It is a rocky road for a few miles to get there, and limited dining/food options once you're there, (so take the prepaid option), but you are in nature, with birds and monkeys. My wife is a birder and absolutely loved it. Be sure to confirm whether your bathroom is inside or outside.

The property and surrounding area was beautiful with a lot of birds. The staff was great. The food was really good even the pizza! My only complaint is the the walls were very thin and we could hear practically every word our neighbors said.

The grounds were spectacular, with birds and monkeys right at the restaurant in the morning. Having said that, there were bugs all over the hotel room floor, termite dust all over the beds, no bedcovers (only sheets), three towels for four people, a big spider in the open air bathroom, a toilet that did not flush, a shower curtain coming off the hooks, and dirt all over the shower.

Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Cerró Lodge. The staff were amazing and made sure that we enjoyed our time. They booked us on a bird and crocodile tour on the Rio Tárcoles that I would certainly recommend. The pizza we had for dinner was delicious. Rooms very clean and comfortable. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful. I look forward to visiting again!

An unexpected gem well off the beaten path. We booked this the day of arrival. The road to the hotel is a gravel rough road but the premises were absolutely great! The food was delicious. We ate both dinner and breakfast there and both were fantastic. The wildlife in the morning was the cherry on top! Be aware, the bathroom facilities is outdoors (covered but no wall closing the bathroom in). It was definitely an experience! We had the deluxe suite.

Road to get there was very hard to drive on and full of rocks and potholes. Bathroom was a separate room that was outdoors, covered by a wall of thin tarp and trees. It was a cool concept but I feel like people can hear you use the bathroom and flush the toilet. Also there was wildlife and bugs since it was outdoors. Restaurant was pretty good and staff was nice!

At check in, they took a photo of everyone's passport, which seems sketchy. Even children under 18. With a cell phone. I understand they need to write down the passport number of everyone, but taking a photo was weird. We found a scorpion in the bathroom, so be careful. Beautiful grounds and animals around.
