Everything! The location is beautiful, the grounds kept perfectly, the rooms are incredible, the food and drinks excellent and the service was incomparable. The rainforest trails are wonderful and the conservation efforts (at first we were concerned ir was a zoo but all the animals have been rescued) are inspirational. It was ridiculously expensive but worth every penny.

Very nice staff who gave me two extra blanketts because of the low temperature that night. The bungalow is very simple but good enough for your needs, with fridge and kitchenutensils and coffee for free.

Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns.
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.Alice - 10Scored 10

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.JenniferUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0
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!

- From US$144.92 per night8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 382 reviewsGreat 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.
MichelleUnited States - From US$144.92 per night8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 382 reviewsVery pleasant highland area stay base with short distances with private car to Poas volcano and La Paz waterfall area. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, some king of personal touch brought to mind old-style country villas in Eastern or Southern Africa - very easy to feel home. Very good birding opportunities on the hotel ground, around the hotel and on the trails. We were sad to leave the place after two nights - it would have been so nice to stay longer.Jukka HarjulaFinland

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.SauerUnited States

The animal sanctuary is well done and the hike to the waterfalls is steps from your door. Staff is friendly and helpful. Be sure to do the frog tour and the animal feeding...these were highlights of our stay.RebeccaUnited States

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 gardensPatrickUnited States

The staff is super friendly and accommodating, the rooms are spacious with beautiful views and the food was amazing. The grounds even have a short hiking trail that takes you to a beautiful, small waterfall. Would definitely recommend staying here -- especially if you're heading to La Paz or heading towards La Fortuna.SamUnited States

The hotel is very nice and well located to visit the Poas Volcano (less than half an hour). We also had the chance to feed tucans, sloths and hummingbirds, which was the most amazing experience.Natalia MariaItaly

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!DenizGermany
