Our stay at La Anita was the highlight of our two week trip traveling throughout Costa Rica. Pablo, the owner, is a superb and gracious host who pays the utmost attention to every minute detail. We were shown impeccable hospitality and made to feel welcomed and extremely comfortable. The chocolate tour was over the top!

Staff was great. Dinner was amazing, sea bass with homemade pesto. Room was nice with comfortable bed. It was just late by the time we got our car rental. The road getting there is tough. Be prepared for a bumpy ride. Owner is kind and told us about the chocolate production on premises.

I cannot recommend it enough! Our only wish was that we stayed longer. The breakfast was phenomenal, the service was excellent. We had to leave early to catch a tour and they moved breakfast an hour ahead for us. We got in late and Pablo was up waiting for us and greeted us, gave us a tour, and just got to know us. We will absolutely be here again. Only note: you do need 4WD to get here if it’s been raining, at least if you’re coming from Rincon

What an authentic and beautiful place with the most genteel, charming and gracious hosts! Several forest walking paths and an orange tree outside the cottage with a never-ending stream of varied bird life to watch. And chocolate factory on site - very interesting.

We had a fabulous two days at Finca La Anita. Pablo and Ana were fabulous hosts and we truly enjoyed learning from their knowledge of all things Costa Rican, especially the history and quality of chocolate and coffee. We stayed in cabin 8 which was comfortably rustic with a refrigerator. We found the temperature in mid Feb to be approx 10 degrees C cooler than the coast. Travel by SUV is best as the road is quite rough at times. The home cooked meals were authentic, yummy and filling. We loved both the peacefullness, the nature and the birds at Finca La Anita. Many thanks Pablo and Ana, we are already looking forward to our next visit.

Loved La Anita

Staying at La Anita was an amazing experience for my mom and I. Pablo and Ana are amazing hosts who take a personal interest in all their guests. The food was delicious and the grounds of the ranch are beautifully taken care of. It was nice to stay in the jungle and feel disconnected but still stay in a clean and safe environment. Beware of the roads on the way to the ranch, they can be a bit challenging. And be careful to not accidentally let bugs in your room at night, shut the door quickly! Overall, we enjoyed La Anita very much and highly recommend it to others.
