In a room with no air conditioning your first instinct will be to open the windows to allow a cool breeze in. That would be a mistake. The one thing I think they need here is screens on the window to allow you to do this. With out them opening the windows will allow the bugs in. Typically it is... More

Had the opportunity to spend a few days in the mountains while in Costa Rica and stayed at the Cloud Forest Lodge. It is a very peaceful and majestic place situated on a mountain with a great view of the surrounding landscapes which include a volcano. The food was delicious and the rooms and service were perfect. Great hiking trails... More

Stayed for 2 days in May. The proprty is beautiful and we saw plenty of birds. Rooms are huge and clean. Staff welcomed us by name when we arrived, and the amenities were perfect. Dinner was good and the bar was always available for us. We had a wonderful time in Santa Elena and this hotel helped make it special.

I loved it here we saw lots of hummingbirds, attempted the canopy tour but lightening stopped play. Breakfast was good, lunch and dinner weren't to our groups taste but the cocktails after our extreme Tarzan swing really hit the spot. The lady on reception who I forget her name was great she sorted everything for us. A taxi to town... More

There aren't a lot of "bells and whistles" here, but it's a great place to stay if you're focused on all the outdoor activities that are available in the area. My room had a king-size bed and two bunk beds---perfect for a family. The food in the restaurant was very good. Breakfast offered to choices: "Typical" (Costa Rican) and "American"... More

Great Hotel in a beautiful setting. There are some really nice trails and an amazing zip line canopy tour right on the property. Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve is only a few kilometers away. We were lucky enough to see Quetzals on our hike. Advice: Use a guide to help you spot some of the birds and other wildlife.

This was simply the best place we stayed in Costa Rica. I’m tempted to give this place a terrible review in the hope that it’ll be just as good the next time we visit & that too many people won’t know about it- but I can’t. This is simply the best place that we stayed on our two week trip... More

Stayed at this hotel for two nights only whilst on a family holiday in CR. Great for birdwatching and walking. Clean rooms and good restaurant. We, the grandparents, hired a very good birding guide and the young grandchildren went on a horseback trek. The hotel had its own trails and humming bird feeders. The restaurant was of a good standard... More

This hotel is in a stunning location. The rooms are single storey and in rows. They were clean but there was no TV nor fridge. There is free ice in a store near reception. On arrival we were given a map of the local walks and went on all of them. They are easy treks through woodland and, although we... More
