Loved this spot. Nestled into the jungle off the main highway, it was peaceful and quiet and we were surrounded by monkeys and macaws!! I'm a mountain girl so i wanted to avoid staying in the busy beach towns but still be nearby friends that were staying at the beach. It's a great location! The pool was great, we used it even though it was pouring. Friendly staff, very clean rooms, warm water! Towels provided for the pool. The pizza from the specialty onsite pizzeria was delicious and the best deal. I woke up at 730 am to see the macaws and they were there until around 8. Apparently if people are eating they'll fly up to you but no one was at the restaurant so maybe they went to find food elsewhere.

Jasmin United States of America

Comfortable, pretty lodge near Carara National Park. Friendly staff and comfortable room with large bed and good AC. Delicious breakfast included with our reservation starting at 6 am. Lots of lovely birds all over the grounds.

Sara United States of America

great location five minutes from Carrara NP great pool with a great view very nice staff

Virginie United States of America

Great value. Only about 15 min from Carara NP. Six a.m. breakfast is great for birders. Also there is good birding on the semi-private road on which Cerro Lodge is located …a small wetland, thick knees in a pasture and several raptors seen. Strong controllable AC. Scarlet Macaws regularly visiting feeder/fruit tree area.

Charlotte United States of America

staff was friendly and helpful…but their were constant issues around payment… “mistakes” on restaurant bill with additional charges, attempts to collect twice for a meal…charged $10. for buttered toast and hot water as “ Continental Breakfast” …

Alfred Costa Rica

Beautiful situation among the trees and flowers and birds. Birds everywhere. The cabins were very comfortable and scattered around the property so there was lots of privacy. Also they booked us a great trip down the river to do more birding. it was terrific. Very nice helpful staff. And the other guests interesting too.

Rosemary United States of America

Hi, very nice hotel with good food & friendly staff!

Wim Belgium

The property is beautiful and the pool and restaurant overlooking with the birds are amazing!!

Kara United States of America

Great location, in nature, far from the road so that you don't hear traffic. In the morning, you will be able to see many birds and even monkeys. Nice beaches and Carara national park are nearby. Rooms are great with a very nice open-air bathroom.

Damien France

We loved the main lodge and employees. The food was phenomenal and reasonably priced. The viewing tower was awesome. We loved our reptilian guests, frog and daily lizards. Birding was phenomenal from our front steps.
