Hotel Ranch Cero Azul is a peaceful retreat with charming cabins by a gently flowing river. The serene setting and warm hospitality make it a perfect escape into nature.

Lots of birds, trees and flowering plants from our front and back porch. Restaurant food was good. The bed was comfortable but furniture and lighting could be improved. Good location with other restaurants either walkable or short drive away.

Very good experience with everything. Staff were helpful and friendly. The bungalows are large and very unique. Close enough to the city but far enough away to feel safe. Great location next to the jungle and the river walk. The Howler monkeys woke us up early each morning but that was part of the whole experience. Very good food at the onsite restaurant as well. We would definitely stay there again.

Fabulous place in gorgeous nature. The cabins are very fun and feel private with all the vegetation around. We had excellent service from the staff, and a great, rainy night tour on the property from Carina. Very quick walk to mini market and restaurants but off the main drag so it’s nice and quiet
