Koora was such a special place to stay. So many great things - the staff were so attentive and welcoming, the food was amazing and the wildlife we encountered just walking to and from our room featured armadillos, mischievous coatis, agutis and so much more. I’ve stayed at lots of places, this rates in the top 10 - so beautiful and tranquil - highly recommend.

We were a party of 4 and had an amazing time at Koora Hotel. It was in a great location for hiking, ziplining, horse-riding, night hike etc. The Natura sanctuary was amazing. Only comment was that the Aguti trail could be better signed posted. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. We were also able to order breakfast early at 6.15 am as we had an early hike start. We would highly recommend Koora Hotel.

Excellent location, friendly and professional staff, brand new everything. Wished our room was little closer to the parking lot, was a good 5 min walk with varying elevation, felt like a chore to do multiple times a day.
