Our stay at Poas Volcano Lodge was absolutely magical! If you are looking for peace, harmony, and a true connection with nature, this is the perfect place. The architectural and design choices are incredibly stylish and tasteful, yet the lodge feels completely cozy and like a home away from home. The interior design strikes a perfect balance between eco-friendly aesthetics and European comfort.
Our room was comfortable with a breathtaking view. The heated blankets were an absolute lifesaver and a brilliant touch for the chilly mountain nights! The breakfasts were delicious, and the common areas had such a warm, inviting atmosphere in the evening. I highly recommend this lodge to anyone who cherishes tranquility, comfort, and quiet beauty. A perfect 10/10!

Amazing, amazing, can't say enough good things about this property! Jesus and Catalina gave us the best service and worked very hard attending to guests. The grounds were lush and tropical, fabulous views and amazing trails. The breakfast was wonderful with great views of the garden. Many different areas to hang out inside and out. The rooms were big and cozy. My favorite part was the shower with glass looking out into garden area. I saw a hummingbird right outside the window while taking a shower.........so cool! They had a peacock on site, another added bonus. I can't say enough great things about this place. I can't wait to go back to this property and spend more time in the area!

I loved this place. Definitely an authentic, beautiful, relaxing place to stay. The beds and linens are the comfiest I have ever had at a hotel, and I had an excellent night sleep both nights. The architecture and design of the building is just stunning. We have a large room with three beds and it was perfect for our family. Very close to Poas Volcano, La Paz Waterfall Gardens and Starbucks Farm. The breakfast that is included in the stay is superb. We also had dinner and it was quite nice as well. I would happily stay here again.

The location was nice. However, our Expedia reservation stated that the check in time was 2:00 pm. We were taken to the stool, which was not ready. It was a rainy and cold day, and we waited in a hotel library. It took 1 hour and 40 minutes to get our room ready. We asked for a swarm drink, perhaps, as a courtesy for the inconvenience and were given hot chocolate. There was no apology, the receptionist left and on top of that, they charged us for our “courtesy “ drink!
It was lack of concern and lack of customer service that was very disappointing.

My reservation details (name, phone number, dates of stay, amount due, etc.) were leaked before my stay and were used by scammers to send genuine-looking booking and payment messages using accurate information related to this hotel. The hotel acknowledged this serious security incident, yet I have received no further response and no attempt at resolution. This lack of action is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the hotel’s data protection practices. I would advise future guests to be cautious and consider whether this is the right accommodation for them.

My booking said I had the room for 4 adults and I was charged additional guest fee but the room and one king bed and one twin. Not sure how this was a 4 adult room. Expedia booking was misleading and I paid extra money for nothing! Hoping that Expedia will address the issue by providing a refund

The Poas Volcano Lodge is a magnificent piece of architecture. The rooms are huge, the beds and other furnishings are all top quality, and the woodwork is very impressive. The common areas are grand and inviting, the grounds are verdant with a few impressive sculptures. The off-season rates are very reasonable. We loved it!

The one area that has room for improvement is the restaurant. Although the staff was very friendly, the meals were average at best. There seemed to be poor communication between the front desk and the restaurant staff regarding pre-ordered breakfast.

Astounding beauty outside, a stylish, cozy feeling inside. We stayed in a mountain view room on the main building, and really enjoyed our short stay. We'll be back to try to trails on property. The room is spacious (much larger than it looked in the pictures), the view amazing, and the grounds are gorgeous. Fantastic property, and lovely service. Highly recommended.

The personnel are all very kind. The breakfast is good, better than average, and the location is very good.
There was something running inside the walls of our room that you could hear but it wasn’t so loud that it would interfere with your sleep.

Wow!!! This hotel is more than what we all had expected! It’s clean! I got a garden view room with my 2 boys. It was the cutest room! It was so clean and everything you need is in the room.

We went on a little hike with my 2 boys while we were there. They have umbrella available. They have boots available for me AND my boys. They were at the beautiful green house. I cannot recommend more about this hotel!
We would def return!

Beautiful accommodations - up to date, spacious room, large bathroom. The grounds were very attractive and well kept. Dining was very good which is nice since the lodge is a bit out of the way from other options. Good location - not too far from San Jose and close to the Poas Volcano National Park and not far from the La Paz Waterfalls.

If you have the chance to stay in the Poas region this is an amazing hotel to spend a couple of nights at. A comforting blend of Welsh country farmhouse and Frank Lloyd Wright architecture this is a place of rest and relaxation nestled into its surroundings. Curl up with your favourite book in the glass walled library with a tiny woodburner giving a cosy warm glow, add a glass of red wine and you will feel like you are welcomed into an English country house or head down to the pool table and games room after dinner. Friendly welcoming staff, lovely dinners (very reasonable pricing) means that everything is provided on site. We were only there for 2 nights and didn;t get to try the walking trails. The only improvement we could suggest would be a fridge in the rooms.

Staff was great. Everything about the property was great. Only issue is that the rooms had issues with fire ants. We had moved rooms because our first room had them all over the floor coming up through the wood planks. They had us Move to a different room that seem to not have them but when we woke up in the morning, they were everywhere. We were originally booked for one night, but decided to leave for the second night since my partner is severely allergic to fire ants. Other than the issue with the fire ants it was a really gorgeous property with wonderful views!

Javier was Also top notch as well! We enjoyed our stay so much! Breath taking views! Homemade breakfast and dinner! Not much for children to do around the property. Would say it's mostly for an adult peaceful stay! 10/10.

Poas Volcano Lodge is a place that leaves you with lasting memories! From the incredible surroundings to the stunning interior that provides a “I wish this were my home” feel. We really enjoyed relaxing and reading our books in one of the several sitting areas. The wood burning stove added an extra warmth to the experience. The hiking trails right at the property were enjoyable. Having to navigate around the cows just added to the experience. We also enjoyed both the breakfast and dinner we had here. You could tell that they use fresh and locally sourced ingredients for the meals.

Fantastic location with stunning views. The public areas are lovely, beautifully designed and immaculately clean. The restaurant was surprisingly upmarket, considering it's location half way up a mountain, and the food was tasty and well prepared. The garden rooms were understandably basic, but again well equipped and perfectly clean, although probably overdue an update to the bathrooms. The only real spoiler was the apparent lack of any soundproofing between the garden rooms, which allowed us to hear almost everything that was said and done in the rooms nextdoor. Notwithstanding this, it was a lovely spot to stay for a night and as a launchpad from which to visit both La Paz Waterfall Gardens and the Poas Volcano.

Enjoyed our stay. Lovely property and rooms. We stayed in the Jacamar room which was very homely with an additional sitting area and fireplace and small enclosed garden which was constantly visited by hummingbirds. Although the property has its own restaurant it is in close proximity to other eateries. It is also in a good lication for visiting the volcano and La Paz Waterfall and Gardens.

So let me start by saying I loved the property. It was absolutely beautiful and stunning to wake up every morning to such a beautiful place and view.

The staff is general were great.

Few things that basically didn’t allow me to give it an excellent rating.

1) really far from anywhere. Had I known this I would have rented a car earlier and would have not stayed as long in one spot.

2) We were bumped off two days earlier due to a large group coming. Which was communicated to us prior to our trip. We knew this issue and didn’t have a problem with it. However the night before our check out they alleged we knew we were going to move rooms. I told management we were never told this. She said the group wanted the cabins we were staying. We were NOT happy with this, but when they showed us the other rooms we accommodated them and moved to the other rooms.

Well the group arrived and they hung out in the main house which we were staying. They began to drink and became louder and louder by the hour. We could NOT sleep and had to ask the front desk many times to get them the quiet down. It was after 1:30 AM that the group finally left for bed.

But had I stated to management on my check out that we should have never moved. They should have made them stay in those rooms since they would have all be together and could have been as loud as they wanted to. We moved to accommodate management and that group.

Green light in room annoying.

Excellent hotel. And I gave 5 stars on every category except overall rating. The sole problem was that this hotel is at very high elevation - its cold at night and sole heat was a space heater - we did not sleep well and of course a good night’s sleep is important during a vacation.
