Isla Chiquita Glamping Hotel

Isla Chiquita Glamping resort provides an experience like no other! Book an A/C cabin/tent-it’s going to be hot. Book excursions to Isla Tortuga and Curu park. Book a message. Enjoy the ice cold Pilzen and Imperial beer. Chill out. Pura Vida on island time. Our meals were excellent at the restaurant. The staff went the distance to make us feel comfortable. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The sunset views from the top of the island are epic. I highly recommend this place.

We spent a week at Isla Chiquita and had the most relaxing vacation! I loved so many things about it - our “tent” was super comfortable and clean, the views were beautiful, we enjoyed swimming in both the pool and ocean, and loved the cool soaking tub on our deck. We also did several of the fun and educational activities (Isla Tortuga trip, bird watching, bioluminescence boat trip, Curu Bio Reserve and fantastic massage) But the best part was the staff - so friendly and helpful throughout our stay - I didn’t want to say goodbye when our week was over!

I'm reluctant to write this review because I don't want to spoil this place but it is truly magical. If you are looking for a low-key, low fi , relaxing trip to a beautiful, carbon neutral spot this is it. It's a bit of a pain to get here. A few hour drive from San Jose airport then an hour plus ferry ride and then a short water and once you're on the island there's really not much to do except for swim laze kayak paddleboard hike her a massage or facial and eat but there are tours off island that they will set up. The menu is small the food was delicious. They also do a private dinner on the beach for special occasions which was magical. Not all of the tents have AC and it can get hot at night especially higher up on the hill and further from the ocean breeze is but with the fans on we were fine. Staff was uniformly lovely and warm.

Honestly, every single person we interacted with was excellent, starting from the moment we were picked up by the water taxi all the way through our stay. Isla Chiquita delivered comfort, hospitality, and a beautiful experience in every way. A big shout out tap all the staff-Manuel, Jimena, Jockson, Lenin, and Belen — were truly the best of the best. Everyone was attentive, kind, and made us feel genuinely cared for. Manuel and Jockson in the restaurant. They are outstanding at what they do! Every recommendation they gave us — from lunch and dinner dishes to cocktails and dessert — was spot on and absolutely delicious. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made every meal memorable.

Very nice family weekend activity. Great service, food, kayaking and bioluminescent tour

Everything was just perfect. Excellent location, relaxing views, kind staff, well maintained tents. Perfect getaway close to San Jose.

Was an exceptional experience, the place, nature, hospitality, peace, we would go back every time we can. Perfect scape for couples

The glamping room was very nice and comfortable. There were some miscommunication issues, but they all worked out. We did a bioluminescent tour with a group across the bay and the Curu bio reserve tour. Both were great! Our tent cabin was way up the hill and walking down was a bit difficult at times, but they will transport on golf carts if you want. We asked for transport up the hill since I had a bad knee. There were only a few guests there so it was easy to use. With more guests I would think there would be wait times. The food was delicious and the staff were all great and very accommodating. Be prepared to enter their boat to transport to the island by getting in the water during low tide. The pool was nice too especially since we basically felt like we had the place to ourselves. There were small things that could be improved: the screen door didn’t shut completely, there was no bottle opener for the mini bar, the safe didn’t work until we had to call someone to come up and unlock it, and the miscommunication on our tour date was inconvenient, but ended up working out in our favor since the owner of Curu bio reserve ended up giving us a tour and it was great. All in all it was a great experience.

There were issues from the beginning. I had a hard time connecting with them and not getting responses to all my questions. Our tour was booked incorrectly by them and we almost missed it, luckily one employee made sure we made it work! The room was missing obvious things like a bottle opener for the bottle in the fridge and the safe being locked and not working. It’s an amazing property but could have been better organized. Especially since it was low season and hardly anyone there, it was disappointing to deal with miscommunications and confusion. I would only recommend if you are incredibly flexible and open to last minute changes
