This was a beautiful property with hiking trails on-site. The restaurant was excellent with fair prices. Breakfast included was top notch. The cabin was cozy and had a fireplace stocked with wood and a fire starter kit. The only issue we had was the bed was extremely firm.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Nice view, nice food, nice staff, comfortable. I would suggest removing ashes from the fireplace so that it would smell better in the room. Overall a really nice place to stay pretty close to both Poas volcano and La Paz waterfalls which is great because to see the volcano, you must be there before the clouds, so as early as possible.

This place is incredible. The property grounds are beautiful and they have a great walking trail. The cabins are so cute and cozy. Especially with being able to make a fire in the fireplace with plenty of access to more wood. The food was beyond expectations. Every dish was so amazing, especially the homemade bread. Even the drive up to the property was gorgeous. I can’t recommend this place enough.

It’s lovely! The staff are so kind, friendly and helpful. The food is great in the restaurant. The rooms are lovey and clean and cosy. The resident peacocks are a bonus as one did his display for us shaking his tail and looking glorious! The hummingbird feeders outside the cabins is a nice touch. Thank you.

Excellent view of palm trees and mountains from our junior suite. We got by with one heater provided but I recommend asking for a second one. Relying on the fireplace was hit and miss.
