I booked a room for one night so I wouldn’t have to stay in my car until my flight left the next day at 2 pm. After a three-hour drive and getting completely lost in a rain storm—the hotel seemed closed. Restaurant closed. No information about having a 4x4 car to get down the hill to the hotel. Only card number to confirm the booking with them. They tell you what they have to offer and how much a room is. I walked downhill at; 1KM with my dog in hand. The mist from the mountain top filled my lungs. I got to the bottom and no one was in sight. No signs. Nothing. This place needs to take down all the “great reviews” “five stars” and just all in all be taken off the internet so no one has to go through what I just went through. This place has nothing to offer but lies and misleading bookings on “booking.com”. After almost passing out going all the way back up the hillside with rocks and mud… I found help with Felipe at a diner—he gave me tea and listened to my story. The name “El Descanso”. They have another restaurant connected to the hotel that is absolutely gorgeous. Very good price for everything it comes with. The hotel is called El Descanso and I will refer them to everyone who wants to be five minutes from an amazing volcano and be around genuine people who care. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Why is this "Hotel" even on "TripAdvisor" and or "booking.com"....take it off.

Extremely disappointed by this company. The  accommodation is within the boundaries of the national park which is currently closed due to Volcanic activity and has no expected opening date, you cannot therefore stay at this accommodation.  We booked on the 25th April 2017 for a visit in August. The park was closed indefinitely  on the 13th April following an eruption and a further eruption in June meant it would not open any time soon and yet they still took our booking and didn't inform us of any potential cancellations.  They  cancelled our booking on the morning we were due to arrive!!  Had we known the accommodation   was closed we would have changed our plans but we were forced to stay in a shoddy cabin of one of their  "mates" .  Do not  book to stay here unless the  national park is open. They are still taking bookings from January onw ards  even though it is not known when the park will open.

The National Park is currently closed and therefore so is the accommodation but they are still takingbookings

The long drive down to the lodge was challenging to say the least, impossible without a 4x4. We were a party of 4 and were given a 3 bedroomed cabina.  Although it was fairly clean, it was very basic with concrete floors and no comfort.  There was no hot water in the whole cabina and no door on the toilet.  The family who ran it were very helpful and the evening meal was wonderful.  Breakfast was basic with little choice.  The views were incredible and we enjoyed our stay, but work needs to be done on the accomodation.

beautiful views, poor accomodation

This is probably one of the most unusual places I have stayed but still had a great time - we stayed there after going to the POAS volcano - which on a side note you want to go to early in the morning or there is a long line to get into the park. 
To get to this gem of a hotel you need a 4x4 jeep/SUV/truck and the ride is quite bumpy - my husband loved the 4x4 aspect - I myself being a city girl - not so much. When we arrived they didn't have our reservation but gave us 2 rooms next to the restaurant which were very clean but also very basic- there are also cabins with beautiful views available - we did not get to go inside any but I think if I was staying more than one night would have preferred. We really had the best time and the food was AMAZING and fresh- this is an adorable family run farm/hotel - the accommodations are very rustic and you definitely have to have a sense of humor but we did laugh and had a great time - there is no internet but we spent our time on the porch enjoying the food and views and a mama horse and her pony played out back and hummingbirds came by for drinks. In the evening we played dominos and drank wine - very relaxing and believe it or not I would go back - it was a fun adventure.

Adventure

Es un lugar muy simple, cero lujos, pero bastante acogedor, tiene una chimenea pequeña (no la usamos) y una cocina equipada en caso se quiera llevar alguna cosa. Fuimos dos personas pero la cabina tiene otro cuarto entonces funciona para familias también, entiendo que hay una cabaña mas grande que es para alrededor de 15 personas, parecía un poquito mas moderna. Es frío, hay suficientes cobijas pero hay que llevar ropa abrigada. La comida excelente, trucha fresca y desayuno típico a muy buen precio, las personas del restaurante super amables, especialmente don Alvaro. En cuanto al camino para entrar al lugar solo 4x4 definitivamente, fuimos en 4x2 y no pudimos salir, los del lugar llamaron a uno de los dueños que vino con carro grande y nos logró ayudar a salir, amable el señor también. Funciona bien para un fin de semana y para quedarse la noche e ir al volcán poas al dia siguiente.

Do not expect luxury, we stayed at a cabin and it was very simple but cozy with an small fireplace (we didn't use it) and a equipped kitchenette in case you want to take some food and drinks. We were two but it had another room so it works for families too. It gets cold at night, the place has plenty of blankets but good to take warm clothing also. Best thing of all, the food, for dinner we ate fresh fish, and by fresh I mean from the water just a couple of hours before, they have their own trout lake. Breakfast was typical costarrican and also very good, excellent price for the food and the people taking care of the restaurant were very nice, especially Don Alvaro. Mind the road, only 4x4 for sure, we went in a 4x2 and we weren't able to get out, luckily they called one of the owners and he came by to help us with his truck, nice guy also. Good place to stay the night and go to the poas volcano the other day.

Bonito lugar / Great place for a get away or to stay the night before going to Poas Volcano 

We spent a night near the Poas national park at Lagunillas Del Poas. And even tough the place was not perfect, I feel I've had a lot and an excellent service for my money.

Warning number one : THE PLACE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE WITH A 4x4. The road is very bumpy and difficult before you arrive to the lodge.

Warning number two : Bring warm clothes. Even tough the temperature is hot in the day, it can drop a lot and become very cold at night (10-12 degrees celcius).

Warning number three : Do not expect a luxury room. It is a simple room, a little bit humid and there is no hot water in the showers.

However I must say we had a great time there. The owners are very friendly, and the food was just great (some of the best typical Costa Rican food I ate). The view from the balcony is spectacular and it is fun to do some horseback riding in the area.

Overall a great quality/price if you don't need complete comfort to feel happy.
