Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit Hotel Midey for optimal wildlife viewing and weather?

We find the dry season, typically December through April, offers the most pleasant weather for exploring the area around Hotel Midey. While the green season brings lush landscapes, the drier months provide clearer skies for boat trips to Reserva Biológica Isla Guayabo and better visibility for spotting marine birds and turtles.

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to encounter during our stay at Hotel Midey?

Given its proximity to Reserva Biológica Isla Guayabo, Hotel Midey is a fantastic base for marine birdwatching; we've seen frigatebirds, brown boobies, and pelicans in abundance. On the mainland surrounding the hotel, keep an eye out for howler monkeys and sloths in the trees, especially during early mornings or late afternoons.

Beyond relaxing at the hotel, what specific activities do you recommend from Hotel Midey?

We highly recommend a boat excursion to Reserva Biológica Isla Guayabo, which is the primary draw here for its incredible seabird colonies. Additionally, the hotel can arrange kayaking or paddleboarding in the calm waters nearby, offering a serene way to experience the coastal environment and spot local birdlife.

What is the overall ambiance and service like at Hotel Midey; does it feel luxurious or more rustic?

Hotel Midey strikes a wonderful balance; it feels luxurious and timeless without being overly formal, blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings. The service is genuinely warm and attentive, and we particularly love the open-air dining area where you can enjoy fresh seafood with fantastic ocean views.

How accessible is Hotel Midey, and what's the best way to get there from San José?

Reaching Hotel Midey requires a bit of travel, but it's well worth the journey. We recommend flying into Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) in Liberia, then taking a scenic two-hour drive, or a longer but equally beautiful drive from San José, which allows you to soak in more of Costa Rica's diverse landscapes.
