We stayed at this lodge on both sides of our trip to CR. Oliver and Mark were excellent hosts, and after a fun filled week on the Caribean coast, it felt like a homecoming getting back to this beautiful place. The food was great, and each room had excellent views over the valley and very nice beds too! More

I am so glad that I stumbled upon Poas Lodge while searching for places to stay in Costa Rica. After a looooong day of traveling, Poas Lodge was a welcomed retreat. Mark carried our suitcases down to our cozy room, went back upstairs, started a fire in the fireplace, and had a glass of wine and a beer waiting for... More

Poas Lodge doesn't look like much from the roadside view but is defintely worth checking out if you are looking for a reasonably priced hotel with an incomparable view. The rooms are small but neat and clean with comfy beds. The owners pay attention to the little details from the fresh flowers to the chocolates. We especially appreciated the quality... More

We loved our stay at the Poas Lodge. The room was quiet and very nicely decorated - we even had beautiful fresh flowers. Breakfast was very good and so were the lunches we had there. And the view. During the day you looked out over the fields with the cows grazing. At night you saw the lights of San Jose... More

We stayed here for two nights and quite enjoyed our stay. The proprietors are very solicitous. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the free breakfast was a bonus. The view is great out the window of the room and the location next to Poas couldn't be better. We only ate breakfast at the restaurant which was not great, but... More

The Poas Lodge may not look like much from the road, but as the saying goes, "you can't judge a book by its cover." The Poas Lodge is a perfect case in point. Behind the humble facade is one of the true hidden treasures in all of Costa Rica. The Mirador Quetzal restaurant is named after the resplendent quetzal, considered... More

Stayed here for 2 nights in April 2012. The service and room were excellent. The room was very clean and cosy and the bed was very comfortable. We did not close the curtains at night - the view was too good to shut out! The restaurant upstairs was really good. It was excellent to sit next to the window enjoying... More

You HAVE to stay here! Mark and Oliver are unbelievable hosts and they've created a wonderful atmosphere in the lodge. We ended up arriving late on the night of our check-in but they were so calm and relaxed, told us to get ready and come back up to the main eating area for dinner. The meal we ordered was a... More

We really wanted to stay at Poas Volcano Lodge after hearing from friends about how great this place is, and it's location to the National Park entrance. Unfortunately the only room they had left was a basic one which was a bit tight for our group of 4 people, but we had friends visiting from Canada so were just glad... More

We absolutely loved the Poas Lodge! Mark and Oliver are incredible hosts talented in every detail. The location is amazing with panaoramic views of the valley and it's proximity to the Poas Volcano is wonderful. From the moment we walked in we felt warmth and comfort. The fireplace was inviting, the food absolutely delicious and the rooms incredibly clean and... More
