Guest reviews for El Sabanero Eco Lodge

5 out of 5

The staff makes you feel like Family

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
We have been to El Sabanero 6 times already and would not consider another location to stay. Harold, Susi, Kurt and Donald make you feel like part of the family and we always leave El Sabanero with new friends with whom we have interacted. The serenity of the lodge in the hills and the proximity of the beaches and activities make this an ideal place to stay when in Costa Rica.
