OMGOSH, where do I start? This is my first international trip, I came alone. Upon arriving at the Hotel I was greeted by Syliva. The Hotel is spotless, food was fantastic, surroundings are peaceful and full of all sorts of different animals which you can see and hear day and night. You are close enough to walk to a couple mom and pop restaurants but please, call an Uber and go into Santa Ana, You will not be disappointed! I walked around the city alone and felt like I belonged. Please make note, use sunscreen while outside. I got a bad burn while laying out at the pool. Sylvia was so caring, she cut a large piece of Aloe from a tree for me. I wish I could rate the Hotel and staff morw than 5✨️, they are absolutely wonderful people.

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.
