We got room 6 which has the Wood burning fireplace and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Breakfast was good at the lodge but would not recommend lunch or dinner. There are plenty of local authentic restaurants at short walking distance that would be better choice. The area around the lodge is very peaceful scenic and serene. We enjoyed our stay

Enjoyed our stay. Lovely property and rooms. We stayed in the Jacamar room which was very homely with an additional sitting area and fireplace and small enclosed garden which was constantly visited by hummingbirds. Although the property has its own restaurant it is in close proximity to other eateries. It is also in a good lication for visiting the volcano and La Paz Waterfall and Gardens.

An Unforgettable Stay at Poás Volcano Lodge Our experience at Poás Volcano Lodge was nothing short of spectacular. Nestled in the heart of breathtaking natural beauty, this lodge offers a tranquil and charming retreat, perfect for those seeking serenity and stunning scenery. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the exceptional staff at both reception and the restaurant. Their genuine hospitality, professionalism, and attentiveness made our stay even more memorable. Every interaction felt personal, adding to the overall warmth of the lodge. The lodge itself is a perfect blend of comfort and nature, offering panoramic views that are simply mesmerizing. Waking up to the misty landscapes and lush greenery was an unforgettable experience. We truly cannot wait to return and highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a peaceful escape. Whether for relaxation, adventure, or simply soaking in the stunning surroundings, Poás Volcano Lodge is an absolute must-visit. A wonderful stay in every way!

Fantastic location with stunning views. The public areas are lovely, beautifully designed and immaculately clean. The restaurant was surprisingly upmarket, considering it's location half way up a mountain, and the food was tasty and well prepared. The garden rooms were understandably basic, but again well equipped and perfectly clean, although probably overdue an update to the bathrooms. The only real spoiler was the apparent lack of any soundproofing between the garden rooms, which allowed us to hear almost everything that was said and done in the rooms nextdoor. Notwithstanding this, it was a lovely spot to stay for a night and as a launchpad from which to visit both La Paz Waterfall Gardens and the Poas Volcano.

Very clean, gorgeous landscape, quiet, comfortable, friendly and helpful staff. We had breakfast (included) and a beautiful, candlelit dinner at the hotel. Food is delicious, super fresh with many products (butter, granola, strawberry jam, cheese) made on the property. Convenient to Poas Volcano and La Paz Waterfall Park. Highly recommend.

Excellent hotel. And I gave 5 stars on every category except overall rating. The sole problem was that this hotel is at very high elevation - its cold at night and sole heat was a space heater - we did not sleep well and of course a good night’s sleep is important during a vacation.
