Lands in Love Hotel and Resort

I would like to highly recommend Lior Esh who organized our trip to Costa Rica. Lior planned an amazing trip for us, chose excellent hotels and charming professional guides. Every evening she explained to us the plan for the next day, what to wear and how to get there and she was available and attentive to our every request. We stayed at LANDS IN LOVE and were happy to get to know her and the friends who founded this paradise and discovered how delicious and rich the vegan food is. Many thanks Lior for a perfect trip that we wouldn't have been able to do without you!!!

i stayed at this hotel in december 2024. i can’t even describe in words how bad this hotel was. to be honest it shouldn’t even be called a “hotel”. this place was a true dumpster, the room was absolutely disgustingly dirty, bugs EVERYWHERE, wet mattresses, no sheets, no room for our luggage’s, bug infested walls, showers were very dirty, the sink wouldn’t turn on, i could go on forever with how many things were wrong with this dumpster. there was also a dog shelter right next to this place and the whole entire area was reeking of strong dog pee. even while we were eating in the restaurant( which had spiders everywhere and horrible food) you could still smell strong dog pee. it was also incredibly far so there wasn’t any options for food. i would absolutely not recommend this hotel to anybody.

Lands in Love Vegan Resort was the highlight of my trip to Costa Rica. It is a very charming and quiet place with a great story. After an exhausting week in the hectic sprawl of San José, arriving at this serene, nature-surrounded retreat was exactly what I needed. Even before I arrived, the staff at Lands in Love were incredibly accommodating and helpful. They arranged transportation from San José to the resort and promptly answered all my logistical questions. When I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and hospitality that made me feel like I was coming home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable—whether by helping me choose adventure activities, serving delicious food, or providing guided tours of the property. The property itself is expansive and features many animals from the on-site sanctuary. It was heartwarming to see dogs being walked, ducks waddling across the road, and to spend time with a very friendly, chubby cat in the lobby. The other guests were also very friendly and it just felt like everyone here was happy. The food served throughout the day was fantastic, and I never got bored eating here three times a day. The menu offers dishes from various international cuisines, so there’s something for everyone. The portions were generous and satisfying. Even as a vegan establishment, the food was so convincingly authentic that I had to double-check! Even if you're not staying at the resort, it’s worth stopping by for lunch and visiting the animals on the property. Thank you to everyone at Lands in Love who made my stay in Costa Rica unforgettable. I’m already planning my next trip back!

Lovely place in the liftoff the forest.clean comfy rooms. Not fancy. Friendly staff and incredible vegan food. In residence exotic ducks. A little dog barking as they are a rescue center. It is about an hour drive from some of the tourist attractions in la fortuna. Close to rafting/ zip lining and other adventures

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! Lands in love is so much more than just a resort. It offers a friendly, approachable atmosphere with an incredible story. The food was insanely good (and I say this as a non vegan too!) All areas are so clean and fresh. Can't fault the staff in any way and the activity centre attached offers a range of amazing things to do for all ages. The animal rescue centre attached is such a bonus - the love and affection for the animals just radiates. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area

Lands in Love / Animal Love is a true beautiful sanctuary!!! If you love animals, the rainforest, fresh healthy food, and a meaningful experience, you must come here!!! The owners are 16 friends who have dedicated their lives to taking care of the over 1000 animals here, cats, dogs, birds, horses, goats, sheep, and more! They don’t turn any away, and instead provide the care necessary to save all the animals even if it costs them a fortune. I was so moved by their dedication! You can also volunteer here and stay for free for two weeks. We are so grateful for this stay. It was so special to wake up every morning to a gorgeous view of lush rainforest, then go eat a yummy breakfast, and embark on our adventure for the day! Highly recommend the tours (we did canopy tour, ATV, and canyoning) and make sure you visit all the cute animals and show them love!!! Truly a special place!
