Wonderful lodge! Liked it so much we rearranged our itinerary to come back for another night. Super quiet & scenic. Really enjoyed the pool, deck, restaurant, and seeing birds, monkeys and iguanas. Arrived too late for pizza the first night, but stayed to have it for lunch and it truly was delicious. However, learned later that Costa Rica’s ban on feeding wildlife extends to private property and bird feeders, so it would better not to feed the birds at all, or at least farther from the deck so macaws don’t swoop in for human breakfast food.

Great place to stay, easy reach of the airport at San Jose but far enough away to be surrounded by birds and wildlife

Very friendly staff, especially Jessica at the reception area. Not many vegan options on the menu, but they are willing to make some vegan (Vegana) food for us to take for our morning bird walk. Only complaint was that it was noisy with the leaves/branches hitting the roof.

Room was clean and the facility was good. Did show it’s age a bit, but nothing that detracted from the stay.

Nice property. Nice owner. Room was plain but clean with ok beds. The outdoor bathroom was lovely. We enjoyed the pool. Food was ok, our order was wrong many times. we didn’t mind but if you are fussy it may not be the best choice for you. Don’t expect 5 star it’s a simple place surrounded in beautiful nature.

The location is very special for bird spotting. We also saw cappuccino monkeys and local squirrels. And macaws! Great pool, has hammock, but the best part was Jessica at the front desk! She was so helpful with my questions and just a great person.

i'm afraid to say we were very disappointed with the state of the rooms which we felt were really overpriced, especially as breakfast was not included. The food in the restaurant was overpriced ($15 for breakfast, $17 for a falafel salad). We had booked a standard room and had to ask for an upgrade after the first night as the room was cramped, dated and impractical. We found both rooms to be very dated in particular the electrics. The upgraded room had a hole in the wall fixed with cellotape, tiles were missing in the bathroom etc. Both rooms had an outside bathroom which didn't look anything like the photos on the site. An outdoor bathroom is a very impractical idea as it invites insects to the room and the doors are not sufficiently insulated to prevent ants from coming into the bedroom. I have to say i really resented being charged for the upgrade, having stayed in many other hotels in Costa Rica where this price would have given us access to a much better standard of rooms. I don't know why the rooms we were given looked so different from the pictures on the website, especially as the hotel was virtually empty with only another couple staying there those 2 nights. It's a real shame as the settings are really nice and this place would be great if the rooms were renovated as the pictures would lead you to believe.

Wonderful staff. Excellent location with great birding opportunities right outside the door. Clean room. Pool was being renovated but we were notified beforehand and provided with a complimentary drink and snack. Would return.

The hotel is nice. They stay was good. I could not see nor enjoy much but, I had a good night. However, the breakfast was expensive and extremely poor. It is not worth at all. Unfortunately!

Our flight was diverted due to weather, causing a 5 hour delay so we were not actually able to stay overnight but staff kindly let us hang out in the morning and enjoy our breakfast. The breakfast was super tasty and filling. Two scarlet macaws ate bananas at the feeders while we had our breakfast. Such a cool experience!

I had a fantastic stay at Cerro Lodge. There’s so much wildlife around and the staff are all very friendly. They even showed me where I could spot an elusive Pacific Owl.
