Reviews for El Silencio Lodge & Spa
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!

Best friends getaway - ultimate relaxation
Loved the tranquility of this resort. Very walkable and plenty of things to do. My friend and I only left one time to visit some waterfalls off site which was nice. Even though there was only one restaurant all the food was amazing and I wish we could have stayed longer so I could try everything on the menu! My friend and I walked every inch of the property including the hike up to the waterfalls, down to see the horses, we caught our own fish and the restaurant cooked it for dinner one night, we enjoyed 7:30am yoga every morning, we loved our conversations with the barista and all of his knowledge on coffee, the spa experience was so relaxing, we loved the jacuzzi at our casita, the nightly bedside treats were an unexpected surprise and very much appreciated and we were impressed that they were different each night! All in all this was such a great experience for my best friend and I to get away and relax. Would definitely want to go back to El Silencio with my family in the future!

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.
