Staying at Santa Maria Volcano Lodge was one of the warmest and most memorable experiences of my trip. From the start, it felt like staying with extended family rather than at a lodge—the owner and staff were incredibly kind and attentive. On my first night I arrived very late, and they still kept my dinner ready, reheated it, and served it with such care that it set a wonderful tone for the rest of my stay. The lodge is very clean and well maintained, and my cottage was comfortably sized and cozy. The food was excellent for both breakfast and dinner whenever I ate there. The property is set in lush rainforest, with beautiful greenery and many kinds of birds visible right around the cottage, which made each morning special. The lodge is within a reasonable driving distance to nearby facilities and attractions. The last stretch of road—about six to seven miles—is a bit bumpy, but with a decent car it is manageable and absolutely worth it for the peaceful, natural setting and exceptional hospitality. Overall, I had an awesome stay and would highly recommend Santa Maria Volcano Lodge to anyone who wants to enjoy nature and truly heartfelt hospitality.

Absolutely loved the property! Had amazing menu items for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My cabin was super cute and clean. It was so quiet that all I heard while lying in bed were howler monkeys, birds and tree frogs. The staff was so helpful and knew me by name. They even made me a sandwich for a hike I was going on for the day! Horseback riding was a blast and was reasonably priced. Wifi in the common area worked great. My only suggestions would be Wifi in the cabins and hot water but those are extremely minor details for me. The road was a bit rough to get there but that's just Costa Rica. Absolutely would highly recommend this property 100%. It was exactly what I needed, a break from everything!

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.

Services and the staff are exceptional. We ate breakfast and dinner for two days and loved the food! Thank you Yocky! If you want to stay at a place that feels close to nature, this is it. We saw many birds from our glass-walled cabin. An ant highway ran right outside our door!

What a beautiful place and the owners and staff is so kind and makes you feel so welcome. The cabins are very nice, food is delicious and the setting is absolutely gorgeous. I wish my time here could have been longer as there is so much more to explore. I hope to bring my kids here soon.

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.

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 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!!

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!
