The Deluxe Boutique Lodge was perfect in so many ways. We booked this location to be close to Poas National Park and La Paz Waterfall Garden. It was 20 minutes to one and 10 to the other.
Walter met us at the property even though due to weather and construction we were about an hour late. He also became our lifesaver that day. Again, due to weather, a family member was delayed arriving into San Jose. Walter volunteered to drive down to San Jose and pick her up.
The property is located on the main road into the small village of Vara Blanca, walking distance to restaurants and shops.
The Lodge is super clean and very nicely decorated. The beds were very comfortable, the WIFI very good and the huge TV was a welcome diversion during the stormy weather.
We do not hesitate to recommend this property
Featuring a beautiful mountain setting just one mile from Poás Volcano National Park, Altura Hotel features rooms with views of Costa Rica’s Central Valley.

This place is like Alice in wonderland. We stayed in one of the "tents" but they were amazing domes with a window wall and soaking tub. Breakfast was terrific too.
Located in Fraijanes, 3.7 miles from Poas National Park, El Descanso Restaurante y Hotel provides accommodations with a terrace, free private parking and a restaurant.
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.

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.

The villas were adorable!
The villas were adorable! We loved our short stay but the wifi would not let us let our families know we had arrived safely. If you plan to leave early to travel more, the check out time is 9 am- not 7am! The staff member who spoke English was very kind and accommodating!
Great stop on our way from SJO to Arenal (only an hour from the airport - immediate transition into tranquility). The lodge was stunning with so many lovely sitting rooms and views. We were there with our parents and 1.5 year old son and there was a nice play area on the lower level (many stairs and delicate items for a 1.5 year old so little kids definitely require constant attention if you're up for it!). Breakfast and dinner were delicious. Only 15 minutes from La Paz so we got there early and beat the crowds.
We had our anniversary here and they made it amazing. They worked with me to arrange to have chocolate covered strawberries and meats and cheeses and an incredible fruit platter brought to the room as a surprise. The bathroom is one of the most unique bathrooms ever with a waterfall in the shower. The outside hot tub was a great way to start each day.
Loved this place and they were so friendly. Don’t miss the frog tour at night. It was a highlight.
Loved the views, as it describes, it truly is panoramic! Very spectacular views all around the property. The host, Tomas was exceptional in all aspects; with such warmth, we truly felt at home. He went above and beyond in ensuring our stay was comfortable and even ensured our onwards journey is taken care of, in terms of providing key insights and tips of where to eat, etc for the best experience for our very first Costa Rica trip.
LOVED this place!!!! After finding out (by driving there) we could not hike to the Poas volcano (you need an online permit) we discovered Villa Calas had THEIR OWN hiking trails - so we did that instead! great little hikes right there! Staff was SUPER friendly, food - some of the best we have had and the cabin was so cute PLUS a fire place for the cool nights. Great location for the La Paz waterfalls and gardens
Such a gem of a place. Close to La Paz, to see the volcano colbera and also amazing spot to stop for great steakhouse dinner (watching hummingbirds)! Breakfast was so delicious. Staff was so nice - we ended up having a sick young kiddo, and they went above and beyond to take care of us and felt like part of the family. The grounds were fun to walk around, explore, see plants/animals/birds. Perfect spot!
This hotel is a heaven on earth. I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area. The rooms are spacious and quite. Breakfast was great but you should also try their dinner menu - everything we tried was delicious. There are many areas in the property where you can enjoy the views and nature. Try their own walking trails on the property!
Nice beautiful location near La paz garden.
Come with a friendly dog who went on trek with us! My kid said it was his best time in Costa Rica.
Easy to drive and park the car in beautiful house.
Very friendly host, who communicated on whatsapp on what to do. Eg breakfast tips etc
No mosquito due to high altitude!
It’s a beautiful place on the hill. It’s very close to La Paz garden. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast was tasty. The dining area was very nice. The cabinet was cute and cozy with privacy. And you can park your car in front of the cabin.
The facilities are beyond exceptional and truly exemplify pura vida. They made a beautiful nature trail to a river and waterfall that we’re fun to get into. The family that owns and runs the hotel are all really warm, helpful and inviting.
Great location, hotel is clean and comfortable and staff really nice.
We did a couple massage and it was really relaxing.
We really appreciate the garden and parc around the hotel with animals, you can have a little walk in the forest.
This hotel is amazingly situated with a fantastic view over the forest. The waterfalls are very nice and there is a small zoo as well which is pretty cool -.especially for the kids.
The bathtub on the balcony is great.
Location (30 min to Poas Volcano by car)
Beautiful garden with amazing facilities such as Minigolf, Volleyball and a Colibri Garden)

Rooms (cleanliness and size)
Insane value for money
I feel very torn about this place. The hotel itself was amazing. The room beautiful, views were stunning and staff really friendly. If I was writing a review on the hotel only, i would be raving about it
