Family hotels and homes in Higueronal

The lodge was set in beautiful gardens and lovely surrounding area in the mountains. The room was so lovely. Loved the terrace with hummingbird feeder on so we could watch the birds through the window whilst sat in bed. Everything about the place was well thought out, clean and extremely comfortable. Breakfast was really nice and they have a restaurant serving excellent food in the evening. The place is run by a lovely husband and wife team who were very friendly, spoke excellent English and were very interesting to talk to about the local area and life in Costa Rica. They were very attentive to our every need, constantly checking we were happy. We arrived early so parked the car there and went for a walk down the road. We were very impressed that they came to find us and collect us in their car when it started raining hard. They then put on a fire and made coffee for us so we could warm up. They made our last night in Costa Rica very special and we would strongly recommend anyone to stay there.

This was our last stop of a 3-week round trip and a great stop it was. Temperatures are cool at night, chalets are cosy and the showers are warm in the morning (not a given in Costa Rica). The restaurant is exceptional combined with great wines. Great value for money! Including the restaurant.

Wonderful room, spacious, with a comfortable bed and pillows. Rich breakfast and a super staff member, Michael, very helpful and nice. There is even an excellent restaurant and we ate delicious food. Very recommended

Everything: Amazing nature, friendly stuff, excellent housing and good food.

Great food and outstanding service. Felt completely welcomed. Was very focused on us having a pleasant stay, including the children. Really good with children! The food was excellent! - fresh, tasty and fulfilling. The view from the lodge and from the road up to the lecheria are amazing.

The location with the sight on the Valley is amazing! The whole farm wit coffe plantage was awesome for my child even if we were just walking around. Tha hauses was pretty new, absoluttely clean and comfy. And the hot springs at the evening it was top of the top.

This place is a gem: a wonderful eco-lodge in the midst of primary rainforest. You can trek straight out of the lodge along several trails, or sit with a coffee watching the hummingbirds. A highlight for us was seeing the resplendent quetzal from the lodge. The food is fantastic, freshly cooked and super healthy. The owner Berdich took us on a walk and pointed out the birds and plants; he is super knowledgeable and passionate about the environment. I can't recommend this place highly enough, it's a gem. We arrived by bus; it's 200m walk from the bus stop.

- dinner and breakfast were great - unique location, 2700 m above sea level, - hummingbirds at your doorstep and the famous quetzal in the area - wooden houses with lots of warm blankets and an electric heater

Our expectations were quite high, and the reality was even better! The lodge is perfectly located and spread in the middle of cloud forest. You get your private villa, each has its own privacy and fabulous views through the ceiling-to-floor windows. Yes, it is a bit of walk from the reception area, but that is the main magic there - the seclusion and privacy. I read here lots of negative reviews about the black bathrooms. I don’t understand why it is issue for you? And off course you are in the middle of a cloud forest where the humidity reaches 100%. I am sure that the staff is doing their best, but sometimes a bit of mould can appear (we did not notice it, but again it was mentioned in a review before). All facilities in the bathroom worked perfectly including hot water, so we had no problems. We very much appreciated that this resort is doing maximum to be eco friendly. They have their own special concept. You should take it as a Eco-lodge rather than classic resort. They also provide really great conditioner which helped a lot with my sun-damaged hair :-) Breakfast is a la carte and is very tasty. One morning we even ordered 1 extra portion and resort did not charge us for it. The onsite restaurant is opened for lunch and dinner (we didn’t try it). Within few minutes walk from the resort, there are 2 local restaurants + minimarket. Miriam’s restaurant is a must! We booked both arrival and departure transfers via Dantica and both worked perfectly. Driver was ontime and journey was smooth. We also booked the Quetzal tour via Dantica and it was well organized (for us, it was a bit of mass tourism, around 30 people chasing 4 quetzal birds, but we would never see these beautiful birds without the guide, so it was worth it). Every member of the staff were very nice to us and helpful, it was a real pleasure to stay there. It is one of a kind experience. Don’t hesitate to book this wonderful place.

Beautiful property, incredible experience. We were a part of the CR Open Diwnhill race. If you ride DH, this event is magic!
