“Mother Daughter Adventure Trip”

Wow! Just WOW! This place is so amazing it's difficult to put into words. The lodge is a Frank Lloyd Wright design and it is truly spectacular.

Wow! Just WOW! This place is so amazing it's difficult to put into words. The lodge is a Frank Lloyd Wright design and it is truly spectacular. Cozy fireplaces tucked away in every corner which comes in handy for the cool evenings at this elevation. The lodge has great views of Poas volcano. There are walking trails all around the property with lots of opportunities for birdwatching. Staff were all great but a special shout-out to Javier! We will definitely be back!

My husband and I booked an impulsive last minute stay here when we needed to overnight while in the San Jose area. We knew we didn't want to stay in San Jose and after a little searching this beautiful mountain area sounded right up our alley. We were so glad we chose this place! The lodge is really stunning and has Welsh influences as well as Frank Lloyd Wright influences in the design. A bit of modern meets old school and it really creates a cozy and welcoming environment. Our room had a fireplace and a private garden area that was so lovely (and it gets chilly at night in this region so we definitely enjoyed using the fireplace! Though there was a heater available for use as well). It was a really cozy and inviting space. The bed was extremely comfortable and the linens, too. My husband particularly loved the spacious bathroom with the incredible rain shower. We enjoyed dinner as well as breakfast in the dining room and both were outstanding. The steak was like butter! And it would be a shame to miss out on their homemade granola and jam. We arrived at night so we discovered the grounds are utterly beautiful on the morning of our stay. Definitely make time to hike one of the trails (they have maps in each room) and visit the pretty little greenhouse on the property. We were gasping over the beauty of the farmland where this hotel sits and hopeful that we'll return for another stay in the future. Truly a beautiful and comfortable stay.

“Charming cottage in the middle of a farm”

A peaceful getaway in the countryside a few minutes away from Poas Volcano. Charming hotel with a definitive British touch, especially in the furniture. Charming amenities (game room with pool) reading by the fire with a view on the volcano. Charming trails on the property with boots available. The lack of tv and limited wifi allows for reconnecting and a longed for peace. There also is a room to watch old dvds. The hotel was nicely rebuild following a earthquake back in 2009. Service is good with nice restaurant for diner and breakfast. It would have been perfect - we felt amazing there - if our suite offered blinds that really covered the sun that sets at 5:30 offering for longer nights of restful sleep.

“Appearances can be deceiving”

The main attraction of this hotel is its close proximity to the Poas Volcano .This hotel looks amazing in all the glossy photos but in some respects not very practical; the highly polished wooden floors are slippery as are the glossy bathroom tiles with the bath mats laid out.We were drawn to the gorgeous big fireplace but the room was chilly when the fire went out. The biggest downside was the poor service.We were barely greeted on arrival, but I wasn’t too concerned about that,however dinner was a very poor experience.There were only 3 occupied tables and it took over an hour for my starter of a strawberry salad to arrive followed by a very dry piece of fish.The passion fruit dessert was good though.Breakfast was another disappointment.Table service and meagre portions,truly terrible pancake and bacon .The trails in the grounds were beautiful especially large banks of black eyed suzies which were stunning.The lodge emphasises the loan of wellies from its greenhouse for the muddy trails however I wouldn’t recommend these.My husband borrowed a pair and slipped and landed on his back .I believe this wouldn’t have happened if he had been wearing his own walking boots.This was our first hotel in Costa Rica so we didn’t really know what to expect.Thankfully our later experiences were much better.
