Santa Elena Lodge is a gem in the rough. If you are looking for an authentic Costa Rican experience, stay here. This family run business has created a comfortable, beautiful ,clean and accomodating place for travelers of all types. If you are traveling to Cuajiniquil for sport fishing, diving or snorkeling, the local dive shop is less than 500 meters away and provides an exceptional experience! If you are looking to explore the reserve , national park or quiet sandy beaches, Santa Elena Lodge is the place to call home. There is a grocery store and restaraunt right next door. The youngest daughter speaks very good english and the rest of the family is very engaging, sharing history, local politics and nature.

Mother has a beautiful garden in back yard. We had an awesome breakfast. Restaurant next door was awesome. Price was as advertised. WiFi great reception. Father provided info about nearby attractions. Service was excellent.

My husband and I stayed here for8 days. We wanted to get a sense of Costa Rica without a lot of tourists. We found this place based on the high ratings in the Guanacaste region. We are so glad to have discovered this authentic part of Costa Rica and the Santa Elena Lodge. It is run by a family who couldn't be better hosts. The youngest daughter speaks very good english, making it an easy way to learn about the area and the history of the lodge. The family is so helpful and welcoming. The place is kept up very well and clean. We highly recommend this place for your stay in the Guanacaste region close to beaches and natural reserves in the Dry Tropical forested region

We stayed 2 nights. The bed was comfortable, the a.c. worked. It was quiet. Room 1 has zero insulation in the ceiling. You hear the t.v. upstairs as if it was in your room, but the owner turned it down immediately when I asked. The beach is beautiful to watch, not to swim. Stinging medusas. In all, the price of 85 dollars was a little too much.

Simple, very clean and comfortable. Perfect if you appreciate quiet places. Location is perfect for visiting Junquillal beach (ACG) and Santa Rosa National Park (Murciélago sector). Tasty breakfast included.

Un lugar muy bonito, excelente atención de parte del personal. El precio ligeramente alto teniendo en cuenta que lo visité en temporada baja.

Our family of four had a wonderful stay at the Santa Elena Lodge. The rooms and beds were very comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the shower was very satisfying. My son appreciated the air conditioning in room. The lodge was finished in beautiful and aromatic hardwood on the walls and ceiling. The owner Manuel and his family were welcoming and helpful. If your Spanish is non-existent, like ours, his daughter’s English was more than adequate. She helped us to arrange a local guide to the Santa Rosa National Park and a second guide for a fishing trip. There is good grocery store on one side of the lodge and restaurant on the other side.
