This was an amazingly beautiful hotel. We had the 2 bedroom villa which was newly remodeled with a full kitchen and gorgeous finishes. We saw a ton of wildlife right thru the huge windows in the living room and bedrooms. I will 1000% Stay here again when we come back. The check in was super quick and friendly and we came during afternoon coffee and it was delicious too! Can’t recommend this place enough!

Whilst our actual room was rather basic, the overall setting of the lodge was stunning. Amazing scenery and access to view the wildlife.

Our stay at Cala Lodge was an absolute delight! What a very special place Francisco and family have created! We loved staying in the Mathilda House. It was perfect for our family of 5, ages 14-82, nestled in the cloud forest with floor to ceiling windows. It was incredible to see wildlife pass by, we felt lucky to be guests in their well-loved and protected forest. We had dreams and conversations with the howler monkeys throughout the night, and agoutis, coatis and diverse birds were easily seen from the living area and rooms. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Our home was clean, spacious, beautifully contemporary, and well-provisioned, and we received quick support when we had needs or questions. Breakfast was delicious and enjoyed with stunning view over the mountains. We loved exploring the trails and talking with other happy travelers. I will recommend Cala Lodge to family and friends and am grateful for the time that we enjoyed there!

Very disappointed with how this was handled. During my stay, I raised concerns directly with reception regarding the condition of the room. While housekeeping responded, the actions taken did not fully resolve the issue or restore the quality of stay that was expected. After returning, I submitted a refund request based on the impact the issue had on my experience. The hotel denied the request, stating the matter had been resolved and that complaints made after departure would not be accepted, despite the concern being reported during the stay. What was most frustrating was not just the issue itself, but the lack of accountability and willingness to provide a fair resolution afterward. I hope management reviews how guest concerns are evaluated and focuses more on guest experience rather than simply whether a response was recorded. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not stay here again.
