Wonderful

Excellent breakfast, very nice staff, comfortable beds, beautiful property and you can see butterflies and birds while you eat! Also surprisingly high quality beauty products and overall eco-friendly place. Great deal of a hotel! Not fancy but very cozy and felt like home. Loved it
Cala Lodge is in a beautiful natural setting, relatively quiet but within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The lodge has a helpful staff, high sustainability ratings (Blue Flag and Green Leaf) and contributes to the local community. Excellent breakfast included in rates. Some of the smaller rooms are less comfortable, but all are clean and well provisioned. We will definitely come back.
Tucked away property with beautiful views and small trails around their property. We saw birds and wildlife. Super friendly and helpful staff. Room was small and simple but clean.
Very helpful with information at check-in, booked a night tour for us. Great room with balcony to listen to rain, birds, howlers while staying dry & relaxing. Walkable area to restaurants & a trail on property for bird watching.
We loved our stay at Cala Lodge! The staff went out of their way for us and gave us good information on many questions about the area. They even set up a birding guide for us; Roy Porras was excellent, top notch! We saw so many great birds from our deck and the breakfast area!!! We would definitely visit their again and I highly recommend Cala Lodge!!!

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
1. Beautiful surroundings
2. “Suites” are actually 4 small apartments in one building. Family next door with little kids up at 6:30, and they are in the next room. Not their fault, but no insulation so super loud.
3. Not enough parking so we returned from dinner in the pouring rain to find our parking spot gone
4. Looked forward to tea and cake from 3-5, but the cake was gone upon our arrival at 3:45 and never replenished.
5. Most expensive place we stayed and felt like the cheapest.
6. Great atv tour
This is a simple and cute property in Monteverde, not far from the town (as long as you have a car). The staff is very friendly and helped us book all of our tours. The breakfast was also excellent.
Our favorite part about the property were the animals we saw. Toucanets, hummingbirds, and lots of other small birds and mammals were roaming around - what a treat!
We absolutely loved this hotel.
The staff were lovely.
The view from.our room was great. We saw coati right from the balcony jumping in the trees. Lots of hummingbirds and aguti.
They have a trail through the property.
The breakfast is wonderful!! So much food.
They also do tea/coffee and cake from 3-5.
There are a number of restaurants within 5 min walk (try Alissons). The main town was about 20 mins walk away.
I would book here again and I recommend it.
Absolutely beautiful location. Our room was facing the cloud forest and it’s just breathtaking. The property is beautifully maintained. We loved our stay here and I wish we had more days in Monte verde.

Great location, delicious breakfast, beautiful views
Great beautiful property. Breakfast is the best part of this property. Option for vegetarian people as well! No AC but there is a fan and cooler in the room. And the location is chilly typically that you don’t need AC. You can open windows if you would like. Must stay for those looking for cheap convenient yet beautiful place to stay.
Being in our room here almost felt like being in an upscale cabin or treehouse! It was very quiet and peaceful. There were thunderstorms at night and I loved listening to them while lying in bed. The bathroom was extremely nice with good soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion. There is a lovely trail at the back of the property.
The service was amazing. The staff was very helpful with our needs. The food was freshly made and it was delicious! There have a small area by the hotel where you can walk and see wildlife. We were able to see monkeys within close proximity from the main lobby.
Great, friendly staff. Beautiful grounds, including their own nature trail. Great view of surrounding mountains and calories from an expansive balcony that is used for the breakfast area as well as for lounging. It overlooks a small garden where you are guaranteed to see lots of hummingbirds. The furnishings are a bit old but everything is clean and tidy. Our room had its own private balcony.
