Excellent food and birds.

Great stay

Excellent stay, room rustic but good liked the outside shower. Food very good but very big portions so should have ordered one between the 2 of us. Great views of birds from the deck.

Treasure off the beaten path

Jungle surroundings, with lots of butterflies, birds, and monkies. A memorable relaxing spot.

Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

There were howler monkeys outside in our first morning when we arrived. We also saw scarlet macaws both mornings we were there and the breakfast was nice and convenient to start the day with. The staff were very friendly and very helpful in planning tours for the days.

Beautiful spot. Love the patio to eat and watch birds.

Good lodge close to Carara

I enjoyed my two days at Cerro. The cabin was spacious and the outdoor (screened) shower tres cool. Staff were friendly and helpful. Guides and tours can be arranged at the hotel. I wouldn’t recommend the river tour.

Needs new beds, but monkeys!

This was a brief one night stay. The grounds are natural/immaculately beautiful. Upon arrival, we were greeted by howler monkeys in the trees directly above, macaws and parrots. This place is a rustic nature lovers dream. The rooms are VERY basic and the bed was not comfortable (dip in the middle that makes it difficult for two people to share), mold in the shower and a ill-fitting door that lets in small bugs are what dropped this rating down. Pool is beautiful and relaxing, the wonderful food from the restaurant, the overall environment and the staff were great- 5 stars for those things.

The property and surrounding area was beautiful with a lot of birds. The staff was great. The food was really good even the pizza! My only complaint is the the walls were very thin and we could hear practically every word our neighbors said.

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

Everything is excellent. The only thing I don't like is the transportation.
Shengjia, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is a rocky road for a few miles to get there, and limited dining/food options once you're there, (so take the prepaid option), but you are in nature, with birds and monkeys. My wife is a birder and absolutely loved it. Be sure to confirm whether your bathroom is inside or outside.
Timothy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Second time staying here, wonder place to relax surrounded by wildlife.
Philip, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The grounds were spectacular, with birds and monkeys right at the restaurant in the morning. Having said that, there were bugs all over the hotel room floor, termite dust all over the beds, no bedcovers (only sheets), three towels for four people, a big spider in the open air bathroom, a toilet that did not flush, a shower curtain coming off the hooks, and dirt all over the shower.
Holly, 1-night trip

Fourth time at Cerro Lodge. Always a pleasure.

Always amazing. Our fourth time there.

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!
