Loved the property and being in nature. Close to center of Santa Elena if you have a car, otherwise it’s a 20-min or so walk and you have to go up and down an incline. So it’s not super convenient into the center by foot. But taxis cost $5 to and from the center and shuttles are $4 one-way to National parks. The surroundings here are very peaceful and beautiful and you’ll see lots of birds, butterflies, and other animals!

Cala Lodge is in a beautiful natural setting, relatively quiet but within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The lodge has a helpful staff, high sustainability ratings (Blue Flag and Green Leaf) and contributes to the local community. Excellent breakfast included in rates. Some of the smaller rooms are less comfortable, but all are clean and well provisioned. We will definitely come back.

We loved our stay at Cala Lodge! The staff went out of their way for us and gave us good information on many questions about the area. They even set up a birding guide for us; Roy Porras was excellent, top notch! We saw so many great birds from our deck and the breakfast area!!! We would definitely visit their again and I highly recommend Cala Lodge!!!

1. Beautiful surroundings 2. “Suites” are actually 4 small apartments in one building. Family next door with little kids up at 6:30, and they are in the next room. Not their fault, but no insulation so super loud. 3. Not enough parking so we returned from dinner in the pouring rain to find our parking spot gone 4. Looked forward to tea and cake from 3-5, but the cake was gone upon our arrival at 3:45 and never replenished. 5. Most expensive place we stayed and felt like the cheapest. 6. Great atv tour

This is a simple and cute property in Monteverde, not far from the town (as long as you have a car). The staff is very friendly and helped us book all of our tours. The breakfast was also excellent. Our favorite part about the property were the animals we saw. Toucanets, hummingbirds, and lots of other small birds and mammals were roaming around - what a treat!

Book here. It was amazing!
We absolutely loved this hotel. The staff were lovely. The view from.our room was great. We saw coati right from the balcony jumping in the trees. Lots of hummingbirds and aguti. They have a trail through the property. The breakfast is wonderful!! So much food. They also do tea/coffee and cake from 3-5. There are a number of restaurants within 5 min walk (try Alissons). The main town was about 20 mins walk away. I would book here again and I recommend it.

Great beautiful property. Breakfast is the best part of this property. Option for vegetarian people as well! No AC but there is a fan and cooler in the room. And the location is chilly typically that you don’t need AC. You can open windows if you would like. Must stay for those looking for cheap convenient yet beautiful place to stay.

Being in our room here almost felt like being in an upscale cabin or treehouse! It was very quiet and peaceful. There were thunderstorms at night and I loved listening to them while lying in bed. The bathroom was extremely nice with good soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion. There is a lovely trail at the back of the property.
