Awesome… A great welcome from the host and shown to the lodge which was wonderful. The secret garden is way up in the mountains overlooking Cartago and had it not been cloudy we would have seen a spectacular sun set, unfortunately we didn’t, but the cloud did ease off for a spectacular view of Cartago sparkling in the night far below our lodge. Some extras left in the lodge for those caught out, a couple of long hoodies and jackets for when it’s cold which was a wonderful touch. Breakfast was filling and more than enough which set us up for the day ahead. If you’re in the area and looking for somewhere to stay then this is the place, just a short drive from Irazu volcano too, which was why we stopped here, if visiting the volcano book your tickets online before arriving.
