Place is beautiful with nice areas to hang around, lovely rooms, nice breakfast, great service. Needs some maintenance and hot water to shower is very limited
Melissa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very 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 !

Great Location and Staff

We went to see the volcano, but it was closed. The staff were very nice and friendly, including offering alternative places to visit. The grounds were well kept and the views were grand. The rooms were nice and reasonably comfortable. One issue, which for some may be positive or negative is the rooster and mule making a racket at 4:00 in the morning. The hot/cold water was so finicky thst you ran the risk of being frozen or scalded. The breakfast was mediocre and the coffee was the worst we had in our two weeks in Costa Rica. It was a nice benefit of staying, but this is Costa Rica, great coffee is a must. I would recommend the Altura Hotel, especially due to the staff.
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Altura Hotel is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of Costa Rica’s stunning landscape! The breathtaking views, cozy accommodations, and impeccable hospitality create a perfect haven for relaxation and adventure. Every detail is thoughtfully designed, from the delicious breakfast to the charming decor, making the experience truly unforgettable. Highly recommend staying here for a memorable and serene getaway!

Katya Yesenia Torres, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property overlooking San Jose, close to Poas volcano. Property is a bit primitive...sort of between glamping and a traditional hotel...gets cold at night. Space heaters provided but bring warm pj's and socks. Breakfast was great. If you want a luxury get away, this is not it. If you are looking for something unique, quiet, on a beautiful property and don't mind foregoing some luxury's, this is a great choice....also loved the cows and a donkey next door and a couple of nice dogs wandering the property...saw some wildlife too.

One of the most magical places in CR. Feels like a unique home away from home
