Nous avons passé un superbe séjour. L'endroit est propre et tranquille, la nourriture et le service sont excellents. À environ 1h30 de Las Pailas en véhicule, la route se fait bien. Nous recommandons!

Staying at Santa Maria Volcano Lodge was one of the warmest and most memorable experiences of my trip. From the start, it felt like staying with extended family rather than at a lodge—the owner and staff were incredibly kind and attentive. On my first night I arrived very late, and they still kept my dinner ready, reheated it, and served it with such care that it set a wonderful tone for the rest of my stay. The lodge is very clean and well maintained, and my cottage was comfortably sized and cozy. The food was excellent for both breakfast and dinner whenever I ate there. The property is set in lush rainforest, with beautiful greenery and many kinds of birds visible right around the cottage, which made each morning special. The lodge is within a reasonable driving distance to nearby facilities and attractions. The last stretch of road—about six to seven miles—is a bit bumpy, but with a decent car it is manageable and absolutely worth it for the peaceful, natural setting and exceptional hospitality. Overall, I had an awesome stay and would highly recommend Santa Maria Volcano Lodge to anyone who wants to enjoy nature and truly heartfelt hospitality.

Lovely location, just don't take the back road that sends you driving through a creek! Staff and property were lovely, helpful, beautiful. The best food we had our entire stay in Costa Rica! Would recommend to anyone!

We loved our stay here. We saw others who regretted not staying more than one night so we booked 2. It was my kids favorite place of the whole vacation. Next time we will stay even longer. We did the horse riding and also had a farm experience one day. The meals were delicious and the wildlife was stunning. Excellent hosts and staff! Thank you!

Location, activities and staff are outstanding. We were taken care of like family and couldn’t have a higher recommendation for our stay. Thank you for such kindness and consideration for us!

Charming cabana, well cared for gardens full of birds, nice jungle walk from lodging, very helpful hosts.

Good clean, yet rustic. Hosts are genuinely interested in our wellbeing. Very helpful. Peaceful rural experience. Food is plentiful and delicious.

Absolutely loved the property! Had amazing menu items for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My cabin was super cute and clean. It was so quiet that all I heard while lying in bed were howler monkeys, birds and tree frogs. The staff was so helpful and knew me by name. They even made me a sandwich for a hike I was going on for the day! Horseback riding was a blast and was reasonably priced. Wifi in the common area worked great. My only suggestions would be Wifi in the cabins and hot water but those are extremely minor details for me. The road was a bit rough to get there but that's just Costa Rica. Absolutely would highly recommend this property 100%. It was exactly what I needed, a break from everything!

Ein absolutes Highlight auf unserer Costa Rica Tour.

Wonderful location (a bit remote, but worth it!) and very gracious staff! My family enjoyed our stay here so much and will remember it for years. We especially enjoyed the monkeys, horseback riding, and the food!

Lugar lleno de paz y naturaleza. Ideal para descansar y disfrutar de la tranquilidad.

La atención tan cordial de las señoras del Lodge. El restaurante puntual con las comidas solicitadas. Las cabinas sencillas pero cómodas y con buena privacidad. Y agua caliente con buena presión.

I wish I had known about this place before wasting my money somewhere else. Santa María Volcano Lodge is amazing. I stayed here with my two small children, and the experience was excellent. The staff are outstanding—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring. I’m 100% sure there’s a lot to do here, and the atmosphere is peaceful, beautiful, and family-friendly. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back. Highly recommended.

Inhaberin super freundlich, macht alles möglich, spricht super Englisch. Unterkunft war wie beschrieben mitten in der Natur und sauber. Wir hatten noch zusätzliche Moskitonetze, die wären aber nicht unbedingt notwendig gewesen. Sowohl das Frühstück als auch das Abendessen waren ausgezeichnet. Wichtig zu wissen: für die Anfahrt lieber einen SUV oder 4x4 nehmen und unbedingt die „richtige“ Straße nutzen, nicht den direkten Google Maps Weg vom Nationalpark.

Services and the staff are exceptional. We ate breakfast and dinner for two days and loved the food! Thank you Yocky! If you want to stay at a place that feels close to nature, this is it. We saw many birds from our glass-walled cabin. An ant highway ran right outside our door!

Amazing location, food, staff, and vibe. Highly recommend

Tres bel endroit, petite maison rustique, Nourriture excellente Personnel tres sympathique Je conseil

We loved the remoteness of it, and the friendliness of the lady who served us dinner and breakfast. This is not like a stay in the more touristy parts of Costa Rica like La Fortuna or Monteverde. This is off the beaten path. Its not as close to the Rincon de la Vieja park as we originally thought (1h30 drive time on poor quality roads, in theory there was a straighter distance road but we didn't trust our rental AWD Rav4 would be able to get there).

The staff here were super friendly and the cabins were impeccably clean. Had a cozy night in one of the loft cabins.This area of Costa Rica has cooler weather, so you don't have to worry about being too hot. The restaurant staff were warm and welcoming and the food was great. This is an amazing deal for the price. Definitely would recommend!

Todo muy auténtico, personal siempre muy atento y amable y el lugar ideal para estar en contacto con la naturaleza.
