Beautiful accommodations - up to date, spacious room, large bathroom. The grounds were very attractive and well kept. Dining was very good which is nice since the lodge is a bit out of the way from other options. Good location - not too far from San Jose and close to the Poas Volcano National Park and not far from the La Paz Waterfalls.

Wow!!! This hotel is more than what we all had expected! It’s clean! I got a garden view room with my 2 boys. It was the cutest room! It was so clean and everything you need is in the room. We went on a little hike with my 2 boys while we were there. They have umbrella available. They have boots available for me AND my boys. They were at the beautiful green house. I cannot recommend more about this hotel! We would def return!
