Our stay at Mikado was nothing short of phenomenal. The incredible Lolo and her wonderful team + family have truly built a slice of heaven on earth.
Our bungalow was cute, cool, comfy, spacious and privateânestled right in the woods. The Mikado grounds are beautiful and very specialâwith lots of stunning views, a refreshing infinity pool and shaded hot tub that are both open at night, two lovely trails to hike, and a warm dining area where each visitor is treated like the guest of honor. As if Lolo wasnât enough of an all-star for building and running this place in tip top shape, she also is an incredible chef who was able to serve us nonstop prix fixe deliciousness even while accommodating my significant dietary restrictions.
With the resort built atop a hilltop forest tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo, thereâs no better place for a nature lover than Mikado. We saw howler monkeys, tropical birds, iguanas, frogs, toads, lizardsâand that was all just from the luxurious comfort of the pool! And because itâs a small resort without too many guests at a time, the facilities all felt very private.
We cannot recommend this place more highly and honestly couldâve stayed MONTHS longer than we did. Donât miss the opportunity to treat yourself by staying somewhere so special.
