Food in the lovely restaurant was really amazing and excellent value. The grounds were beautiful. Unfortunately the weather didn't co operate for us to do much hiking along the available trails but that's no reflection on the hotel itself. Breakfast was delicious

The Deluxe Boutique Lodge was perfect in so many ways. We booked this location to be close to Poas National Park and La Paz Waterfall Garden. It was 20 minutes to one and 10 to the other.
Walter met us at the property even though due to weather and construction we were about an hour late. He also became our lifesaver that day. Again, due to weather, a family member was delayed arriving into San Jose. Walter volunteered to drive down to San Jose and pick her up.
The property is located on the main road into the small village of Vara Blanca, walking distance to restaurants and shops.
The Lodge is super clean and very nicely decorated. The beds were very comfortable, the WIFI very good and the huge TV was a welcome diversion during the stormy weather.
We do not hesitate to recommend this property

Property is magical, our kids loved exploring the grounds finding a donkey, feeding chickens and petting the dogs and cats
Located in Fraijanes, 3.7 miles from Poas National Park, El Descanso Restaurante y Hotel provides accommodations with a terrace, free private parking and a restaurant.
Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns. Different landscape with the farms and greenhouses and coffee plantations in rolling hills. Waterfalls.
Loved the drifting clouds coming up the valleys in the evening. Cool evenings and warm days.

We went to La Paz Waterfall gardens and it was an amazing place. You could easily spend an entire day there. Also the area is known for strawberries. We bought some from a roadside stand and they were delicious.

This was a great stopping place for us and is close to La Paz, Poas Volcano, and Doka Coffee Plantation. We stayed here after visiting La Paz Waterfall Gardens (which is worth the cost to visit), and then just had a short drive to Poas the following morning. We only stayed one night, and didn't get to visit the town, but its location is perfect for a stopover while visiting the nearby sites.
Great stop on our way from SJO to Arenal (only an hour from the airport - immediate transition into tranquility). The lodge was stunning with so many lovely sitting rooms and views. We were there with our parents and 1.5 year old son and there was a nice play area on the lower level (many stairs and delicate items for a 1.5 year old so little kids definitely require constant attention if you're up for it!). Breakfast and dinner were delicious. Only 15 minutes from La Paz so we got there early and beat the crowds.
We loved the location in the mountains with a great view and away from the humidity and bugs. It felt like an authentic Costa Rican experience as the house was until recently used as a local family home, so it wasn’t built just for tourists. The kitchen was equipped with everything needed to cook meals. The owner Tomas was very helpful and interesting to hear him talk about giving back to the community and trying to live more simple and preserve the environment.
Very pleasant highland area stay base with short distances with private car to Poas volcano and La Paz waterfall area. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, some king of personal touch brought to mind old-style country villas in Eastern or Southern Africa - very easy to feel home. Very good birding opportunities on the hotel ground, around the hotel and on the trails. We were sad to leave the place after two nights - it would have been so nice to stay longer.
This a very beautiful hotel with grand view and a fancy bathroom. Humming birds are buzzing around the balcony and even got into our room. The evening frog tour is a must go. Parblo, the tour guide was exceptional helpful and knowledgeable. He showed us many different frog species and associated the guests who wanted to take photos. In the morning you can walk into the la Paz waterfall garden from the hotel before of the outside guests.
It is very nice place! Our room was very nice with full bathroom (hot water) and nice view from the window. There is a restaurant on the second floor which is very convenient. Also, there is a nice trail in the back of the property with great view on the sunrise (if you lucky) and the trail to the farm animals that are pettable.
Poas National Park is about 20 minutes from the hotel and the Waterfalls - about 7 minutes.
Tiquicia Lodge is beautiful and an amazing value for what you experience. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, the rooms are spacious with beautiful views and the food was amazing. The grounds even have a short hiking trail that takes you to a beautiful, small waterfall. Would definitely recommend staying here -- especially if you're heading to La Paz or heading towards La Fortuna.
Nice beautiful location near La paz garden.
Come with a friendly dog who went on trek with us! My kid said it was his best time in Costa Rica.
Easy to drive and park the car in beautiful house.
Very friendly host, who communicated on whatsapp on what to do. Eg breakfast tips etc
No mosquito due to high altitude!
It’s a beautiful place on the hill. It’s very close to La Paz garden. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast was tasty. The dining area was very nice. The cabinet was cute and cozy with privacy. And you can park your car in front of the cabin.
Breakfast was amazing, eggs cooked perfectly. The staff including Fanny, Javier and the GM were exceptionally helpful and nice. Very close to Poas Volcano and La Paz waterfall gardens which is why we chose this lodge.
Highly recommend.
Great stop off location with beautiful scenery. Room was fantastic with good facilities and balcony to watch the sunset. Staff very friendly and good restaurant at the hotel to have evening meal and breakfast in the morning.
I feel very torn about this place. The hotel itself was amazing. The room beautiful, views were stunning and staff really friendly. If I was writing a review on the hotel only, i would be raving about it
Very nice lodge and perfectly located if you want to explore the Poas region. Great breakfast, cute rooms with spectacular view and beautiful garden. Really enjoyed the hotel owned hiking path!
The stuff was friendly and the hotel has a lot of entertainments on its territory - badminton, minigolf, pool, etc. The location is also very convenient ot visit the Poas volcano.
