Hotel Cerro Lodge

I loved our stay. The only reason we gave the resort four stars instead of five is because the room simple but clean. The hotel is rustic, but if you want to see wildlife, there is nothing better. Troops of Howler monkeys fill the trees above. Birds are continually chattering and screeching to one another. Just sitting at the restaurant, you will see more animals than walking for hours at the national park The food at the restaurant was excellent. I particularly enjoyed their award-winning pizza. I would definitely go back again. Great value for the experience.

Spacious and clean room, shower hot water worked a bit awkward. Great to have air conditioner. Restaurant has good food but a bot on the pricy side.

Second visit to Hotel Cerro Lodge and it was as magical as the first visit. If you love nature and birds and don't mind a bit of rustic, this is the place for you. The huge, covered patio overlooking the forest is so comfortable. I've done my work job from that patio both visits and just relaxed with my camera at the ready, waiting for the birds, or iguanas, or monkeys, or any number of other creatures to appear. Huge shout out to Jessica, Jeremy, and Erica who served us well at reception and during breakfast and dinner. Speaking of breakfast/dinner, wow do they have a couple of talented chefs in their kitchen. Highly recommend the Ragu pasta in meat sauce. Favorite dish of the trip and it is served in a freshly baked, warm, and yummy bread bowl. Very easy to access from San Jose and lots to do in the area.

The staff was great.

Comfortable and clean. The view was great and we enjoyed seeing all the birds and animals.
