountains, which we were encouraged to enjoy on a short hike through the cacao plantations after a delicious complimentary breakfast made by Eric and Cecile themselves. The room was uniquely decorated, spotless, and very comfortable. The location is perfect for access to the Tenorio Volcano/Rio Celeste hike, and also great if your looking for a longer stay of the beaten path!

Nicht nur die Anlage ist atemberaubend und mitten in der Natur, auch die Gastgeber Cecile und Eric geben einem, ab der ersten Minute, das GefĂŒhl bei guten Freunden zu ĂŒbernachten. Die Bungalows stehen mitten im GrĂŒnen, man kann morgens von der Terrasse aus Tukane beobachten und brĂŒll Affen hören, nachts kann einem mal ein Opossum oder ein Frosch ĂŒber den Weg laufen. Die Ausstattung ist auch fĂŒr europĂ€ische VerhĂ€ltnisse ĂŒber dem Standard . Man merkt an jeder Ecke das alles durchdacht und mit viel liebe zum Detail eingerichtet wurde. Bei liebe zum Detail kommen wir auch zum FrĂŒhstĂŒck, alles ist frisch zubereitet, das Brot macht Cecile jeden Morgen, Eric macht die passenden Omelettes mit exotischen GewĂŒrzen dazu, von der handgemachten Marmelade ĂŒber Wurst und KĂ€se ist alles vorhanden. ErwĂ€hnenswert fĂŒr mich als Kaffee Liebhaber ist auch die morgendliche PrĂ€sentation des Kaffees mit ErklĂ€rung zum Anbaugebiet. Da passt einfach alles. An dieser Stelle nochmal vielen Dank, Gracias und Merci an unsere Gastgeber. Danny und Dirk
