Mila

Liked: Cleanliness
The location was nice. However, our Expedia reservation stated that the check in time was 2:00 pm. We were taken to the stool, which was not ready. It was a rainy and cold day, and we waited in a hotel library. It took 1 hour and 40 minutes to get our room ready. We asked for a swarm drink, perhaps, as a courtesy for the inconvenience and were given hot chocolate. There was no apology, the receptionist left and on top of that, they charged us for our “courtesy “ drink! It was lack of concern and lack of customer service that was very disappointing.

Thomas

Disliked: Staff & service
My reservation details (name, phone number, dates of stay, amount due, etc.) were leaked before my stay and were used by scammers to send genuine-looking booking and payment messages using accurate information related to this hotel. The hotel acknowledged this serious security incident, yet I have received no further response and no attempt at resolution. This lack of action is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about the hotel’s data protection practices. I would advise future guests to be cautious and consider whether this is the right accommodation for them.

My booking said I had the room for 4 adults and I was charged additional guest fee but the room and one king bed and one twin. Not sure how this was a 4 adult room. Expedia booking was misleading and I paid extra money for nothing! Hoping that Expedia will address the issue by providing a refund

The Poas Volcano Lodge is a magnificent piece of architecture. The rooms are huge, the beds and other furnishings are all top quality, and the woodwork is very impressive. The common areas are grand and inviting, the grounds are verdant with a few impressive sculptures. The off-season rates are very reasonable. We loved it! The one area that has room for improvement is the restaurant. Although the staff was very friendly, the meals were average at best. There seemed to be poor communication between the front desk and the restaurant staff regarding pre-ordered breakfast.
