Tifakara by the Waterfall

8/10 Good
"The property itself was beautiful, and the staff was consistently friendly and welcoming. I especially enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere—the sounds of frogs and birds created a relaxing setting. The food was good, and the service was great overall. Unfortunately, I did experience an issue with a leak in my room. Water was dripping from the ceiling onto my pillows and, at times, onto me during the night. When I reported it to the staff, I was told it was condensation from the AC unit. While I appreciated the explanation, I was disappointed that the issue was not resolved, as it continued to affect my comfort and sleep. Aside from that inconvenience, I enjoyed my stay and appreciated the beauty and relaxing atmosphere of the property. I would just encourage future guests to report any room maintenance issues promptly and hope the hotel takes swift action to resolve them"

10/10 Excellent
"We could not be happier with our stay at Casa Armonia! The house is incredibly spacious and as well equipped as any rental I have ever stayed in. We saw monkeys almost every day from the backyard, and walked a minute down the road to a night tour, where we saw a sloth, snakes, frogs, and more! The rooms are massive and the beds very comfortable. We travelled with our grandchildren, and the trampoline and swing set in the backyard kept them busy! The hot tub was icing on the cake for colder or rainy nights, where we could relax while watching spider monkeys jump from tree to tree.The hosts were friendly, quick to reply, and made great recommendations on what to do and where to eat. La Fortuna has become one of our favorite vacation destinations, and it all started with Casa Armonia! Thank you Silvia for hosting us, and we will absolutely be back!"
