Couldn’t ask for a better find. We wanted a relaxing lodge with beautiful scenery. The family suite was perfect! Wish we could have stayed longer. The grounds were beautiful and the food was delicious.

Enjoyed our stay. Lovely property and rooms. We stayed in the Jacamar room which was very homely with an additional sitting area and fireplace and small enclosed garden which was constantly visited by hummingbirds. Although the property has its own restaurant it is in close proximity to other eateries. It is also in a good lication for visiting the volcano and La Paz Waterfall and Gardens.

Very clean, gorgeous landscape, quiet, comfortable, friendly and helpful staff. We had breakfast (included) and a beautiful, candlelit dinner at the hotel. Food is delicious, super fresh with many products (butter, granola, strawberry jam, cheese) made on the property. Convenient to Poas Volcano and La Paz Waterfall Park. Highly recommend.

It was a beautiful cozy, elegant country lodge with modern facilities, great food really nice people. Just make sure you bring rain coat and rain boots, and sweatshirts. We had driver Wilberth he was amazing and staff very friendly and professional
3-night trip

8/10

Fantastic location with stunning views. The public areas are lovely, beautifully designed and immaculately clean. The restaurant was surprisingly upmarket, considering it's location half way up a mountain, and the food was tasty and well prepared. The garden rooms were understandably basic, but again well equipped and perfectly clean, although probably overdue an update to the bathrooms. The only real spoiler was the apparent lack of any soundproofing between the garden rooms, which allowed us to hear almost everything that was said and done in the rooms nextdoor. Notwithstanding this, it was a lovely spot to stay for a night and as a launchpad from which to visit both La Paz Waterfall Gardens and the Poas Volcano.

Excellent hotel. And I gave 5 stars on every category except overall rating. The sole problem was that this hotel is at very high elevation - its cold at night and sole heat was a space heater - we did not sleep well and of course a good night’s sleep is important during a vacation.
