Quiet, friendly lodge

Reviewed By chaletaria

A peaceful lodge with beautiful gardens. We took their river walk (part of their extensive grounds) down to Aquiares River. The owners / staff are very helpful and friendly and helped organise our trips out. The food is delicious, mainly home cooked and mostly with home grown produce. The garden is especially beautiful, with a variety of birds. The views from the window are spectacular; a good tip is to get up early to take advantage of them before the mist rolls in. The lodge is close to Guayabo archaeological site, which is well worth a visit itself. The rooms were very nice, with an excellent shower (much appreciated after several solar powered hotel showers).

Very central in Turrialba town but without the traffic noise. Limited secure parking available. Nice rooms with modern en suite. (my only negative is that the in-room TV is very small). Helpful staff. Smoker's terrace with nice views of the volcano

Great place with friendly owner

Reviewed By necox201

A friend and I turned up unannounced having not made a booking. There were no other guests (quiet at the moment due to coronavirus and the owner, Gilbert, was relaxing with some of his friends near the pool). Gilbert welcomed us very warmly, leaving his friends to prepare a room for us and fetch us some cold drinks. We tried to say we were fine and we could make the beds ourselves (we didn't want to interrupt his day) but he insisted on doing it for us. We were leaving very early in the morning, but Gilbert still got up to to make breakfast for us and offered us a lift to the town a few km down the road. The hotel and room was quiet, clean and very scenic. We were walking the Camino del Costa Rica and particularly appreciated the comfy beds after several nights of camping. Thanks Gilbert for the fair price (from memory Gilbert quoted a price a little under what the online price was at the time) and being a great host.

Amazing experience with awesome staff! We were super late getting out of the airport and getting our rental and they were SO understanding and waited for us. We got ready and drove straight to the beginning of our adventure of a lifetime. Rafted into our lodging. The views from the rooms were so amazing. I loved every minute of staying there. Didn’t even notice that there was no electricity or internet. It was so great to unplug for 24 hours.

Uncomfortable beds and rooms

Reviewed By Jillian A

We stayed last night. We booked the room for three nights and left after the first night. I have allergies to mold and couldn’t sleep- the sheets/pillows smelled moldy. The room had small transom windows with no screens that let the bugs in. There was no overhead fan or fan of any kind. The mattress was a single mattress on a platform and very uncomfortable. The towels were rough and gray. There wasn’t any decent shampoo. Photos posted are of our room and bath. No refrigerator in the room. There was only one other couple staying there that night. We got in late - at 6:30 pm and there didn’t seem to be anywhere nearby for dinner. The owner is extremely nice and tried to be accommodating. If you want a budget hotel with a beautiful view this may be for you. Breakfast was okay. I have multiple food intolerances- and admittedly did not let them know. Eggs with ham and toast were served and there was no other option for breakfast. She offered to make me beans and rice the next day. Although we decided to leave. The hotel photos exaggerate the size of the deck. It is a large deck but not as spacious as the photos appear. The room was very utilitarian. Very disappointed.

The Lodge at Reventazon River Mountain Ranch

Amazing Accomodation!

Reviewed By trenschiii

We stayed 2 nights at Torre Alta Lodge and it was one of the best stays we've had in Costa Rica. The owners Annette and Harry are lovely and very welcoming. The worden lodges are beautifully decorated, have a great view and are made to stay. We slept very well, enjoyed the breakfast and also the dinner that Annette cooks is awesome. They organize all the excursions you want to do in the surroundings. We would have loved to stay longer!

A great place to stay

Reviewed By NLcelticfc67

We did not plan to visit Turrialba and our initial plan was to stay there for just one night as a stop-over. However, because of this great place and the hospitality of the hosts we decided to stay for an extra day! Ingrid gave us some great advice about things to do in and around Turrialba. We visited the Guayabo ruins and also beautiful waterfalls in Aquiares. One of the best things about the accommodation were the great balcony with views of the forest (and if you are Lucky the vulcano). Also the guesthouse has the cleanest communal kitchen that we encountered during our stay in Costa Rica so we really appreciated this! We highly recommend others to stay in this place if you are travelling or even if you want to study Spanish in a calm environment.

Aquiares Coffee Farm Casa Hacienda La Esperanza

Wonderful stay

Reviewed By fredy_escaip

One of our favourite places so far in Costa Rica. The house was beautiful, with art relating to the area and with a beautiful garden with many fruits, herbs, and local plants. Wilman and Ana (I hope I spell their names correctly!) were amazing, super attentive and helpful/friendly. Ana cooked our dinner which was one of the best on our trip so far. The coffee here also tastes like coffee is supposed to! We had an amazing time and wish we’d stayed longer. Highly recommend!
