Noah's Forest by Tifakara

Liked: Great service Beautiful rooms Amazing food

Disliked: Everything

Liked: I liked the facility and location.

Disliked: I disliked them ruining my birthday by telling me a day before that I cannot have a photographer that they know and like on the property nor a makeup artist and they did not even try to recommend or give me options on ways they can help. Instead they kept asking me what else they can do as if I know what they are capable of doing. They didn't even offer to take photos for me or see if I can use a photographer of theirs, ask me the name of my photographer because he has been on those grounds multiple times that's why I hired him I saw his photos at Noah's Forest, nor did they see if a staff member can do makeup just 0% effort to accommodate the situation on my birthday. Who does that at a 5 Star resort? Strange and very rude. I had to use my selfie stick around the property and it turned out even the manager knew Oscar the Photographer because he's done photos of their property many times with no issues before which means all the had to do was ask me more information instead they just cold-heartedly told me no, no exceptions, 0% effort whatsoever, and the photoshoot was planned in advanced to be done on my birthday at 8am the exact time of my birth. Also, room service and food may be a bit slow so order early and it is 100% worth it, though they could admittedly use more seasoning and flavor on their protein, but the quality of food and how organic it is amazing. The views are absolutely STUNNING and the place is very safe. Fortunately, I managed to get some decent pictures with my selfie stick tripod and Google Pixel phone. I will post more later. The food is extremely expensive. I am used to all-inclusive resorts. If they aren't going to do all-inclusive they should just add some sort of food and drink voucher or something. Overall, it was a nice experience and an absolutely beautiful property aside from them ruining my birthday without making any attempts whatsoever to accommodate the situation.

Liked: Excellent

Disliked: A smokeing area.

Liked: The hotel itself is lovely but the staff really stood out. They were solicitous, friendly and helpful. Tatiana and Rolando demonstrated exceptional hospitality! The layout is also incredibly peaceful, nestled in the natural surroundings. We saw several animals right onsite, including sloths, Jesus lizards, and tree frogs. The facilities and amenities were also great. The pool, hot tubs, restaurant, and nature trails were great. The beds were comfortable and it was very peaceful at night for sleeping.

Liked: The room was stand alone bungalow which provided all the privacy we needed.

Disliked: I feel like the food was a bit pricey. While breakfast was included, but choices were limited.

Liked: We stayed in the Adults only section (Noah’s Hideaway) and it couldn’t have been more perfect! We loved how clean and modern the room was and how spacious it was! We had a large bungalow (1200+ sq ft) that had an in-ground spa off our back deck. The bathroom area was unbelievable with a dual person shower, soaking tub, beautiful dual vanity sinks, a bidet, and a large walk-in closet. The outdoor lobby at Noah’s Forest was beautiful and the restaurant, Acacia, provided the perfect ambiance for dinner (often times with live music) as well as breakfast the next morning! The food was delicious! The location was also ideal as it is very close to downtown La Fortuna if you want to have dinner in town. Noah’s Forest is an area central to all of the activities that we had planned and is one of the hotels where tour operators will pick you up if needed. The best part of the stay was all of the friendly staff who made our stay feel so warm and personable. They all remembered our names and were always greeted with smiles! They definitely all go out of their way to meet your every need. We were very sad to leave.

Disliked: We loved everything!

Liked: We absolutely loved our stay at Noah’s Forest. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. A special thank you to Allan, who made our arrival unforgettable. The wonderful room upgrade was such an unexpected surprise — we honestly felt like presidents in our beautiful villa with a private pool/jacuzzi! My wife especially loved the walk-in closet and the gorgeous bathrobes with sloths. 🦥 Jeisson deserves a very special mention as well. He is incredibly kind, genuine and passionate about what he does. His sloth tour around the hotel grounds was one of our favourite experiences — he took his time showing us sloths, frogs, iguanas, plants and so many little details we would never have noticed ourselves. And thank you to Cristel at the front desk, who was always warm, friendly and welcoming. The property itself is beautiful, peaceful and surrounded by nature, the villa was spacious and comfortable, and the entire team made our four nights feel very special. We would happily come back.

Disliked: Honestly, nothing worth mentioning. We had a wonderful stay.

Liked: Location and overall Staff, specially the room sdidndid+t ervice and the restaurant staff were great.
