We stayed in a "tent" that was wonderful (see pictures). The grounds have a lot to walk around and see and the breakfast is cooked fresh and delicious. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

My husband and I met our family at Altura Hotel for a two-night stay. Adrianna, the receptionist, was amicable and helpful. Our “Standard Room” was anything but standard! It overlooked the whimsical gardens and was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We loved the locally-made bath products. Spending two nights on the side of Poas volcano felt like being in heaven! It was quite windy during our stay, so bring a light jacket! Each morning, we were treated to eggs cooked to our preference, fresh fruit, coffee, and delicious bread. The resident puppies (friendly, large mountain dogs) and gatos made us feel right at home during our stay at Altura hotel. As a bonus, the local area has plenty of great restaurants and is a short drive to the Hacienda Alsacia coffee farm.
We stayed in a “suite” that was one big room for four with two uncomfortable beds and ugly furniture. The Wi-Fi didn’t work and neither did tv until morning. This would have been okay at a reasonable price but all in the room was $175 which was a price point where we had two spectacular stays in CR. This said the young woman working there was very nice (unlike older guy and apparent owner), breakfast was good, and grounds are lovely. If going to the area just find somewhere that night. You’ll pay much less and it won’t be worse
Fantastic and convenient place to start or finish a trip to Costa Rica if you want to avoid San Jose. It is close to the most beautiful volcano , Poas, and also to the airport. You can take your rental car and spend your first night here in preparation for your visit to Poas Volcano (10 mins drive) The lodging and breakfast is just fantastic. I fully recommend it.
Our teen kids became very excited on exploring our shipping container accommodation. They loved having their own floor and lounge area. The combination of the inside steps for excitement and the outside steps for ease of use worked very well. We enjoyed the views down to the valley from the grounds and from our roof. The staff were very helpful with ordering food to be delivered for guests and we enjoyed eating around the fire pit. The icing on the cake was a spectacular view of the Volcan Poas crater the next morning.
Going to Poas Vulcano and need a place to stay? Then this is the place for you! This isn’t a normal hotel but different houses where you can choose from. We stayed 1 night in a Iglo tent and totally loved it! Very luxurious with a bath and separete shower. And a good bed (although it was a small bed). Good breakfast. Would love to go here again.
