Superb stay but too short (2 days) in Rancho Margot. A lovely welcome from Juan and all his farm employees. A great autonomous operation and a superb visit to understand how it works. To visit without hesitation in our opinion over 3 days minimum.

Most visitors stay longer than we did to learn about the permaculture and sustainability ethos or there on a volunteering stint, but we were made to feel very welcome. The staff are friendly, helpful and passionate about their home. Our 2-night stay allowed us to enjoy a morning farm tour and evening twilight walk, hike up to the top of the property to take in the spectacular views of the lake and volcano, afternoon horse riding hack to explore the surrounding areas and relaxing dip in the spring pools. Our deluxe room was big and comfortable with farm made soap provided. The kitchen staff provided meals that represented the farm to plate and local community buying concept and the pizza made with farm made cheese was some of the best I've eaten. Wi-fi was available in the bar and communal areas, but not the rooms. The drive into Rancho Margot is bumpy and unmade, so slow and although a 4x4 isn't a must, it is recommended. It's a great base to look upon the Arenal sights rather than being in it and looking outwards.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Rancho Margot Ecolodge in March 2025. We absolutely loved our time there. The food was amazing, the farm tour was neat, and the grounds were gorgeous and well maintained. The bungalow we stayed in was cozy and very clean. The best part was the staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and made our stay so comfortable. We would definitely recommend Rancho Margot!!

Eco Jungle Ranch
Exactly what we were looking for in an eco + budget friendly stay in the heart of Costa Rica. Far away enough from the hustle and tourist madness of La Fortuna but close enough that you can still take a short drive to all the sights. Rancho Margot food was average and having access to three meals a day was clutch. Legit working farm and the tour is a must. Horse back riding with a river crossing. Played soccer, pool, ping pong. Yoga classes in a true pura vida scene. El Mirador hike for volcano views. Not fancy amenities but clean rooms and fresh farm made soap. All the jungle feels and sounds. Extremely friendly young staff that truly seemed that they enjoyed their jobs.

I really loved this place and already want to return. Two days is not enough time! It is rustic, like glamping accommodations but if you’re into health, authenticity, and sustainability, it’s such a dreamy, magical place. I loved the horse riding and farm tour. Make time for them. The farm tour is thorough! We wished we could make the cheese and soap but ran out of time to take those classes. The food was so great—the tomatoes taste like tomatoes! The WiFi is spotty in the cabin & frankly it helped my mental health! The front desk and staff are so kind and real people who truly connect with you.

Beautiful location with a great story of hoow it got started. Highly recommend this place to everyone and anyone. Staff were fantastic, our tour was insightful and the food was amazing and so fresh. Came with 3 kids age 1,3 and 5 and they absolutely loved the place as much as we did.
