Mark and Oliver were the perfect hosts for our 2 day stay. The kids loved hanging out with Girlie and playing games in the restaurant -- very homey feeling. At night it is so quiet and no cars coming down the street, makes for a great nights sleep. The food is delicious. Too bad the fireplace was broken while we... More

Thank you for taking the time to review Poas Lodge, all the reviews we have make a huge difference to our business, so thank you for being a part of our success. We have had the chimney repaired! Thankfully it is working again and we have a fire going every night again. More

I asked specifically for the room shown in photos (upstairs, king bed, two upholstered chairs in sitting area next to window) , and was not disappointed. Very comfortable, nice little touches like fresh flowers, coffeemaker. The view at all times of day is incredible; clouds forming at eye level, sweeping vistas of the hills and plains, and at night the... More

We just LOVED everything from this place! The owners Mark and Oliver and so warm and make you feel right at home! The view is just stunning! We loved eating there at night with soft lighting and the amazing veiw of the illuminated central valley. They even offered us blankets to keep warm while we ate. They add a huge... More

Cute, basic lodging, that has been done up well. From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but once you're in, you see what the fuss is all about. I can only speak to our room, which was at the bottom/base level. While the rooms were clean and decorated warmly, I never did feel 100% comfortable. The ceilings were a... More

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are concerned that you did not find Poas Lodge 100% to your liking, especially considering your long wait for meals. We do have staff here daily to take care of the restaurant and prepare meals, we try keep a balance between staffing and costs and also prepare each meal... More

We stayed at Poas Lodge during the last four nights of a trip devoted otherwise to the Sarapiqui Valley lowlands. The adjective that comes to mind for me is "atmospheric". It's a small lodge and a restaurant; the latter is frequented by many tourists coming down from Volcan Poas National Park. It's run by Mark & Oliver, who go out... More

This was the perfect spot to begin our vacation in Costa Rica. The staff were very accomodating and kind. The rooms were beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Once we figured out how the hot water worked in the shower there was nothing wrong at all. The location is perfect for stepping out to Poas Volcano and La Paz Waterfalls. We... More

To all of you who love an adventure, Poas Lodge is a must to visit when in Costa Rica. We arrived for our first time, Sunday afternoon and were met with open arms by the staff. The two managers Mark and Oliver were the best of hosts, bar none! Our room was so clean and beautiful with fresh flowers and... More

I've been here a couple of times and I always love it. The place keeps getting better every time I go. They keep upgrading and updating. The beds were so nice to sleep in. Oliver and Mark treat me like a friend when I come. They are great and make this place the best place to stay in Poas!!!! More

This is a great place. There's only like 5 rooms, but they're very nice and clean. I've heard there's a great view too, but due to weather conditions we couldn't see anything but rain and mist. We had dinner here as well, which was very good. The lodge has a cozy fireplace and I really liked staring at the wall... More
