The Deluxe Boutique Lodge was perfect in so many ways. We booked this location to be close to Poas National Park and La Paz Waterfall Garden. It was 20 minutes to one and 10 to the other.
Walter met us at the property even though due to weather and construction we were about an hour late. He also became our lifesaver that day. Again, due to weather, a family member was delayed arriving into San Jose. Walter volunteered to drive down to San Jose and pick her up.
The property is located on the main road into the small village of Vara Blanca, walking distance to restaurants and shops.
The Lodge is super clean and very nicely decorated. The beds were very comfortable, the WIFI very good and the huge TV was a welcome diversion during the stormy weather.
We do not hesitate to recommend this property

This place is like Alice in wonderland. We stayed in one of the "tents" but they were amazing domes with a window wall and soaking tub. Breakfast was terrific too.

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.

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.

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!
Very 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.
We came to the lodge right from the airport (less than hour drive). The hotel is very nicely decorated with a homey feeling. The lounge is really nice and even has a small fireplace (it can get cold at night).
The guy at reception was very nice and helpful and helped us with the national park reservation. There is also a beautiful trail in the hotel’s area - it is very recommended.
Lovely location, with trails around the property. Independent family run hotel. For warmer days there were outdoor facilities (BBQ grill, swimming pool, games). Onsite restaurant was open for dinner and again for breakfast. There was also a fridge in reception with water/soft drinks/milk/snacks for purchase.
Casa Volcano is in a lovely location. It is an nice representation of life in Costa Rica on a working farm. Our host, Tomas, was very warm and helpful in every way. We had all of the amenities that we needed and the location was just right for our needs.
The solitude was amazing. The hummingbirds were enchanting. The staff was amazingly helpful, helping me find a cab and the Waterfall Gardens down the road. The gardens here are very well maintained, someone loves their gardens!
Great stop off location with beautiful scenery. Room was fantastic with good facilities and balcony to watch the sunset. Staff very friendly and good restaurant at the hotel to have evening meal and breakfast in the morning.
This hotel is amazingly situated with a fantastic view over the forest. The waterfalls are very nice and there is a small zoo as well which is pretty cool -.especially for the kids.
The bathtub on the balcony is great.
it is so beautiful. hummingbirds everywhere, a trail with waterfalls on the property, mini golf (a tough course, too!) and a romantic cabin with no internet access. very close to La Paz waterfall gardens.
I feel very torn about this place. The hotel itself was amazing. The room beautiful, views were stunning and staff really friendly. If I was writing a review on the hotel only, i would be raving about it
Located with a lovely view of Poas Volcano, the room in the main lodge was beautifully appointed and very comfortable. The restaurant staff served the best food of our three week stay in Costa Rica.
Very nice lodge and perfectly located if you want to explore the Poas region. Great breakfast, cute rooms with spectacular view and beautiful garden. Really enjoyed the hotel owned hiking path!
The hotel is lovely, the property is very nice and food was excellent. The staff if very attentive and welcoming
You can park the car next to the bungalow, which is totally equipped and cozy
The hotel was beautiful with gorgeous surroundings . 4 beautiful waterfalls , loads of long walks and stunning nature. I would have stayed much longer if i had time.
