Iyok Ami Bed & Breakfast Cartago

Review by hotel critic

Nestled in the heart of the stunning Costa Rican rainforest, Iyok Ami is a hidden gem that feels like a home away from home. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful atmosphere enveloped us, complemented by the warm welcome from Bedrich, the owner. The cozy wooden interiors, combined with the creaky floorboards and crackling fireplace, made evenings inviting. We savored the delicious homemade breakfast while gazing out at the amazing mountain views; the best pancakes I've had in ages! And can we talk about the trails? With over 5km of accessible paths right from the lodge, we felt like explorers, walking through a Jurassic wonderland—all while keeping an eye out for the vibrant Quetzals! It’s a great place for immersive experiences, especially if you’re traveling with friends or family who appreciate nature. A stay here is about more than just relaxation—it's an adventure filled with cultural richness from the local cuisine and the surrounding natural beauty. If you’re seeking an affordable and enchanting escape, I wholeheartedly recommend Iyok Ami!
