Poas Volcano Lodge

property is beautiful. we had a room in the lodge. lodge has different sitting areas, so very cozy even on rainy days. there are some trails on the property. be prepared for mud. if you go to the greenhouse, they have different sized rain boots you can borrow. breakfast was good with an ordered breakfast in addition to granola, yogourt and fruit. dinner was our least expensive, was very good. propert is a little isolated but this adds to its charm. a car is necessary. it took us about 25 minutes to drive to Poas National park. don’t panic if you reserved a specific time and are in a car lineup to get in. they only allow so many people and cars in at a time.

Helpful staff: although check-in can only be until 10pm - I have messaged that we're getting late, and I wasn't sure if we will get there by 10, I was told that reception will wait for us in any case. Upon arrival at 9:30, the staff was informed that we may arrive late. Beautiful main building and surroundings, 30 minutes drive to the volcano.

The location is ideally located to see and drive to Poas Volcano. It's in a serene setting with lovely gardens, views of the volcano, dairy farms, and strawberry greenhouses. Lots of blooming flowers and birds. There are 4 trails on the property also. The dinners were delicious and breakfast varied and plentiful. The restaurant staff and reception staff are helpful and friendly. We loved sitting in the lounges reading in the evenings with the ambience of the little wood-burning fireplaces/stoves. Roads in the area are very good. Close to several coffee plantations; Doka was our favorite(great tour)and there's a Starbucks plantation(great view, not the best tour.

We knew Poas Volcano Lodge would be a nice place, but it turned out to be much nicer than we expected. The entrance as you drive through the dairy farm is lovely, and the hotel's grounds are much bigger than I thought. We stayed in the main building and found the style and the architecture very nice, incredibly spacious, very well kept. There are multiple lounge areas - the photos don't do them justice. The rooms are large, the bed really comfortable, and the view over the volcano is beautiful. We had dinner on site which was ok - like a nice homely meal - and then enjoyed a few glasses of wine by the fire on one of their many couches. Overall, we were quite surprised and delighted by how lovely our stay was. If you're looking for a place that's cute, cozy, but of a high standard then this is it.

Wonderful location, with views towards Poas Volcano. Tranquil and peaceful location with beautiful gardens, landscape. Friendly and helpful staff throughout. Good choice of breakfast was included in the room rate we had paid. We ate each night at the lodge and the food was delicious and such a lovely cosy restaurant. The lounge area was beautifully furnished and we loved the little log burners which warmed it. We would certainly stay here again.
