A place to see macaws!
We were celebrating my sister’s birthday day with a family trip. This hotel was close to our destination and price was good (through Hotels.com, it was way more expensive when I called the hotel). They had a delicious breakfast and the scarlet macaws came to eat fruit, it was beautiful

Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Cerró Lodge. The staff were amazing and made sure that we enjoyed our time. They booked us on a bird and crocodile tour on the Rio Tárcoles that I would certainly recommend. The pizza we had for dinner was delicious. Rooms very clean and comfortable. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful. I look forward to visiting again!

An unexpected gem well off the beaten path. We booked this the day of arrival. The road to the hotel is a gravel rough road but the premises were absolutely great! The food was delicious. We ate both dinner and breakfast there and both were fantastic. The wildlife in the morning was the cherry on top! Be aware, the bathroom facilities is outdoors (covered but no wall closing the bathroom in). It was definitely an experience! We had the deluxe suite.

Beautiful place to stay! In the jungle, bedrooms have AC. Pool is small but everyone was cool and respected each other’s space. Restaurant was really good and had so many options. Got to see some monkeys and tucans as I ate.

I had a really good experience here. The location secluded and is great for wildlife viewing. The food was good and they kept the facilities clean. I thought the staff was outstanding. Ceasar was very good and arranged transportation and coordinating some activities for me in Jaco.

A wonderful place to stay
This place is a hidden gem! Located in Tarcoles, about 30 minutes from Jaco, this property is surrounded by the lush jungle and has gorgeous macaws coming over frequently to snack on fruits and seeds at the restaurant patio. The on-site restaurant serves a delicious breakfast and dinner and there’s also a nice pool where you can cool off on a hot sunny day. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Great place in the middle of nature. We enjoyed the pool after a very hot day. The room is very comfy with a nice outdoor bathroom. The buffet breakfast was a good surprise.

It was an excellent choice! Rooms are nice, beds are comfortable. Hotel is located 10min from Carara park. They offered us the Tarcoles cocodrile tour and it was amazing!

This was our second stay at Cerro Lodge. We appreciated the availability of having breakfast, lunch and dinner on site. Restaurant has a good selection of pizzas and pastas.
Denis, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff are very welcoming and helpful. We saw a lot of wildlife around the property more than in Carara Nacional Park. Around 4:45am howler monkey starts making noise and then tons of birds. We saw about 15 Scarlet macaws nearby the lodge.
GRACE, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Road to get there was very hard to drive on and full of rocks and potholes. Bathroom was a separate room that was outdoors, covered by a wall of thin tarp and trees. It was a cool concept but I feel like people can hear you use the bathroom and flush the toilet. Also there was wildlife and bugs since it was outdoors. Restaurant was pretty good and staff was nice!
