Tiskita is one of the most amazing places we have ever stayed! We loved our private little "Casita" in the jungle overlooking the ocean. Our favorite place was sitting on the covered front porch watching monkeys, macaws & toucans in the trees as we listened to the ocean waves crashing below. The food is delicious; locally sourced primarily from their own gardens. Much thought has gone into the creation and maintenance of their many well marked jungle trails. The ocean is just a short walk away, and it wasn't unusual to find ourselves with the beach all to ourselves!!! We enjoyed a wonderful horseback ride lead by Pablo on the beach & through the jungle. We went birdwatching & took a night walk with Naturalist Rosio. The little pool by the main lodge was a perfect place for a quick dip and/or use WiFi (which is intentionally NOT available in the Casitas, along with no TV). I can't say enough good things about the people who work at Tiskita. They really went above and beyond - especially Rosio! Tiskita is family owned (multi-generational) and they clearly love the lodge and land. We are so very fortunate that they decided to share their jungle home with the rest of us. It was an unforgettable experience!

I do not have enough good things to say about this incredible place. I spent 3 weeks here for my yoga teacher training and never wanted to leave! So many beautiful animals all around, not to mention the waterfalls, water pools, and very remote beach nearby. I also want to mention that the food was absolutely phenomenal. I know previous reviews talked about the food not being the best, but the staff has worked incredibly hard learning new recipes and it was some of the best vegan/vegetarian food I have ever had. These three weeks were some of the best of my life and I cannot recommend coming here and supporting the conservation efforts of this family enough.

“Must go - guided walk w/ Rocio!”

We booked a guided nature walk with Rocio - I cannot express enough how incredible it was! Rocio has a deep knowledge and passion for what she does and it was a joy to walk through this paradise with her. Thank you!!

We spent 2 nights at Tiskita and we really loved being surrounded by all of the jungle. It was an amazing setting with abundant wildlife. We saw so much wildlife, and even more on our rainforest guided walk with the lovely Rosa (squirrel monkeys, lizards, white face monkeys, vultures, agoutis, acoutis, butterflies and so much more). The description Rosa gave helped us to understand the environment so much better than had we have just wandered off on our own. She told us about their life cycles and their development, their biology and their habitat in such a great way. It would have been nice to have been informed about all of the hotels activities on check-in so we could have organised our time a bit better. We weren’t aware there was a night walk we could attend until about 5 minutes before it was going to start, at which point it was 8pm and we had already changed, but if we were told in advance, we would have prepared ourselves to be ready for it. We also didn’t realise that the food was a set menu - with set dining times. It would have been good to know this before too, as one member of our party missed several meals due to surfing for most of the day, so we would have preferred to just choose some light snacks throughout the day instead. All of the staff were really friendly and clearly eager to please. Tiskita lodge was a lovely stay, but not quite the luxury we had anticipated; perhaps through our own fault or perhaps through some marketing that makes it appear more luxurious than it is - don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful, but you’re paying for the setting and Rosas expertise more than anything else.
