Das Vista Verde Lodge Hotel liegt an einem Hang mit Ausblick auf die Landschaft und den Arenal-Vulkan. Morgens kann man vom Zimmer aus den Sonnenaufgang beobachten, sehr schön. Die Zimmer sind geräumig, müssten aber mal modernisiert werden. Das Duschen war erfrischend, die Temperatur des "warmen" Wassers zwingt einen dazu, sehr schnell zu duschen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Küche sehr gut. Das größte Problem ist allerdings, zum Hotel zu kommen! Wir hatten einen normalen Mietwagen, unglücklicherweise wird hier bei der Hotelbeschreibung nicht darauf hingewiesen, dass man eigentlich nur mit einem Geländewagen zum Vista Verde Lodge kommt, denn die Straße zum sehr abgelegenen Hotel ist eigentlich nicht fahrzeugtauglich, höchstens für einen Traktor! Den Weg als Schotterpiste zu betiteln, ist noch geschmeichelt. Extreme Schlaglöcher, riesige Steine, man muss teilweise mit 5 km/h einen Slalom fahren und wird ordentlich durchgerüttelt. Also: wer sich für das Vista Verde Lodge entscheidet, UNBEDINGT einen Mietagen mit Allrad-Antrieb nehmen! Generell können wir das Hotel aber empfehlen, denn Lage und Ausblick entschädigen für die holprige Anfahrt. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1132-p503299d0-28e7-11e8-9b80-6a03179474b2-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1333-p272d3270-28e7-11e8-9b80-6a03179474b2-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s176-p157362c0-28e7-11e8-9b80-6a03179474b2-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Marcus Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing view!!

Its close to selvtura park and sky adventure, but a 20 min drive to downtown.

Thanks eulogy for looking after us. See you again soon Ted and Emma. ##### Edward Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 22 Mar 2017 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Perfect alternative to the usual Tourist Trail Rustic no-frills hotel with the best view in town (Well, out of town!) The staff are friendly and will cook a lovely meal for dinner if you want. It's a few kilometres from the main town and we found the road bumpy but easily accessible with a 2WD car. The location may be too remote for some, but that's what interested us in the first place! Being up in the mountains you will need a jacket to stay warm at night, but the beds are warm and comfortable. Conveniently located near to the Santa Elena Reserve and several zip lining companies, plus they also have their own jungle trails to explore. The WiFi is patchy, available only from the main dining room/reception area and requires some patience. Our bathroom was clean, and the water hot enough. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 6 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I loved the location! Rooms were clean, staff helpful. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 21 Feb 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### If you want it take it Its a very special youthhostal standard, with a marveles viewing at the Arenal ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 12 Feb 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very disappointed Where do I start. The room. If you show pictures of a nice bath tub, it would get nice if there was hot water to actually use it. No heat in the room. We literally had to stay in bed to stay warm. No place to sit and enjoy the view should you happen to see it so a small table and chairs would have been nice. No wifi in the room we were in. That was not a big deal but should be clear in the listing. In the main lodge, if you have a wood burning stove that is used for heat, use it. You should not be able to see your breath while seated at breakfast. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d179898-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Roc Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Eden-Roc-Miami-Beach.h15431.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Biggar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Biggar-Hotels.d182740.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Margam Country Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margam-Country-Park-Hotels.0-l624905990774693888-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Lloret de Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lloret-De-Mar-Hotels-Melia-Lloret-De-Mar.h973554.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [SENTIDIO Phenicia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hammamet-Hotels-SENTIDIO-Phenicia.h2602615.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Corcovado Jungle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Casa-Corcovado-Jungle-Lodge.h19460167.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Singapore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Singapore-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Singapore.h21677.Hotel-Information) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [Maya Ubud Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ubud-Hotels-Maya-Ubud-Resort-And-Spa.h979395.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Cloud Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Cloud-Forest-Lodge.h2050850.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > > [Poas Volcano Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vara-Blanca-Hotels-Poas-Volcano-Lodge.h5259118.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Melbourne (MEL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/mel/manchester-to-melbourne) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Boston (BOS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/bos/london-to-boston) > > [British Airways London (LHR) to Ladyville (BZE) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-heathrow-to-philip-s-w-goldson-intl/ba/lhr/bze) ### Activities > [Things to do in Yalikavak](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Yalikavak.d6054841.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Kenya Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenya.d92.Holidays-City-Breaks)
