We cannot recommend Gaia highly enough. The hotel was beautifully maintained, the staff was exceptional and we love the mission of supporting the macaws. The birds were breathtaking! We also had monkeys right outside our room on multiple occasions. Rooms were amazing and clean. We will definitely be back !

Nicholas, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s a nice property with a good rooftop bar and restaurant. The staff is super nice and friendly. My only gripe is that they try very hard to be upscale that at times becomes too much. For example, the check in process of choosing shampoos and getting the tour is a bit much. They also assign you a concierge that you can message for anything at anytime (or the concierge will message you to see if you need anything), which is nice but also seems like overkill. In general the hotel was great though. Would recommend it.
Laura, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We just left the hotel and we loved it. All the staff were great but extra thank you to Deiver, our concierge. He made everything very easy from reservations to the National park, shopping, dinning and transportation. We were very sad to leave and hope to be back soon.
Venessa Marie, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Outstanding place! Gaia is truly magical — beautifully designed, completely embedded in nature, and offering breathtaking views everywhere you look. What really makes the difference is the service — it’s on another level. José, Andrés, and the entire team go above and beyond to make you feel special from the moment you arrive. Every detail feels personalized, and their warmth makes the experience unforgettable. Perfect spot to unwind, reconnect with nature, and feel genuinely cared for.

From start to finish our expectations were exceeded! The staff was just amazing and the hotel is as well. We were pretty much the only guests there. We went to their restaurant for dinner and the sushi was some of the best I've ever had! Chicken curry was killer too
