"We loved everything about Santa Juana Lodge: Alan was a terrific host, the drive up was awesome, the room and view was fantastic. We went to the waterfall and did a few other hikes around, highly recommend! Nikki & Henry"

"The staff is wonderful; kind, accommodating, fun, helpful! The breakfast is amazing. The location is perfect for many things. The oldest rooms could use some work, but are as advertised. Highest recommendation for this hotel! "

"Overall excellent. Only (minor) problem was that the first night was pretty cold, and there was no heat in the room. The second night the host provided a ceramic electric heater and that made the cabin very cosy."

"This is a wonderful lodge for birding. You will see Resplendent Quetzals on the early morning tour (thank you to the guide!), and many other special species in Costa Rica right in the gardens and at your cabin windows (Long-tailed silky flycatcher and volcano hummingbird, for instance). This is a beautiful property, well maintained and quiet. You do have to walk on narrow pathways up and down a hillside to the cabins. I stayed in the double room one night and a superior cabin the second night. I recommend the superior. The double room was closer to the restaurant, reception, and other people, and very cold with only one space heater and older construction. The superior is larger with 2 space heaters and newer construction so it heats more efficiently. The view was amazing, as were the birds and sounds of the jungle! Breakfast was not included in the price and I found $13 expensive for a couple greasy eggs and bacon. I wasn't there to eat though. The birding was spectacular. I drove about 40 minutes to Batsu Garden in the Rio Savegre Valley and found species I had hoped for including Volcano and Scintillant hummingbirds. Thank you! "

"Very pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness and size of the room...looks to have been recently renovated. A delightful hotel in a great area of downtown close to all the shopping. But most of all the service was amazing...all the staff was very friendly and helpful with whatever our needs were. Definitely will be staying here again when we are up this way."

"Amazing view from every individual lodge. This is an amazing property with a large natural areas with hiking trails. The trail levels would be moderate and difficulty, but it is really nice to be with trees and natures. Excellent services, staff are warm, friendly and helpful. Excellent dinner menu with very reasonable prices. Humming bird feeder brought nice visitors. The bird and nature guide (Carlos) booked through the lodge was excellent. We saw quetzal birds twice!!! "

"Lovely home and great view."

"We (4 adults in our 60s) loved our stay at this very secluded and architecturally elegant place with a huge view across the jungle to the sea. Pool was a perfect temperature and delightful, and separate bedroom wings provide extra privacy. Birding from the private bedroom baconies was fantastic (toucans, tanagers, etc.) Road leading to the house was implausibly rutted and steep but just barely manageable. Overall, a total delight to stay here."

"Great Dinner and Breakfast "
