Rachel MeganCHThe staff were friendly and helped us organise a taxi driver as well as a tour to Finca Sura. The room was very spacious, the property itself is very nice with forest all around, and the food at the in-house restaurant…
EdNLGoede uitvalsplek voor natuur om je heen
Prima locatie, als uitvalsbasis.
Allemaal een beetje oud, slecht onderhouden en massa buffet, ook nog eens heel minimaal.
Mariek1309NLGreat garden, good pools. Fun to have the opportunity to do your own wildlife walk in the garden. At the reception they are of great help in organising activities.
To our taste just a bit too big hotel but for the rest…

What we’d check for you here

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Ara Ambigua Lodge
What time is check-in and check-out at Ara Ambigua Lodge?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Ara Ambigua Lodge allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Ara Ambigua Lodge?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Ara Ambigua Lodge have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Ara Ambigua Lodge?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Ara Ambigua Lodge have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Ara Ambigua Lodge?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Ara Ambigua Lodge have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Ara Ambigua Lodge?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
