Suitree Experience Hotel

Everything was excellent from the moment we walked in. The staff, food, people, drinks, the stay, and the amazing views! They have a DJ at the highest point that plays on weekends as well. Various staff who will let you know the must try spots and provide guidance on what to do/where to go. Will definitely go back!

My wife and I stayed for 4 nights at Suitree Experience Hotel. We reserved the Treetop Suite (suite #1). We didn’t realize that this suite does not have the sweeping views of many of the other suites. Our suite had the lowest elevation and was in the midst of trees rather than above the trees. Initially we were disappointed to not have the sweeping views. But since we are birdwatchers, we ended up being very pleased with our suite. In the early morning hours we saw lots of great birds from our balcony, especially when using the Merlin app to identify and call in birds. We saw turquoise-browed motmots, black-headed trogons, and a ferruginous pygmy owl, among others. We liked that we didn’t have to climb uphill and downhill as much to walk to the restaurant, although you can always call for golf cart transportation. We had easy access to the 3 stone pools, which we used daily in the afternoon to cool off. We also had more shade, which we appreciated. The suite was comfortable and very clean, It had decent AC, especially in the bedroom. We appreciated the mini fridge. Laundry was very reasonably-priced. The staff are all super friendly and professional. They are definitely invested in making sure your stay is a great one. We had breakfast and dinner daily in the restaurant. Our breakfast was included in our room rate. Breakfast was good but not lavish: coffee, juice, small bowl of fruit, and a main dish, such as eggs with toast or rice/beans with eggs. Dinner options were varied enough to keep us happy for 4 days. We liked the seafood dishes the most, and we thought a number of them were excellent, especially the daily specials. They serve you complimentary bread with an herb cheese spread, both of which were really delicious. We did not do any excursions as we had our own car. We drove into Sardinal one day for lunch and had an excellent and very authentic meal at La Casona. Don’t be put off by the exterior! It is a set meal (casado) wtih choice of meat and includes juice, soup, and rice pudding, all for about $12. We also drove over to Ortego (about an hour away) and did a boat tour on the Tempisque River with Palo Verde Boat Tours, which we enjoyed (go early). We saw lots of crocodiles, iguanas, herons, and a large troop of white-faced monkeys frolicking in the trees right by the water. We climbed up to the Mirador one evening and enjoyed the beautiful sunset while drinking a beer. Suitree is about 40 minutes from the Liberia airport, which makes it very convenient at the start or end of a trip. We really enjoyed our time at Suitree Experience Hotel!

Intimate natural escape Beautiful place with a small intimate feeling and the best sunset happy hour one could imagine. Our hot tub was a bit too chlorined and we did have some ants that they helped remove but otherwise we were very happy!

Beautiful property, very tranquil, amazing sunsets.

The Suitree Experience is phenomenal. I accidentally stumbled onto this gem via Google Maps when planning routes and I am glad I did. These modern tree houses are amazing. The architecture and engineering boggles the mind. Each tree house can sleep 4 people. My kids (13 & 14) loved the bunk beds and the swings. The comfort is spot on. We stayed in the Quebracho (private hot tub) and the Ron Ron. The hot tub was clean and enjoyable. The Quebracho is more secluded from the main path, but you have to go down a flight of stairs and then back up to get into the treehouse. The Ron Ron is not as secluded, but honestly, the layout of the property and limited guests makes it feel like you are all alone. We enjoyed the main pool and hot tub. My kids even did their homework at the swim-up bar. The property is 20 minutes from Coco Beach. It’s really easy to get to town if needed. We booked a couple activities through Gabriela. A snorkeling tour and a massage. She had Paradise Spa come in and do the massages just below our Quebracho tree house on the open deck. The massage was great and relaxing, but the cool part was when the sun would pop out from the clouds and warm you up. Couple that with the birds talking through the forest, and it made for a memorable moment. Our snorkeling trip met some snags, but Gabriela came through amazingly. We booked a large catamaran through a company called Marlin del Rey. Unfortunately, they were not able to process our reservation in a timely manner. Gabriela and her partner Daniel stepped up and got us onto a private boat. This trip was waaaaaaay better. We went into the mangroves and snorkeled where the larger catamaran could not go. Just some amazing customer service. Speaking of customer service, Suitree has Johnny Madrigal. Wow…just wow. Johnny’s attention to our family was off the charts. It was like hanging out with your cool uncle. While the property has amazing architecture and amenities, Johnny is the lifeblood of the site. He helped us with our Spanish. He made cocktails and drink recommendations that perfect. But he treated our kids like they were his own. Suitree has a gem in him. This is probably the first hotel I have ever stayed at where I can see coming back.

This was an absolutely marvelous hotel in a challenging spot to get to. Don't let that stop you. The rooms, the food, the drinks, the views - everything was outstanding. Just one small thing.. you better be fit to very fit. The entire place is in a hill and it's unique and special, but I did 60 days of HIIT and weights to prep for this trip so I would not be the "old woman" who couldn't get around. So glad I did! They do have golf carts, but we just found ourselves walking. Truly charming and unforgettable little gem.
