2. La Fortuna; San Ramón (from USD 181)
This wood cabin is a perfect choice for large families or groups looking to relax and reconnect with nature. You and your pets can enjoy the peace at this haven. It is located in a remote area in the province of Alajuela where sights of sloths, toucans, and monkeys are normal, so be prepared for a bit of drive. The place is quiet and calming, but there are no nearby streets, and the path gets slippery after it rains.
The accommodation is simple, but the place is yours alone. There is a small handmade pool, a river that passes by the property, and two small lakes.
