Location was great, not too far of a drive for the day of arrival it placed us very close to our first activity on the following day. Poás Volcano and Bajos del Toro Blue Falls trail. The restaurant was great, we had a very tasty warm meal upon our arrival and breakfast was great. The whole facility was beautiful and well groomed. Staff were nice and extremely helpful. They helped us book online the tickets we needed while we used their computer.

With mountain views, Hortensias Chalets Vara blanca is set in Heredia and has a restaurant, room service, bar, garden, terrace and children's playground. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge.

The room was comfy, it was a little cabin, it even had a small heater really nice 👍 The restaurant was good, you can eat there or ask them to take it to your room, something to remark is that most of the restaurants close between 17 and 20 hours, they do have the kitchen open till 20:30..

    We have no words to describe the magical experience in the Peace lodge. Amazing views, lovely hottub on the terrace as well as an exceptional bathroom. Access to the resort's La Paz Waterfall Garden is included so you even get to enjoy it outside openinghours and the extensive Garden is on itself already worth a visit. Very clean. Good food on multiple locations. Very helpfull staff. Worth its price, for sure.

    Great 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.

    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.

    The location is great, there are hummingbirds flying around which is beautiful. They waited an extra hour for us for check-in which was really nice. The lodges are unique, quiet and peaceful.
