Wonderful location, with views towards Poas Volcano. Tranquil and peaceful location with beautiful gardens, landscape. Friendly and helpful staff throughout. Good choice of breakfast was included in the room rate we had paid. We ate each night at the lodge and the food was delicious and such a lovely cosy restaurant. The lounge area was beautifully furnished and we loved the little log burners which warmed it. We would certainly stay here again.

I am travelling a lot, and I can say that this was the best I have been. The room," 2 floors shack" was beautiful and well maintained. the view from the terrace was extraordinary, the gardening and surroundings were amazing. The staff was very helpful, (they did with me the booking for the Poas Volcano). Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were excellent. Heating in the evening with wood pieces in the fire place was both romantic and practical experience.

Up in the mountains near San Jose, there is this lovely, beautiful accommodation. The place is beautiful, with beautiful gardens and an amazing view to the nearby valley and mountains. The quietness is pristine here. We stayed there in our last night in Costa Rica and our idea was to relax before our long flight home next day and it was a really good for this. We booked a room but the owners upgraded us to a very nice room with jacuzzi, sauna and a balcony with a beautiful view. Everything in this property is very well cared, clean and tidy. Upon reception we met our hostess Alejandra which is such a lovely person and she took care of us in any detail of our stay. As we didn’t have a car, she helped us to choose and order our dinner delivery to the accommodation and prepared our table in the dining room. The breakfast in the next day was simply amazing with local fruits and local produced yogurt with home-made granola – it was delicious – and fantastic home-made bread and the fried eggs were prepared spotless. Such a great breakfast. If you want quietness and a first-class service by Alejandra, you must come here.

The location is great for ventures to close-by attractions. The glamping tents are decorated lovely and well appointed. The host even provided us with an electric heater as she felt it might get too cold at night. The kitchenette offered more than we expected. The close by Alboral café & bistro was a great plus with nice views and outstanding food.

Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns.

Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns. Different landscape with the farms and greenhouses and coffee plantations in rolling hills. Waterfalls. Loved the drifting clouds coming up the valleys in the evening. Cool evenings and warm days.

We went to La Paz Waterfall gardens and it was an amazing place. You could easily spend an entire day there. Also the area is known for strawberries. We bought some from a roadside stand and they were delicious.

Good location, good food but restaurant very cold in November. Rooms and particular beds very comfortable and showers good and hot. Bedrooms bit too cold in November. We appreciated the walking trails and the loan of wellie boots by the hotel as trail was very muddy. Good location for boating volcano.
