"We booked our stay for the last 4 days of a two week trip around Costa Rica and this was by the far the best hotel we stayed at. It genuinely is as amazing as it seems in the photos and in the reviews. We had a spacious room that overlooked the beach. We had a generous sized balcony and plenty of space in the room to relax in. The pool and dining area are just spectacular - everywhere you sit allows you to take in the even more spectacular views. The decor itself of the hotel is so chic and peaceful to be around. Our breakfast was always delicious and soo much effort goes into them. Same with the one dinner we did enjoy there. It felt like fine dining food! Lastly, the staff. They are just amazing. So friendly, helpful, welcoming and so full of knowledge of the wild life in the area too which was so interesting to listen to. The staff deserve so much praise. 10/10 from myself and my fiance!"

"We stayed 4 nights at this little gem. The staff gives away family atmosphere. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Mayra and I felt like she was family, super friendly and accommodating. The room was spotless, very cozy and pretty. The pool is very inviting and every room is facing it, as soon as you open the door it's right there, I would say the place is very Instagrammeable. Breakfast is delicious and they serve it hot for you. The location is very convenient, you can walk to a lot of restaurants, to tour operating companies, to the beach/national park. We had a rental car and it was nice to have a private secure parking spot for it, but the hotel has bikes that you can use for free and you can move around the area comfortably in them. You can book your boat tours directly with them as well. Also, we were talking to the owner and she let us know that they're working on building a spa, I'll be using it next time for sure as it will be ready soon and we're planning another trip in a short time hopefully!"

Trogon Lodge

Trogon Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"I highly recommend The Trogon Lodge. The staff at the reception desk, the restaurant and the bar/café were super kind and helpful. The new manager is doing a great job. Delicious food: sopa azteca, sauteed trout with veggies, chicken stew, egg omelettes, for example. The trout could not be fresher since the hotel has its own trout ponds. (If you like juicy trout better ask the chef to cook it for less time.) The hotel is located at 2,200 meters above sea level (7,000 feet), at the edge of a crystal clean river, with a soothing sound and view areas with chairs to relax. Gardens and mountains around it are spectacular. The beds are very comfortable making it hard to get up. Many stairs and small hills to reach the upper rooms. The trails can be challenging, and I recommend using hiking boots there. Again, highly recommended."
