Everything was spot on.

Located in a remote area of Costa Rica, this husband and wife owned farm offers an authentic experience. With activities for all ages, from exploring the nearby river to taking in the stunning vista views, there is something for everyone. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with well-maintained bathrooms. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing excellent service. The delicious buffet-style breakfast includes local specialties like fresh eggs and homemade bread. The lodge's beautiful garden attracts a variety of birds, making it a peaceful and serene retreat.

Limited transportation options in the area.

Spectacular views, delicious food, comfortable beds, and friendly staff. Gorgeous sunrise every morning.

This hidden gem was perfect for a quick business trip. The location was captivating; surrounded by farms overlooking a breathtaking valley. The hotel staff provided us with great directions and recommendations for nearby activities. We enjoyed a 2-hour cheese-making tour at a nearby artisanal farm, and stocked up on delicious ultra-fresh cheese. The hotel's 3km trails and garden walk were a peaceful way to start our mornings. The cozy communal fireplace added to the overall atmosphere.

Although the hotel offered delicious dinners, the menu was very limited, and an hour advance order required. The mildewed bathroom floors were a bit off-putting, and the unheated rooms were quite cold.

I was thrilled to stay at Guayabo Lodge during my recent trip to Santa Cruz. The lodge's location amidst the lush mountains provided a serene and beautiful atmosphere. The Mountain Suite that I stayed in had breathtaking views of the Turrialba valley and was equipped with a comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom. The gardens surrounding the lodge were filled with a variety of vibrant birds and butterflies, creating a truly enchanting experience. I also had the opportunity to visit nearby attractions such as Guayabo National Monument and Irazu Volcano, which were easily accessible from the lodge. The owners, Rosanna and Pedro, were extremely accommodating and provided us with excellent tips and suggestions for exploring the area. Additionally, the lodge offered meals delivered to our room, which were not only delicious but also reasonably priced. Despite the spotty WiFi, which may have been due to the rain, the overall experience at Guayabo Lodge was exceptional. I highly recommend this lodge to anyone seeking a serene and comfortable retreat in Santa Cruz. I had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this hotel.

I recently had a great stay at a hotel tucked away in the lush mountains of Costa Rica. The location was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views overlooking the city below. I loved the fact that the hotel had its own private patio, allowing me to relax and take in the amazing scenery. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with wonderful showers that helped me unwind after a long day of exploring. I also appreciated the small balcony, where I could sip my morning coffee and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

My experience at this hotel was excellent - all was ok.

We had an amazing stay at a lodge nestled on a mountainside with misty and picturesque views. The cozy rooms offered attractive views of the surrounding countryside. The staff, especially Olman and Henrietta, were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They even packed us a delicious to-go breakfast when we had to leave early. The food at the lodge was the best we had on our entire trip, and we enjoyed both breakfast and dinner. The beautiful grounds attracted a variety of birds, adding to the charm of the location. Comfortable beds with soft sheets made our stay even more enjoyable. We also loved the rafting trip they arranged for us. A truly perfect experience from start to finish.
