Origins by Mantis

My husband, son and myself spent three days at Origins. It was a culinary experience and definitely very French! The food was amazing! The property is beautiful with many opportunities. The staff was so so kind and friendly, especially to our son. I got to take two private yoga classes in the most beautiful setting with a wonderful instructor (Coro). Our guides (Pablo, Eduardo and Steve) were very patient and knowledgeable. Sharon, Luis and Melany were amazing staff that were very accommodating. Urel and Fernando were excellent servers and the chefs were outstanding!

On our trip through Costa Rica we stayed in this hotel for four night. All food is included except specific drinks for lunch and dinner. We were pleasantly surprised with the food menus that are offered. Although you have to follow the money I can assure you we never caught of guard once. If you travel as extensively as we do you tend to overeat and come back home with more weight on you than KLM allows. The portions are great combined with an enormous choice of great wines and your dinner will be one to remember. I made a couple fo trips with the local guides to show me the wild life. They are ver well experienced and will get out of their way to show you the best spots.

We were really expecting an incredible experience here but were disappointed. There are some very nice touches like the outdoor fire heating the plunge pool and the magnificent views from the rooms towards Nicaragua. However the team there were a bit gruff and the food was very odd - spaghetti bolognese and minestrone soup… not the kind of food you expect to have in Costa Rica! Drinks were insanely expensive..Breakfast was great though. Bed and bedding in room could have been more comfortable. Night walk was super and we saw a lot of wonderful wildlife with our guide. We visited Cagne Negro which was incredible and walked to the Cielo Waterfall which is a must do. The sound of wildlife as you are sleeping and waking is magical. We had come in from Papagayo and there was a huge difference in climate which we had not appreciated. Bring hiking clothes and waterproofs!

Wir verbrachten mehrere Tage in dieser traumhaften Lodge. Vom Empfang bis zur Abreise blieb kein Wunsch offen. Die phänomenale Lage und Gestaltung, die Freundlichkeit des Personals, die angebotenen Aktivitäten- einfach alles überwältigend und perfekt.

Wir haben 2 fantastische und wirklich unvergessliche Tage in der Originslodge verbracht. Von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute war es einfach wundervoll und alles sehr liebevoll & individuell !!! Schon vor der Anreise wurde entsprechend unserer Wünsche ein individuelles Programm zusammengestellt. Auch für unsere Kinder gab es neben den zahlreichen Aktivitäten vor Ort weitere schöne Beschäftigungen im Hotel - besonders das Billard haben alle geliebt 😊 Die Zimmer sind wunderschön & stimmungsvoll, der individuelle Whirlpool am Zimmer sehr entspannend. Der große Pool mit seinem Ausblick ist einmalig und unvergesslich. Das Essen war fantastisch und individuelle Wünsche wurden immer berücksichtigt. Insgesamt nehmen wir viele unvergessliche Erinnerungen von diesen Tagen mit nach Hause!! Einziger „Kritikpunkt“: es befinden sich auch in den Zimmern viele (kleine) Insekten, morgens hat man trotz Mückenschutz viele Stiche!!
