Rancho De Lelo Ecolodge

“Tranquility and the views!”

Perfect Eclodge -- gorgeous, every view is beautiful, the owners are very friendly and helpful. The breeze at night kept the cabin cool and was relaxing to me, but not to my husband. It also dried out any wet clothes we left on the porch. Everything is as the pictures show but more beautiful and tranquil in person. It is an eco lodge, my 7 year old was delighted to find a lizard inside the cabin. The food was all delicious, you have to let them know by 3p each day if you are having dinner there. Communication thru WhatsApp was easy as we were out exploring. Beds were comfortable, shower was great. Mini fridge in the room is very nice to have. They no longer have chickens on the property. The tilapia pond is fished with a net now as they had issues with using fishing poles and hurting the smaller fish. Kids could help feed the fish.

“A Wonderful Ecolodge and Highlight of our Costa Rica Vacation.”

This is a beautiful lodge run by a wonderful family. I wish we had planned another night here. Our room was one of 4 cabins and was very comfortable and spacious, with AC, a small fridge, and coffee in the room. The family makes every attempt to use food sourced from their farm or other local suppliers. The complimentary breakfast was simple, filling, and absolutely delicious. We opted to eat a dinner on-site and it was a fantastic array of freshly smoked pork (a local pig) with fresh tilapia, vegetables, and fruit. The lodge is about 20mins from Santa Elena and the Monteverde Cloud Forest and while the roads are rough, the views are spectacular. If your goal is to support locally owned businesses, you can't do better than Ranch de Lelo. This is a family fun lodge that showcases everything that makes Costa RIca a wonderful place to visit. The are charming, helpful, generous, and the best kind of people you could hope to spend time around.

“A beautiful restful family-run lodge”

A great place to stay, beds comfortable, cabins clean, spacious and inviting . The whole place is well set out with a football field we had a lot of fun playing football in. The food at the onsite restaurant is delicious, the menu is somewhat limited as would be expected in such a small place but they happily accomodate dour vegetarian requests . The family who live here and run the lodge are friendly and warm and work together as a team to run a great place . The only down side to this place is the very bad roads leading to it, unsealed , potholes etc .. but this is not the lodges fault of course and I believe in Monteverde is common for roads to be like this . Would highly recommend this place to families or couples

We had a fantastic time at Rancho De Lelo, staying for two nights with our three kids. This ecolodge, located just outside Monteverde, is truly special. While the rooms are basic, they have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Sitting on the balcony at night, listening to the sounds of nature, was a magical experience, especially with the kids. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, even when we were a bit nervous about driving back after sunset. The food was outstanding! You have to try their dinner menu (shoutout to the chef! The fried Tilapia is a must). The property is well-kept, with a lovely little pool and a great soccer field for some family fun. Just keep in mind that the only access is via a gravel road, so in the rainy season, a 4x4 vehicle is recommended. Overall, it was a wonderful stay that our whole family will cherish, and I highly recommend it. Thank you, Rancho De Lelo, for adding to our Costa Rica adventure!
