Guayabo Lodge

Such and amazing place. Comfortable and beautiful with an incredible garden. Fantastic views from the room. Great hospitality. I was only here a few nights but already want to return. We had dinner both nights in the restaurant and everything was great.

I stayed here for three nights in March of 2024 and couldn't have been happier. The food and service were top shelf, the gardens were lush and full of tropical flowers and unique birds. The panoramic views were incredible, and it was nestled at the foot of an active volcano. It's close to the town of Turrialba and other interesting sites.

Nice hotel in an area of Costa Rica not overrun with tourists. The grounds are lovely and the views are beautiful. No real amenities to speak of, though. Breakfast is a basic buffet and was ok. Dinner, though, was very good, albeit expensive. The issue is that if you don’t have a car, there is really nowhere within walking distance to eat, so you are stuck eating here and paying the price. Our room was nice enough. Fairly spacious although a bit dated. Some upgrades are needed to modernize the space. As noted naive, you are far from town, so you need a car to see or do anything. All in all, a decent stay for a couple of nights.

A one night stop off on tour of Costa Rica. When we arrrived, it was misty and the hotel was very cold. By morning, the sun was out and we had a chance to walk round the lovely gardens and admire the views of Turrialba volcano ( the hotel is half way up). The room was comfortable but cold and no means of heating it. Dinner and breakfast were reasonable. Not sure why the tour stopped here as we didn’t do much other than eat and sleep.

A great friendly welcome we stayed here as we had visited Irazú volcano and Turrialba volcano as well as Guayabo national monument. Making a trip from one to the next…. Do not try to drive to Turrialba if you don’t have 4x4, local people told me the road, which I drove almost to the end, was FATAL… anyway that’s just a tip if that’s your plan. The hotel, lodge was fantastic. Our room spacious, comfortable and all we needed for an overnight stay, and womdeviews of the mountains around and a view of Turrialba Volcano behind us. Evening dinner was tasty and plentifully enough and enjoyed by all. We made use of the bar before dinner and played cards in the lounge area in the lodge. Travelling around a country there’s never enough time spent in one place, this place I wished we had spent a couple more days in. Thank you ❤️

Amazing hidden paradise!! Loved everything about it!

So beautiful and the people are warm and friendly. So many species of birds at this mountain lodge. I recorded 19 different species in 2 minutes from my balcony. Also, my balcony overlooked the Tirialba Volcano. Such a lovely and peaceful lodge and location.

Beautiful property and unbeatable views. The owner was so welcoming and the food was great!
