Absolutely stunning building on a beautiful property. The hosts were all very friendly, kind, and helpful, not to mention speak several languages fluently. Suzanna is also available as a tour guide if needed so be sure to ask! We absolutely loved our 16 day stay here and recommend it to everyone that we know!

Amazing place run by amazing people.

I can’t express enough how much I enjoyed my stay here. Besides the hotel being absolutely beautiful, I was blown away by how incredibly welcoming and accommodating the staff were. Breakfast was amazing every day, and they offered to cook me dinner every night as well. I could go on and on about it, but I will just say that you should absolutely stay here if you go to CR! The only thing I could see as an issue for some people is that the rooms are not air conditioned, so just be aware of that ahead of time.

This was our first trip to CR the lodge itself is secluded & quite with a great view of the mountains surrounding the area. I loved the breeze coming through the windows. The pool view was beautiful. They offered laundry service onsite and had it back in our room the next day. Breakfast is offered 7-10am with a variety of fresh fruits, crepes and lots of other options. Keep in mind this lodge does not have AC I did not mind at all the room stayed pretty cool & the fan provided enough airflow. I would recommend this place if you’re wanting to stay near the airport SJO it wasn’t too far about 25 minutes. From La Fortuna it is a 3:30 hour drive. To Jaco it’s about 2:30 hour drive. Downtown San Jose had great dining options. Monteverde is also 3:30 hour drive. We visited all these places within our 5 night stay.

Beautiful oasis in the city. The rooms are spacious, beds comfortable and it has a lovely open air terrace where you can enjoy your breakfast in the shade. From the 2nd floor there is a stunning view of San Jose. The excellent pool is a very attractive focal point for the outdoor area and it has lounges where you can stretch out in the sun. It is a 20-30 minute drive from the airport but it was not a problem to arrange transportation. The owner was wonderful - can’t thank her enough for her hospitality and help!

Love the design of this beautiful hotel. It is located on a hilltop and has a grand view of San Jose. Rooms are spacious and bed and pillow comfortable. It is a real treat to breakfast just outside our main floor room near the gorgeous pool while enjoying the view of the lovely grounds. The owner is so wonderful - we especially appreciated the help she provided to us in getting back a phone we had dropped in our taxi from the airport!! It is a 20-30 minute drive from the airport but well worth it to arrive at this oasis. The taxi from the airport was easy to arrange and the rental car company brought our car to the hotel.
