Reviews for El Silencio Lodge & Spa
Love, Love, Love
I went on a solo trip to El Silencio Lodge & Spa in April 2025. My intent was to travel somewhere beautiful, where I could connect with nature, focus on wellness, and get some much-needed rest. I couldn't have had a better experience. The area is remote and quiet, the lodgings were impeccable, the staff was very eager to please, the foods was fantastic, and all of my wellness experiences were meaningful. This place is a hidden gem and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The fact that it is not a high-traffic resort adds much to it's character; you really can relax and recharge there. Karen, my wellness coach, felt like a friend by the end of my week-long stay. She helped me design my experience, led the majority of my wellness experiences, and offered personal touches that made me feel very welcome and special. I felt like I was the only guest there. Must go.

Spa experience and massage was perfection.
Gabriella was a 10/10. Mud scrub was exquisite. Her technique was something great and unique. When one travels to a destination spa, you're usually looking for something out of the ordinary or specialty. Gabriella had that without a doubt. With hundreds of spa massages in my lifetime El Silencio Spa and Gabriella was so relaxing after a long hike at the Del Toro Falls and the falls within the lodge.

Relaxing and enjoyable experience
I recently visited El Silencio during a vacation to Costa Rica and had an amazing experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. We did two waterfall excursions as well as a horseback riding excursion, and each one was a highlight of the trip. The guides were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and made every activity enjoyable. Overall, El Silencio delivered a fantastic stay from start to finish. Highly recommend!

A wonderful place to relax! There is good food, great massages and beautiful scenery. Every effort is given to make you comfortable and your stay memorable. We loved the activities, the accommodations and the people. It was a true delight from the beginning to the end. And extra special to be a green traveler and not leave a carbon footprint while vacationing. We can't wait to go back and leave the stress of life behind.
