"What a wonderful property! Guida and John were delightful hosts. I spent time watching the amazing butterflies, enjoying the sunrises, or heading in to Atenas for lunches or ice cream. The views are fabulous. I thoroughly enjoyed my quiet time here."

Just stayed here one night before flight out next morning. Seems pleasant, wish we could have enjoyed the pool.
Had dinner and breakfast . Dinner was good, a little pricier than we found at most other restaurants in CR. Breakfast was included, few selections of some meats, scrambled eggs, fruit, toast and juices and coffee and teas.

Everything was unique about the property. The animals, the pool, the rooms and common areas. Absolutely amazing and phenomenal. The drive to get there gets steep but once you have arrived, breathtaking.

Great experience ! Dave ,Marsha, Elezar and the staff went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable ,and everything was taken care of. They arranged a tour,massage, taxi service, meal delivery, and were always there with any questions I had.
Fresh breakfasts using local ingredients were delicious. I had a nice room near the pool and hot tub,which were always clean and available. Very nice landscaping with palm trees ,flowers,and plants. Being next to the canyon is nice, the property...

I was a little worried during the taxi ride to the hotel that I had made a terrible mistake in picking the hotel as some of the areas look a little rough (by American standards), however, once at the gated hotel I realized that I indeed had made a good choice when choosing the location as the property is incredibly calming and beautiful. Just know that since you are out of the city you will need to use Uber eat or a taxi to get food as there is no onsite restaurant.

We had a wonderful Christmas week at Canal Grande Lodge! Raffael and his staff were excellent hosts who made sure we had everything we needed. The small hotel was quiet and beautifully situated. You could walk to restaurants and a few small local stores. We enjoyed Santa Margaritas down the street on 2 nights of our stay. If you know this is a small, local property that’s comfortably lived in and you don’t expect a palace for your shoestring budget, you’ll be very happily surprised by this...

We stayed here last year on our trip to Costa Rica. Last year, the young woman who works the front desk was extremely helpful to us, so we came back this year. This woman helped us get our backpack back that we accidentally left in a hotel in Manual Antonio, making numerous phone calls back and forth, ultimately arranging to have the bag delivered to another hotel near the airport in San Jose. She even used her own personal phone, and was as nice as she could be in lieu of the fact I was...

The hotel was right next to the airport which was great for our late arrival and early departure from Costa Rica. We arrived at 9:30pm and were able to check in and get a good night rest after our flight. We enjoyed the great breakfast in the morning before heading out. After exploring the country we came back for our second night here. We were able to walk to a restaurant nearby for our last dinner. Our flight was early in morning and we check out at 4:30am.

We loved everything about this hotel and we are so happy we chose to stay here. The hotel was very clean; we would come in and our room would smell and look amazing. The food options at the restaurant were excellent (we tried all the local dishes and local juices/milkshakes). We felt that the location was perfect- we liked the fact that the airport shuttle was easily accessible; we felt safe walking around the area; and the best part was having a Walmart so close (walking distance) for snacks...
