Cheese lovers flock to family-run dairy farms for tours and tastings of Santa Cruz de Turrialba's famous artisanal cheeses. Hike through misty coffee plantations or visit the nearby Turrialba Volcano National Park for spectacular views of the active crater.
I arrived after hours due to a delayed flight and the staff waited for me to arrive. I can’t thank them enough. Great location, amazing views - would stay again thank you

This hotel is second to none. There is only 5 rooms in the entire grounds, this means within minutes the attentive staff know your name and are doing everything they can for you. The service is excellent, the food excellent and the rooms are great. Loved the outdoor shower and glass toilet. We did an incredible day trip with Denis to waterfalls on horse back. Highly recommend the entire experience.

This is a great place to stay if you enjoy tranquility, scenery and wildlife. Not great if you prefer a lively night scene. We ate at the restaurant every night because the food was so good but also because the drive back down the valley to the village was rather daunting in the dark. Jose, the chef/owner serves up fresh water fish, locally caught in a variety of imaginative ways but he also serves meat and vegetarian options (he is also a very good photographer and enjoys sharing his photos of...

Awesome… A great welcome from the host and shown to the lodge which was wonderful. The secret garden is way up in the mountains overlooking Cartago and had it not been cloudy we would have seen a spectacular sun set, unfortunately we didn’t, but the cloud did ease off for a spectacular view of Cartago sparkling in the night far below our lodge. Some extras left in the lodge for those caught out, a couple of long hoodies and jackets for when it’s cold which was a wonderful touch. Breakfast was...

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, the food excellent and the whole atmosphere was very good. We particularly enjoyed walking in the hotel grounds and listening to the amazing birdsong.

The most difficult thing appears to be able to find the hotel. It is off a busy road on a tight turn with limited width and you will find you have to use the intercom to get the gate to be opened. Use this GPS: 9.834830, -83.836998 location to get you to the exact turn-off for the private gated hotel.
Parking is sufficient once inside and the rooms spacious with good beds and bathrooms/showers. Comfy seating on each verandah provides needed relaxation. The kitchen in the room has fridge and...

The room was huge, with a vast en suite and good facilities. It was spotless. The staff were friendly and professional all the time. So helpful. The restaurant had the most wonderful ambience, being semi open air, with a stupendous wire. Great food at every meal.

Location was perfect for spotting birds and doing short (10-30 minutes) drives to other good birding locations. We booked the room with balcony. The room was clean and the bed was good. Patrica is the lady that manages everything. She also cooked great meals for us. So please order the lunch and dinner also there. We are very happy and enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommended!
