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

Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns.
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.Alice - 10Scored 10

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.JenniferUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0
The villas were adorable!
The villas were adorable! We loved our short stay but the wifi would not let us let our families know we had arrived safely. If you plan to leave early to travel more, the check out time is 9 am- not 7am! The staff member who spoke English was very kind and accommodating!

- From $144.92 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 379 reviewsGreat 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.
MichelleUnited States of America - 9.2Scored 9.2WonderfulRated wonderful· 142 reviewsWe 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.
RobinUnited States of America - From $144.92 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 379 reviewsVery 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.Jukka HarjulaFinland

They worked with me to arrange to have chocolate covered strawberries and meats and cheeses and an incredible fruit platter brought to the room as a surprise. The bathroom is one of the most unique bathrooms ever with a waterfall in the shower. The outside hot tub was a great way to start each day. Loved this place and they were so friendly. Don’t miss the frog tour at night. It was a highlight.SauerUnited States of America

After finding out (by driving there) we could not hike to the Poas volcano (you need an online permit) we discovered Villa Calas had THEIR OWN hiking trails - so we did that instead! great little hikes right there! Staff was SUPER friendly, food - some of the best we have had and the cabin was so cute PLUS a fire place for the cool nights. Great location for the La Paz waterfalls and gardensPatrickUnited States of America

I was under the impression that it was an animal refuge but it’s more of a rescue and the animals are caged. they are healthy and the habitats are nice, but it’s still sad to see with all the free and beautiful space they have on the grounds. we stayed here because the admission to the park was included and the waterfall gardens were beautiful.JillianUnited States of America

The hotel is very nice and well located to visit the Poas Volcano (less than half an hour). We also had the chance to feed tucans, sloths and hummingbirds, which was the most amazing experience.Natalia MariaItaly

Breakfast was great but you should also try their dinner menu - everything we tried was delicious. There are many areas in the property where you can enjoy the views and nature.
