10/10 Excellent

Just amazing! Waking up in front of the forest was a mn amazing experience. We spent one day in the family tent and it was very confy except for the extra bed. I would recommend max 4 people. Breakfast was very good and in the master dome with incredible view. We also loved the firepit event in the evening when we had time to meet with others guests! Definetely worth to stay!

Manuel, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was one of the most incredible stays we’ve ever had. The views, location, and scenery were breathtaking, and the room was both beautiful and practical. We stayed in the King Suite overlooking the valley, which also had a small rooftop area offering an even more stunning vantage point. From the suite, we could see donkeys and cows roaming below, which only added to the charm and natural beauty of the setting.

8/10 Good

Very good overall

The place is beautiful, well located near Poás volcano, in the mountain with a cute garden and view. We stayed in a standard room the first night, a little bit old but comfortable. Second night in a dome ; the setup is beautiful but can be loud at night if windy or rainig and suite cold ! Breakfast was good, well prepared but small portion !

Altura Hotel is an absolute delight! From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with stunning views that stretch far and wide, offering a serene and picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle. The tranquility here is unmatched- it's the perfect spot for anyone looking to unwind and soak in the natural beauty of Costa Rica. One of the standout features is the breakfast, freshly made and absolutely delicious! You can taste the care and quality in every bite, making mornings here a real treat. The hotel's cozy and inviting hangout spaces add to the charm, giving guests a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy good company, a great book, or simply the peace and quiet. The rooftop space was a fantastic spot to take in the views! While it only had one chair, it was still a lovely place to enjoy the fresh air and peaceful surroundings. A few more seating options would have made it even better, but the experience was wonderful overall. Whether you're seeking a quiet retreat or an adventurous getaway, Altura Hotel delivers on all fronts. The combination of breathtaking scenery, top-notch hospitality, and peaceful ambiance makes it a must-visit destination. Highly recommend!
