Everything! The location is beautiful, the grounds kept perfectly, the rooms are incredible, the food and drinks excellent and the service was incomparable. The rainforest trails are wonderful and the conservation efforts (at first we were concerned ir was a zoo but all the animals have been rescued) are inspirational. It was ridiculously expensive but worth every penny.

The room was beautiful, with great viewpoints on the property. Breakfast was also really good. There's a really good Mexican restaurant up the street that kept us fed during the day and night.

Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns.
Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns. Different landscape with the farms and greenhouses and coffee plantations in rolling hills. Waterfalls. Loved the drifting clouds coming up the valleys in the evening. Cool evenings and warm days.

We went to La Paz Waterfall gardens and it was an amazing place. You could easily spend an entire day there. Also the area is known for strawberries. We bought some from a roadside stand and they were delicious.Alice - 10Scored 10

This was a great stopping place for us and is close to La Paz, Poas Volcano, and Doka Coffee Plantation. We stayed here after visiting La Paz Waterfall Gardens (which is worth the cost to visit), and then just had a short drive to Poas the following morning. We only stayed one night, and didn't get to visit the town, but its location is perfect for a stopover while visiting the nearby sites.JenniferUnited States

- 8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 619 reviewsBeautiful grounds to explore, comfy beds, large family room, great breakfast. Hands down the best stay we've had in Costa Rica! We were even greeted by a personalized message inside the room! It is obvious that this hotel goes the extra mile for its guests; we liked it more than our 4-star resorts in Manuel Antonio and Puntarenas. We will definitely be back, and we hope to catch the restaurant open (we stayed during a CR holiday). Very close to La Paz Waterfall Gardens and Poás Volcano.DMoore9United States
- 8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 384 reviewsVery pleasant highland area stay base with short distances with private car to Poas volcano and La Paz waterfall area. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, some king of personal touch brought to mind old-style country villas in Eastern or Southern Africa - very easy to feel home. Very good birding opportunities on the hotel ground, around the hotel and on the trails. We were sad to leave the place after two nights - it would have been so nice to stay longer.Jukka HarjulaFinland

They worked with me to arrange to have chocolate covered strawberries and meats and cheeses and an incredible fruit platter brought to the room as a surprise. The bathroom is one of the most unique bathrooms ever with a waterfall in the shower. The outside hot tub was a great way to start each day. Loved this place and they were so friendly. Don’t miss the frog tour at night. It was a highlight.SauerUnited States
- 8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 384 reviewsWe came to the lodge right from the airport (less than hour drive). The hotel is very nicely decorated with a homey feeling. The lounge is really nice and even has a small fireplace (it can get cold at night). The guy at reception was very nice and helpful and helped us with the national park reservation. There is also a beautiful trail in the hotel’s area - it is very recommended.ErezIsrael
