Casa Turire is a pleasant stay in a lovely inn with nicely landscaped grounds, as well as a convenient place for casual birdwatching. The trees outside the entrance have a dozen Montezuma oropendola nests, bright tanagers are all about, and the grounds include trees favored by handsome black vultures. The upper end of the lake is a natural area with... More

Stayed here a few nights as part of a tour group. It was a very interesting place, and but for a single caveat, we would have loved it. The hotel is in what looks like an old hacienda or plantation building, with the rooms on the upper floors around a large interior court. Looked to have less than 20 rooms.... More

Great place to spend a night or two while travelling. We stayed here after flying into San Jose airport on our way to Puerto Veija. Staff was very welcoming with a cold cocktail waiting. Dinner was excellent and served by the pool. The room was a decent size with comfortable beds. Overall, great experience and would recommend as a stopping... More

We were welcomed when we arrived with a nice cold welcome drink and smiling faces at the front desk. We were escorted to our room which was a standard room. It was very spacious with two beds and a nice little balcony. The room safe was extremely small only accommodating the size of a passport. There was only a ceiling... More

This hotel is in an interesting part of the country and superficially a pleasant enough place to stay - staff were all very helpful and food was nice. But it suffers from a complete lack of atmosphere and mock opulence - from its grand driveway to its empty lounge areas. Of all the places we stayed in costa rica this... More

it's an absolutely great hotel to get rid of the flight stress and jet-lag (just 2hs by car from the alajuela airport). we did especially like the "southern-states-architecture". the environs, service level and food was outstanding. recommendation: take a right at the exit from the hotel (not a left to turrialba) and follow the unpaved road throughout the sugarcane fields...

We spent a night in this lovely hotel on a great spot. Peace allover, only the sound of the birds and insects. The hotel is so unique, a little hacienda, very nice rooms, good chef and a very friendly staff. If the sky is clear you can see the vulcano Torrialba. This was definitively not the last time we went... More

We have been vacationing in Costa Rica for the past 5 years and just found this place on our last visit. It is our new favorite hotel. It's small and quiet yet has all of the luxuries. The restaurant was amazing......GREAT food and GREAT service!!! The views from every part of the hotel are beautiful. We stayed there 3 nights... More

My husband and I spent 2 night here, as a mid-country stopover between the west and east coasts. It is a lovely hotel, in a beautiful spot. Great views of the Turrialba volcano, and the hotel's location on a lake, add to the scenery. The staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. We spent lots of time just walking... More
