Everything! The location is beautiful, the grounds kept perfectly, the rooms are incredible, the food and drinks excellent and the service was incomparable. The rainforest trails are wonderful and the conservation efforts (at first we were concerned ir was a zoo but all the animals have been rescued) are inspirational. It was ridiculously expensive but worth every penny.

Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns.
Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns. Different landscape with the farms and greenhouses and coffee plantations in rolling hills. Waterfalls. Loved the drifting clouds coming up the valleys in the evening. Cool evenings and warm days.

We went to La Paz Waterfall gardens and it was an amazing place. You could easily spend an entire day there. Also the area is known for strawberries. We bought some from a roadside stand and they were delicious.Alice - 10Scored 10

This was a great stopping place for us and is close to La Paz, Poas Volcano, and Doka Coffee Plantation. We stayed here after visiting La Paz Waterfall Gardens (which is worth the cost to visit), and then just had a short drive to Poas the following morning. We only stayed one night, and didn't get to visit the town, but its location is perfect for a stopover while visiting the nearby sites.JenniferUnited States

- 8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 383 reviewsVery pleasant highland area stay base with short distances with private car to Poas volcano and La Paz waterfall area. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, some king of personal touch brought to mind old-style country villas in Eastern or Southern Africa - very easy to feel home. Very good birding opportunities on the hotel ground, around the hotel and on the trails. We were sad to leave the place after two nights - it would have been so nice to stay longer.Jukka HarjulaFinland
- From RSD 92,673.41 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 308 reviewsProbably top 5 hotels in my personal list. Excellent indoor and balcony jacuzzi, properly heated pool, very private territory and special wooden bracelets and the guest name by the door to emphasise the level👌. The reception guys we very helpful and helped us to purchase Poas Volcano tickets as well as getting some cash. They even got a cake with the candles for the birthday. The waterfalls garden is just no words. Fantastic trail with a shuttle back.

- From RSD 92,673.41 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 308 reviewsthe staff here couldn’t be nicer. the trails are beautiful. I was under the impression that it was an animal refuge but it’s more of a rescue and the animals are caged. they are healthy and the habitats are nice, but it’s still sad to see with all the free and beautiful space they have on the grounds. we stayed here because the admission to the park was included and the waterfall gardens were beautiful.JillianUnited States
