Wonderful location (a bit remote, but worth it!) and very gracious staff! My family enjoyed our stay here so much and will remember it for years. We especially enjoyed the monkeys, horseback riding, and the food!

I wish I had known about this place before wasting my money somewhere else. Santa María Volcano Lodge is amazing. I stayed here with my two small children, and the experience was excellent. The staff are outstanding—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring. I’m 100% sure there’s a lot to do here, and the atmosphere is peaceful, beautiful, and family-friendly. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back. Highly recommended.

What a great place to stay, great people, accommodations that keep you comfortable while allowing you to really experience the forest and good food and drinks to cap it all off, wish I'd stayed longer.

Amazing and tranquil place!

The staff here were super friendly and the cabins were impeccably clean. Had a cozy night in one of the loft cabins.This area of Costa Rica has cooler weather, so you don't have to worry about being too hot. The restaurant staff were warm and welcoming and the food was great. This is an amazing deal for the price. Definitely would recommend!

We loved the remoteness of it, and the friendliness of the lady who served us dinner and breakfast. This is not like a stay in the more touristy parts of Costa Rica like La Fortuna or Monteverde. This is off the beaten path. Its not as close to the Rincon de la Vieja park as we originally thought (1h30 drive time on poor quality roads, in theory there was a straighter distance road but we didn't trust our rental AWD Rav4 would be able to get there).

Beautiful family owned farm property

What an amazing stay! The farm is thriving with wildlife and the plants. There’s so much hiking nearby. Our room was comfortable and cooled off at night. We loved the place so much that we want to come again. Very well maintained and the owners feel like family

We loved our stay at this rustic location. Awesome authentic breakfast and very accommodating and informative hostess, Yocky. For travellers expecting luxury and air conditioning, this is not that experience. It is rural (some dodgy roads to get there), and basic but clean and well maintained cabins. Good hiking in the area.

This place is a hidden gem! The rustic cabins are well maintained and clean. A short walk from the cabin and you arrive at the restaurant where the food is amazing and reasonably priced. The hosts were so nice and helpful, making suggestions for our hikes and other options for dinner (although we ate on site 4 times it was so good). Our kids miss Lucky and Domino and wanted to take the puppies home :-) I would definitely recommend!

We absolutely loved our 4 night stay here!! We stayed at the family cabin, ehich the kids loved as it looked like a treehouse! We took advantage of the horseback riding, the view and tour guide were incredible and if we had another day there, we would have went again. The owners were fantastic with communication before and during iur stay, they even offered to have dinner ready for us upon our late arrival, which made things much easier after a long travel day. The food was so good and so much serviced, we had a hard time finishing everything! On top of the services they offered, they also let the kids go milk cows and provided us with tips ans suggestions we took for local areas ehich was greatly appreciated ♡ i could say so much more about how much we loved it there and would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area, especially with children!!

Inhaberin super freundlich, macht alles möglich, spricht super Englisch. Unterkunft war wie beschrieben mitten in der Natur und sauber. Wir hatten noch zusätzliche Moskitonetze, die wären aber nicht unbedingt notwendig gewesen. Sowohl das Frühstück als auch das Abendessen waren ausgezeichnet. Wichtig zu wissen: für die Anfahrt lieber einen SUV oder 4x4 nehmen und unbedingt die „richtige“ Straße nutzen, nicht den direkten Google Maps Weg vom Nationalpark.
