A special place with lots of nature This was my 2nd visit to Tiskita & I found it to be amazing both times. The amount of wildlife that is seen up close & on the hikes is fantastic. The staff are friendly & helpful. The horseback rides are interesting & well-done. The setting is quiet without extraneous noise such as televisions, but with lots of nature sounds (howler monkeys, macaws, frogs, etc). I would definitely like to return.

Honeymoon to remember My wife and I went here for the second half of our honeymoon and it was truly an amazing way to finish our time in Costa Rica. It was an interesting experience getting to the lodge as it is quite remote, but the remoteness added to the charm of the lodge. It is also not a cheap place to stay, but in my opinion, it was worth it. We enjoyed all of the wildlife that could be seen around the property. We saw three species of monkey, agoutis, koatis, and many species of colourful birds all from our room. The jungle pools and waterfall nearby were idyllic places for a swim surrounded by jungle. The tour guide, Mario, was knowledgeable and friendly and helped to point out various animals on our walks including 6 sloths in one afternoon. The food was delicious and the rooms were clean. We were both so pleased with it and have wonderful memories of our honeymoon. We would both like to return in the future, More

Birding and animal hot spot! Tiskita is a very professional and well appointed lodge. Situated on the hillside above the ocean, near Punta Banco, one is afforded great views and lovely afternoon breezes.

The rooms are spacious, with nice decks for relaxing and viewing the jungle activity and/or ocean views. The bathrooms are modern and exceptionally clean. Wifi is free and available only at the central lodge. Laundry service is available.

There is a pool and game area next to the lodge. We saw teenagers greatly enjoying these areas.

Our guide, Mario, is top notch in his knowledge. We were continually amazed at his ability to hear the slightest sound then mimic the bird call which then often brought the bird right to us! He was very adept at helping us see tiny birds in the thick of the branches. We had very good hikes and funny story-telling times with him!

All of the staff was very courteous and attentive to our needs. I have gluten allergies which they accommodated very nicely.

I highly recommend Tiskita but also want to say that, if you really want the best experience, plan to stay there at least four days but more is better. You are experiencing the live animal world moving around as they need so, by you also being active in hiking trails, especially with Mario to help you heard and see things, you will come to really enjoy and respect the beauty of nature they are working hard to protect in lovely Costa Rica.

Ecolodge with birds, monkeys and the forest right outside your windows Tiskita Jungle Lodge is truly in the middle of the rain forest so you can hear and see squirrel monkeys and multiple birds from your room. This is an ecolodge with ceiling fan and no A/C, screened in windows without glass and a bathroom that is open to the forest. The bathroom does feature a hot water shower and a flush toilet. There is no food allowed in the rooms as it would attract wildlife to enter the room. There are forest views on two sides and the ocean view from the front porch. The focus is the wildlife and our guide showed us three types of monkeys, agoutis, coatis, kinkajous, three-toed sloths, scarlet macaws, toucans, aracari, manakins, honeycreepers, vireos, spadebills, kingbirds and tanagers. Breakfast and lunch are buffet style and dinner is served.

This place is heaven I spent 5 weeks at this amazing jungle lodge and it was the best time of my life! This place is a piece of heaven. The monkeys playing in the trees, there is so much wildlife and the knowledge of the owners about nature and the trees and the animals is incredible! A must stop if you are in the area

Beautiful Place Beautiful place to enjoy the Nature , rooms where nicely made and you can always see monkey's & other animals around your room.

Service was excellent and food was very healthy & Tasty.

You can also enjoy free hike provided by resort around the resort jungle.

Beautiful non-commercial place to experience nature up close My wife and I were at Tiskita in early Feb, 2020 and it was a great all-around experience. One of our favorite nature lodges ever!

If you want to settle into a place which is totally eco-friendly and non-commercialized, this is the place. Nothing fancy, just a great experience of the pacific coast jungle (and nearby beach) at your own pace.

The resident guide, Mario, is a fount of knowledge and is always ready to help you see and appreciate things you might otherwise miss. I have a problem walking distances and he was very accommodating in enabling me to explore at my own pace and get to places I would otherwise have difficulty with.

The room we were in was spacious (for a nature lodge) and had a balcony from which we could easily view scarlet macaws, frigatebirds, and lots of different tropical butterflies. Some people might not like being woken up just before dawn by the cries of Howler monkeys, as we were one morning, but for us this was part of the fun!

The food we were served was yummy and our dietary requirements were easily accommodated. Plus there was homemade chocolate and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. In fact Tiskita was originally started as a farm with an orchard, but when all the animals showed up to enjoy the fruit, the founder decided to turn it into a nature lodge. Which says a lot about the kind of place it is!

All in all very highly recommended for those who want the total opposite of Disney.

Charming lodge tucked away in an enchanting location I love the lodge and this relatively unknown part of CR. The lodge offers all the basics and much more. There is the option to explore locally with or without guides the lodge will source for you. It was an amazing experience - one I hope to repeat soon!
