Great property, you can tell it's very well ran. Staff where extremely friendly and personable and the food was great. The rooms were remarkably clean. They serve a nice dinner that although is not very fancy was very good for a very reasonable price. They have a bar right in the lobby and the drinks are reasonably priced. The breakfast the next morning was great. We were only there for one night so we didn't really get a chance to explore much of the trails around. It's right off the main road and easy to find even at night with gps.

Hay que tener mucho cuidado con la calle a la entrada del hotel, mucha piedra y una nos rajó la llanta. El servicio es excelente, a las instalaciones les falta algo de mantenimiento y cuidado a lis detalles. Mi cuarto tenía un microhondas, refri, lavadero,coffe maker y algunos utensilios básicos pero no hay toallas de papel o un limpión, tampoco una esponja o jabón de platos, la refri estaba apagada por lo que al regresar al cuarto teníamos un gran charco de agua del hielo que puse en el congelador. El entorno es muy lindo, jardines preciosos.

A great friendly welcome we stayed here as we had visited Irazú volcano and Turrialba volcano as well as Guayabo national monument. Making a trip from one to the next…. Do not try to drive to Turrialba if you don’t have 4x4, local people told me the road, which I drove almost to the end, was FATAL… anyway that’s just a tip if that’s your plan. The hotel, lodge was fantastic. Our room spacious, comfortable and all we needed for an overnight stay, and womdeviews of the mountains around and a view of Turrialba Volcano behind us. Evening dinner was tasty and plentifully enough and enjoyed by all. We made use of the bar before dinner and played cards in the lounge area in the lodge. Travelling around a country there’s never enough time spent in one place, this place I wished we had spent a couple more days in. Thank you ❤️

the location is remote. the grounds are well-maintained and full of flowers. The weather did not cooperate with us so there was no view of the volcano. We had dinner at the Lodge because we arrived late and did not want to go explore other options and the food was great. A great option to stay close to Turrialba. I would recommend it.

Do not try to drive to Turrialba if you don’t have 4x4, local people told me the road, which I drove almost to the end, was FATAL… anyway that’s just a tip if that’s your plan. The hotel, lodge was fantastic. Our room spacious, comfortable and all we needed for an overnight stay, and womdeviews of the mountains around and a view of Turrialba Volcano behind us. Evening dinner was tasty and plentifully enough and enjoyed by all. We made use of the bar before dinner and played cards in the lounge area in the lodge. Travelling around a country there’s never enough time spent in one place, this place I wished we had spent a couple more days in. Thank you ❤️

Great property, you can tell it's very well ran. Staff where extremely friendly and personable and the food was great. The rooms were remarkably clean. They serve a nice dinner that although is not very fancy was very good for a very reasonable price. They have a bar right in the lobby and the drinks are reasonably priced. The breakfast the next morning was great. We were only there for one night so we didn't really get a chance to explore much of the trails around. It's right off the main road and easy to find even at night with gps.

Beautiful property. Wonderful staff. Great view of Turrialba and the valley below. Lots of suggestions for activities. Grow and offer their own coffee, cheese, marmalade. Great breakfast. We’ll be back.

This property was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful but not overbearing. The rooms were comfortable and tastefully decorated. The gardens and trails were beautiful. Meals were delicious. I wish we had stayed longer!

No tenía la TV, habían 2 cucarachas en la habitación No servia la calefacción Afuera había un mal olor El desayuno muy básico y de regular sabor La habitación y el baño muy sencillo. La calidad del champú y el jabón muy mala y los dispensadores sucios Los paños viejos y de regular calidad Muy limitado Los alrededores muy lindos Buena naturaleza y muchos pájaros

the location is remote. the grounds are well-maintained and full of flowers. The weather did not cooperate with us so there was no view of the volcano. We had dinner at the Lodge because we arrived late and did not want to go explore other options and the food was great. A great option to stay close to Turrialba. I would recommend it.

beautiful area with a gorgeous view. I enjoyed the gardens and bird watching all around. The owner is very hospitable, as is the staff. We had dinner at the hotel one evening and the beef was outstanding.
