Stunning Views, Very Comfortable

A great friendly welcome we stayed here as we had visited Irazú volcano and Turrialba volcano as well as Guayabo national monument. Making a trip from one to the next…. Do not try to drive to Turrialba if you don’t have 4x4, local people told me the road, which I drove almost to the end, was FATAL… anyway that’s just a tip if that’s your plan. The hotel, lodge was fantastic. Our room spacious, comfortable and all we needed for an overnight stay, and womdeviews of the mountains around and a view of Turrialba Volcano behind us. Evening dinner was tasty and plentifully enough and enjoyed by all. We made use of the bar before dinner and played cards in the lounge area in the lodge. Travelling around a country there’s never enough time spent in one place, this place I wished we had spent a couple more days in. Thank you ❤️

Great place for a remote accommodation by Turrialb

the location is remote. the grounds are well-maintained and full of flowers. The weather did not cooperate with us so there was no view of the volcano. We had dinner at the Lodge because we arrived late and did not want to go explore other options and the food was great. A great option to stay close to Turrialba. I would recommend it.

Great property, you can tell it's very well ran. Staff where extremely friendly and personable and the food was great. The rooms were remarkably clean. They serve a nice dinner that although is not very fancy was very good for a very reasonable price. They have a bar right in the lobby and the drinks are reasonably priced. The breakfast the next morning was great. We were only there for one night so we didn't really get a chance to explore much of the trails around. It's right off the main road and easy to find even at night with gps.
