Relaxing, quiet and beautiful views and the food was pricey but good.
Beautiful accommodations - up to date, spacious room, large bathroom. The grounds were very attractive and well kept. Dining was very good which is nice since the lodge is a bit out of the way from other options. Good location - not too far from San Jose and close to the Poas Volcano National Park and not far from the La Paz Waterfalls.
The dining experience was exceptional, with delicious food and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The hotel is beautifully nestled in nature, creating a serene and immersive escape. Every staff member was incredibly welcoming, greeting us with open arms and ensuring a memorable stay. Highly recommend!.
What a beautiful property!! Wow the views! and the hotel itself. Beautiful! Breakfast was absolutely amazing!! We ate dinner at the property while there. All our meals top rated!!!! I would highly recommend this hotel to stay!!!
Couldn’t ask for a better find. We wanted a relaxing lodge with beautiful scenery. The family suite was perfect! Wish we could have stayed longer. The grounds were beautiful and the food was delicious.
If you have the chance to stay in the Poas region this is an amazing hotel to spend a couple of nights at. A comforting blend of Welsh country farmhouse and Frank Lloyd Wright architecture this is a place of rest and relaxation nestled into its surroundings. Curl up with your favourite book in the glass walled library with a tiny woodburner giving a cosy warm glow, add a glass of red wine and you will feel like you are welcomed into an English country house or head down to the pool table and games room after dinner. Friendly welcoming staff, lovely dinners (very reasonable pricing) means that everything is provided on site. We were only there for 2 nights and didn;t get to try the walking trails. The only improvement we could suggest would be a fridge in the rooms.
Staff was great. Everything about the property was great. Only issue is that the rooms had issues with fire ants. We had moved rooms because our first room had them all over the floor coming up through the wood planks. They had us Move to a different room that seem to not have them but when we woke up in the morning, they were everywhere. We were originally booked for one night, but decided to leave for the second night since my partner is severely allergic to fire ants. Other than the issue with the fire ants it was a really gorgeous property with wonderful views!
We got room 6 which has the Wood burning fireplace and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Breakfast was good at the lodge but would not recommend lunch or dinner. There are plenty of local authentic restaurants at short walking distance that would be better choice. The area around the lodge is very peaceful scenic and serene. We enjoyed our stay

The property was very nice. The room was fine. Outdated furniture. Thin walls/doors so easy to hear people outside the room.
