I loved the fact that’s it’s a resort but it’s in the nature and not crowded, like a boutique resort. Wonderful room, amazing view, nice environment and atmosphere. Good breakfast with a view. You can hike to waterfalls from the hotel, inside the resort ! And there is a little farm with animals, my child loved it. Not far away from the airport so that’s very convenient when we arrive/depart from San Jose and there are plenty of things to do around, including visiting the volcan Poas.

Really a boutique hotel, very nice athmosphere, clean and cozy, staff is very nice. I would recommend to stay if you visit San José. We missed the breakfast because of the early flight, but I am sure it would have been amazing, too.

The ambiance was peaceful. There was no pressure of any kind. The communal spaces were peaceful and comfortable. The staff was truly amazing. Although we were not able to see Poas Volcano as the park was closed, spending a little more time at the lodge was an unexpected gift.
