This is a funky style property, which would have been cool had the amenities been working. The first room had the bathroom flooding that it rained down to the bottom floor. Our new room didn’t have enough hot water for the jacuzzi to work and the heater downstairs was broken. The cottage was damp and cold as was the bed. The staff was lovely though and ready to help as best they could. The grounds of the hotel were very nice.

Amé la estadía. Es un sueño la localización de este hotel. Hay áreas que deben tener un mejor mantenimiento pues da la impresión de verse abandonadas. Pero en general el lugar es hermoso, la "tent" hermosa y limpia, el desayuno rico.

This is such a unique property. My family (partner and 2 kids) stayed in the suite and had so much fun. The views are spectacular, my kids loved exploring the property and getting to know the dogs and cats that roam about. Beautiful, relaxing, and fun. Wish we could stay longer.

We loved our stay at the Altura Hotel. Ramiro checked us in, and he was super friendly and helpful. The hotel is about a 10 minute drive to Poas national part. The property is quite lovely and has a beautiful view, overlooking the city. There is so much attention to detail on the grounds. The breakfast was delicious as well. Highly recommend!

The hotel had a hippy vibe, lovely grounds, many nice plants. Small open lawn for kicking around a soccer ball. Gnomes all over. It was quite chilly, especially when the sun set. Breakfast: included, but we were only able to eat the fruit and juice/coffee. It started being served at 6:30, and our Poas volcano tour started at 7, so we had to leave before the eggs and other food were ready. It ended at 9am. Internet: spotty “Superior” Room: small for 5. There is a bed accessible by pull down attic stairs (that had a crack in it). It was quite hot up there during the day but it cooled off a lot at night. Our 14 year old slept up there. I wouldn’t want a younger child to go up the stairs and have open railing at the top. Our 11 year old slept on the couch (not a convertible). And, our 8 year old slept on the small bed. It has a refrigerator and kitchen sink. There is an interesting covered building with views of the valley below, a tree growing up through the roof, and more gnomes Overlook near the breakfast area is nice. Farm next door with many cows and a donkey. Three big dogs to pet and a friendly cat.

Great place, wish we stayed longer!
Excellent stay as a family with two young kids! Highly recommend spending some time at the properly for the kids to have a run around and explore everything the place has to offer (we wished we were staying another night). The breakfast was lovely too. We stayed in a tent which was comfortable with a great view, slight leak when it was raining but nothing that affected our stay. They also had lovely large dogs on the premises which my kids loved. Highly recommend

This hotel was the best hotel i stayed at Costa Rica. The staff were very friendly. The hotel was very quiet. Not many guests were staying there. The room was nice and big and very brand new. The breakfast was a bit far but the walk to there contained a great view. The parking was nice and easy. They give you a flashlight in case you want to go to your car at night. Overall, best hotel.

Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) enjoyed our stay. The property was beautiful, the breakfast was yummy and the people we interacted with were very pleasant. Check in and check out went smoothly. They provided a good recommendation for dinner. We only stayed one night and would have loved to have stayed longer.
