Eladio was very friendly and accommodating, and the house was super clean, comfortable, and cute. Cañas Dulces is a sweet little town, and the views of the volcanoes are beautiful. It is a great location for near access to Rincon de la Vieja National Park.

This is a true rustic Costa Rican cottage! If you truly want to immerse yourself in the Pura Vida local life this place is for you! Bring earplugs as the road traffic can be loud but the pool & property is beautiful & charming! Bird watching is top notch as well as iguana observing! But the true “cherry on top of the cake” are the hosts, Eladio & Vanessa! They are the kindest salt of the earth people! They truly made this Costa Rican experience golden for us!

Hi Caroline, it was wonderful having you at Eladios Place, such wonderful people. I will always remember you. I have so many memories of you, like when we went to the rainforest and found the anteater. Every time I go back to the rainforest, I remember that lovely moment. Anyway, you are all great. Sending you a warm hug, full of blessings.

Eladio was an amazing host & guide

I brought my son on a Father son trip & Eladio & his wife treated us like family. Eladio knew just where to take us to see so many animals. We went to the rain forest & got to experience an exclusive hot spring. I would definitely recommend staying at Eladio & Vanessa's place!

Looking forward to returning to Eladio's Place.

Rustic accommodations for up to 6 people, maybe more. Very clean and well cared for. The property is beautiful with a nice pool and manicured ornamental gardens. Very secure and safe with the ideal location for exploring Guanacaste. Eladio and Vanessa were very caring and attentive to our needs.

Excellent wildlife and hiking tours

Eladio is a wonderful guide and host. He drives you in a landcruiser to the most off the beaten track to experience authentic Costa Rica areas. The roads are rough and long but well worth the views and experience with wildlife and waterfalls that no tourists get to see. The accommodation is rustic like an alpine hike hut and pool and grounds are nice. Highlights swimming in a waterfall, holding baby crocodile, and viewing endangered

Great experience.

The property was just as described. Eladio is a great host with even better excursions. The first day we seen howler monkeys, macaws, white face monkeys and plenty of crocodiles. The parrots play in the trees right outside of the house along with the iguanas.

Beautiful Property!!

We had a wonderful stay at Eladio’s place. Eladio and his family are amazing hosts and Eladio was there for anything that we needed or asked.Overall the property is wonderful, lush, the pool is amazing and the iguanas are extremely entertaining. We loved this very homey abode and were very comfortable here!It would be an advantage to have a vehicle as you’re not close to amenities but Eladio will take you places and is an excellent tour guide.The beds could use a little update but the entire place and surroundings far more than made up for it!

Amazing

We spent our last 2 days out of our 7 day trip at eladios and the tour we took with Eladio ended up being our favorite part of the the trip. Eladio and his family are very welcoming and good vibes all around. The tour was an unforgettable very special experience. If you're looking for a tour away from the crowds and other tourists and you want to support the locals and taste authentic Costa Rican cuisine Eladios is the perfect place for you. Also the place was rustic, giant iguanas and beautiful birds and a very special spot. We can't wait to go back and see Eladio again.

Great place, amazing owners, amazing grounds

If you are looking to stay with amazing people from Costa Rica look no further. If you are looking for a chance to have authentic costa Rica food delivered to your house if desired look no further. If you are looking for a tour guide who knows Costa Rica better than anyone in the Liberia area look no further. If you are looking to go on tours with little to no other tourists look no further. The owners are amazing people who know and love Costa Rica. If you are a looking for a once in a lifetime surf experience look no further.

Amazing experience from minute one

We chose Eladios Place based on reviews on his entire experience, from lodging, to distance from airport to amenities, like tours. Everything was exceptional and he welcomed us into his family from the minute we arrived. His tours bring you off the beaten path and you get to learn about the REAL Costa Rica....not some typical tourist resort where you have to do whatever cookie cutter tour they have available. His love of country and ecosystems shines through and we really enjoyed it. Exactly the experience we were looking for. Thank you Eladio's Place!

Rustic accommodations

The accommodations were rustic, with two upstairs bedrooms sharing one bathroom. Air conditioning was only available in the bedrooms. There was also an outdoor sink and toilet available. The property was generally clean, but the bathrooms require some attention. Eladio was very friendly and helpful and this was appreciated.

If are looking for a true "tico" experience, Eladio, is a master host. He lives life to the fullest; the true essence of PURA VIDA! He will take you to exquisite places and restaurants tourists never go. Eladio is in top condition. It is helpful that you are too. Bring earplugs because truck noise echoes from Hwy 1. We had a massage. Hiked in the jungle, Went to a waterfall, thermal pool, and a Pacific sunset. Eladio just wants you to be happy.
