This is a beautiful, secluded, serene and hidden corner of Costa Rica. Even though remote we felt like we were experiencing an authentic piece of Costa Rica, completely removed from everything and in the middle of nature. The property is tucked in a stunning green valley and surrounded by rivers and waterfalls. The villa that we stayed in was gorgeous, across the river from the main buildings, with a private hot tub and with every comfort you can ask for. Our family hiked, did zip lining, horseback riding, archery, a cooking class and sound healing....all amazing and on property. The staff were wonderful, everyone of them attentive and kind and professional. My daughter and I have celiac disease and they went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of....and the food is incredible, the best we had during our Costa Rican travels. I will remember the peacefulness, the sound of the river current, the birds, cicadas and falling rain when I am stressed in the real world.

El Silencio was the highlight of our family vacation. I was traveling with my son, daughter in law, and 4 year old twins. The staff were ALL so wonderful, especially Julio who drove our cart to take us for dining and sight seeing. The landscaping was beautiful, the food beyond delicious, and the afternoon hot chocolate to die for. Liv, the girl twin, wanted Anyale, the dining room hostess, to come home with us!

Amazing experience, fantastic place to rest, meditate and get away from the stress. The food in the restaurant is very good, the hotel has high quality facilities, everything is surrounded by rivers and nature, and the personal is friendly and helpful. One of the best vacations I have ever had.

This is a beautiful property but you must know that it is raining, wet and overcast most of the time. The hikes to the waterfalls were tough in the mud and rain but worth the trip. My issue with this resort is for the cost, they didn't offer what I expected. The cabins were not properly vented with dehumidifiers and fans so everything from towels, shoes, sheets, clothes, vitamins were always damp. My sinuses were literally plugged the entire time. Between the food and excursions you will be spending $1,000+ a day to vacation in dark and damp cabins. We traveled to the cloud forest in Ecuador and had a much better experience. The resort there offered rubber boots, jackets, and most importantly "dry rooms" to dry out all the wet clothes and the resort was properly ventilated to keep it dry and mold free so when our hikes were done, we were comfortable. They also offered a lot more to do with gondola rides, butterfly compounds, self feeding hummingbird refuge, guided tours to the waterfalls, snacks and meals included. El Silencio has a beautiful wellness center for fitness but offers 1 complimentary yoga class a day. The rest of the time this facility just sits there. Food was expensive but very fresh and tasty. Staff was very nice and helpful but for the cost, you can definitely get a better experience elsewhere.

We had booked for sun beds on the beach, after sending multiple emails to move a previous lunch booking to tie in with our visit we had a response but no further contact or confirmation that this had been sorted despite trying to reach them. We have a baby so getting to places at the time stated is hard enough but we decided to go for it as we hoped for a nice family day out. On arrival my husband was turned away as they had clearly least minute decided to take on a big event for an yaught that had anchored on the beach and by doing so letting down everyone who has booked for the day without notice. We have been before and enjoyed a nice lunch last year. However I have to say the lady that is in charge of the beach and restaurant booking was very snooty and quite rude which almost put us off going again.we wish w head booked CBBC beach club who are very friendly. The worst part was they lied and said they’d been phoning us, we have not one missed call or email response! Very disappointing and we hope to receive our refund soon.

This is a very special place. Luxury meets nature in the most soothing setting. I just returned for my 2nd visit - the first in 2021, and now with two of my friends in 2025. The addition of a new tree house style yoga studio and a new reception building with a coffee shop was a delightful surprise. The villas are amazing - I stayed in a 2 bedroom villa and the attention to detail and luxury are on point. The staff is excellent and all are extremely friendly, we were sad to say goodby to so many wonderful people we met! We did several of the experiences including the cultural experience, the coffee tasting, cooking class, yoga classes and numerous trips to their spa (the services are outstanding!). The property itself is gorgeous, there are 3 waterfalls on the grounds that you can hike to and the dense cloud forest made for a beautiful and relaxing backdrop. The cuisine and wine selection are excellent! I really only have amazing things to say about the property, staff and experience staying in this special place. If you have the opportunity to visit you will not be disappointed!

Best trip ever! I highly recommend a stay at this cloud forest retreat. My suite #16 was centrally located to everything on the property with a private jacuzzi to view the clouds moving over the mountains everyday. The lodge staff, guides, chefs, hostees, mixiologist/bartender, servers, drivers, etc. were all so attentive, friendly, and professional. Do try a volcano clay massage at the spa with Lina. She is fabulous! The food & cocktails experience is not to be missed. Cooking lessons with Chef Brendan was fantastic! The private location overlooking the river was perfect as he educated me on making local food like tortillas, stuffed cassava rolls, cilantro chicken & potatoes, and dessert sweet treats. Loved it! Horseback riding and canopy ziplining were my favorite adventure experiences. Finally, I planted a tree by the Hummingbird Garden which I dedicated to my husband. Amazing and touching experience for me. I will always remember it, so sweet.
