Hotel Cerro Lodge

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.

Staff are very friendly. Location excellent. The room is clean and comfortable.

The staff was great.

Bon hôtel

Les commentaires élogieux nous ont convaincus de réserver cet hôtel. Nous avons été déçus du début a la fin... Accueil à la réception moyen, pizza pas si excellente que le disent les avis (perso, jamais mangé de pizza avec trottoirs aussi larges et si peu garnie en Italie !). Chambre spartiate avec rideaux trop fins pour faire l'obscurité dans la chambre (résultat: les guirlandes situées face aux logements éclairent les chambres toute la nuit). Et pdj très très ordinaire à 17 dollars (pas les 10€ annoncés sur le site expedia). Seul plus : la piscine, très agréable, et la vue du restau.

Clean room, staff really helpful, very peaceful place.

Comfortable and clean. The view was great and we enjoyed seeing all the birds and animals.

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.

Mycket god pizza på restaurangen. Trevlig personal och frukosten var oxå god. Roligt att de matade fåglarna så att man kunde se dem på nära håll.

Beautiful hotel in an amazing location. Really feel the pura vida. Not luxurious but connected to nature

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.

Personal muy amable, la comida del restaurante excelente

Great location surrounded by nature and animals, hospitable staff and delicious restaurant

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.

Lovely - food was fantasic - don’t order a cocktail

Personnel aux petits soins. Situation qui permet de voir énormément d'oiseaux (aras, toucans, tyrans quiquivis, colibris...), des singes, des écureuils, des iguanes... Nous aimons ce genre d'hôtel perdu dans la nature.

Clean room, good breakfast buffet, staff were very friendly

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.
