We too booked and pre paid on the website thru paypal. We too went to check in and were told that they would not honor the reservation and we would need to pay again. As this was Christmas Eve- we were a bit stuck so paid again. They did give us a 20% discount and free continental breakfasts for our... More

If you want seclusion, this is your place to stay. Be prepared to have warm clothing on hand as it gets chilly at night. Our room #30, did not have any heat so it was very chilly. Another couple staying 2 rooms away said their room had a space heater so perhaps we could have asked for one?? The rooms... More

We a spent part of our honeymoon at Trapp some 11years ago and loved it so we decided to return. The hotel has expanded in the interim but lost none of its allure. I am writing this review sitting in our room. We have an expansive view of not only the grounds but the surrounding mountains. Its breathtaking. This hotel... More

Ok when planning a trip to Costa Rica I Never expected to stay at a lodge. Our vacation was pre booked but this hotel fit the bill perfectly. It is in the mountains so it is a bit cold. The lodge gives you that rustic family lodge feel. Made of wood with a huge lobby. There are computers, games, and... More

I am staying at the lodge right now and are reading the comments. So I want to write while it is still fresh in my memory. This is a wonderful wooden, rustic place to stay. The room is very spacious! I met many very friendly staff on my trip through costa rica but this is the best ! I had... More

If you like wood you’ll like this hotel. From the outside it looks like a Swiss chalet. Inside you have wooden floors, walls and ceilings. Even the lightshades are wooden. All this makes for a place which needs false lighting for all of the day. We were in the main building and the room was OK. It has an area... More

It was a great location, with panaromic window overlooking the cloud forest and (if lucky you can see rainbow from your window). Room was spacious, built with keeping environment in mind. Its quite, peaceful. You wake up with the sound of nature - birds, windy trees. Great with family with kids. Its just 1 km from the Moteverde reserve (3... More

My son and I stayed here December 10th and 11th. This is a beautiful lodge located at the top of the continental divide, at the very top of the mountain right next to the entrance to the cloud forest. It looks like a Swiss chalet with wood floors, ceilings and was quite beautiful. We were the only ones there the... More

It was with trepidation that we went to the Trapp Family Lodge having the reviews. The outcome was better than these lead us to believe. It was quiet as the rainy, or off, season was still underway (it lasts through the summer season of the US and Europe). This factor may account for some of the comments relating to early... More
