Our stay at Poas Volcano Lodge was absolutely magical! If you are looking for peace, harmony, and a true connection with nature, this is the perfect place. The architectural and design choices are incredibly stylish and tasteful, yet the lodge feels completely cozy and like a home away from home. The interior design strikes a perfect balance between eco-friendly aesthetics and European comfort. Our room was comfortable with a breathtaking view. The heated blankets were an absolute lifesaver and a brilliant touch for the chilly mountain nights! The breakfasts were delicious, and the common areas had such a warm, inviting atmosphere in the evening. I highly recommend this lodge to anyone who cherishes tranquility, comfort, and quiet beauty. A perfect 10/10!

I loved this place. Definitely an authentic, beautiful, relaxing place to stay. The beds and linens are the comfiest I have ever had at a hotel, and I had an excellent night sleep both nights. The architecture and design of the building is just stunning. We have a large room with three beds and it was perfect for our family. Very close to Poas Volcano, La Paz Waterfall Gardens and Starbucks Farm. The breakfast that is included in the stay is superb. We also had dinner and it was quite nice as well. I would happily stay here again.

Amazing, amazing, can't say enough good things about this property! Jesus and Catalina gave us the best service and worked very hard attending to guests. The grounds were lush and tropical, fabulous views and amazing trails. The breakfast was wonderful with great views of the garden. Many different areas to hang out inside and out. The rooms were big and cozy. My favorite part was the shower with glass looking out into garden area. I saw a hummingbird right outside the window while taking a shower.........so cool! They had a peacock on site, another added bonus. I can't say enough great things about this place. I can't wait to go back to this property and spend more time in the area!
