Overview

The impressive Hotel Si Como No resort and wildlife refuge spans some ten acres and is located in a lovely spot on a tranquil hillside midway along Costa Rica’s west coast, overlooking the sparkling Pacific Ocean. The property is conveniently located just a short distance from the Manuel Antonio National Park, one of the country’s most popular parks due to its exceptionally intense biodiversity. Constructed with sustainability in mind and making use of the area’s particular topography, the resort’s 58 guestrooms and facilities are nestled right into their natural rainforest surroundings. There is a free shuttle service to the beach.

All 58 rooms are seamlessly integrated into the resort’s hilly terrain, offering an immersive experience complete with lush, tropical jungle surroundings and captivating views of land and sea (note that the Standard Rooms have jungle views only). Each room has a private balcony, as well as air conditioning, ceiling fans and a minibar. In keeping with the resort’s ethos of being completely at one with nature, there are no televisions in any of the guestrooms. In addition to the Standard Rooms, there are larger, split-level Superior Rooms, even larger Deluxe Rooms, and the Deluxe Suites which are great for families and honeymooners.

The ‘Claro Que Seafood Grill' is a sophisticated dining venue that specialises in seafood and has live music on select evenings. The resort’s other restaurant, ‘Rico Tico Jungle Grill’, has a more casual vibe and is well-known for its Banana Flambé show, a delightful fiery spectacle! This restaurant has a canopied seating area, a diverse menu and poolside service for those wishing to enjoy light bites and refreshing drinks by the pool.

When it comes to unwinding, there’s the Cala Spa, whose extensive line-up of treatments includes manicures, scrubs, facials and massages, with both indoor and outdoor sessions available. Other on-site facilities include a swimming pool with a waterslide and a cinema showing a selection of films.

There’s a wide range of activities on offer designed to showcase the rich biodiversity and natural wonders of the area, with some leisurely pursuits and others more physically challenging. The options include a visit to the nearby national park which positively teems with wildlife, a tour of the resort’s own butterfly atrium, fascinating excursions into the rainforest and various water-based activities such as snorkelling, parasailing, surfing and more.

Children of all ages are more than welcome. The resort is decidedly family friendly, there is a fun family swimming pool with waterfall slide and a small cinema for rainy days. Due to the rural location of the lodge, parents are reminded to keep a close eye on their children at all times.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
