We only stayed one night. Check-in was simple and easy, The staff were all very friendly. The property is gorgeous and unique. Weather was really rainy and wet, so we didn't get to explore too much around the outside of the property. Our room was exactly as described and quiet, however, the walls are somewhat thin and you can hear other guests but not in a horrible way. It's more like a comfortable home rather than a hotel. The dining room was lovely, dinner was nice and the included breakfast was delicious. Delicious! It's a really neat area and we left the next morning to go straight to the volcano so everything was convenient and scenic.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Poas Volcano Lodge. We went in the off season and there was only a few other guests on the property so we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The trails around the property are expansive and lots of fun to explore for a fun afternoon walk/hike. The food at the restaurant was nice and the service was good. Having a glass of scotch and some Costa Rican dark chocolate with a good book in front of the wood burning stove and listening to the rain patter on the tin roof before dinners was a treat as well. Location was convenient to some great local places to see and visit. Staff was so helpful to help us book our tickets to the Poas Volcano National Park. I'd go back for sure!

Very nice place. Check in and check out processes were super fast and easy. Staff are friendly. Food was good. The rooms are clean and spacious. Beds were great. Nice trials and nature around the property. View of the Poas Volacano was a plus. Suggestions: they should have whisky options, soda water in reusable glass bottles would be great, and, perhaps not too related to the hotel, but the water management at the dairy farm could be improved.

The architecture was rustic mid-century modern and the grounds were absolutely beautiful. The firestoves in the side reading rooms made the atmosphere cozy while the large viewing windows gave us the feeling that we were sitting outside with the sweeping views. Fireflies at nite off the garden room was magical. Staff Andrew and Javier were wonderful. The lodge was super close to Poas Volcano NP and an easy drive early in the morning and the staff worked with us to get breakfast to us quickly that morning so we could make our 8am Poas reservation. Could improve: 1. We could not reach the lodge directly to ask questions and to make a reservation either through the website or through the phone number. We ended up going through Expedia. 2. The room (#4) was amazing but had a musty smell 3. The time from ordering dinner at the lodge to the time it was served was an hour. The food was really delicious (chicken with mushrooms and seabass with mango -- it was just a long wait. The lodge is unique and lovely and we highly recommend staying here.
