    Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns.

    Good roads but narrow as usual thru towns. Different landscape with the farms and greenhouses and coffee plantations in rolling hills. Waterfalls. Loved the drifting clouds coming up the valleys in the evening. Cool evenings and warm days.

    We went to La Paz Waterfall gardens and it was an amazing place. You could easily spend an entire day there. Also the area is known for strawberries. We bought some from a roadside stand and they were delicious.

    This was a great stopping place for us and is close to La Paz, Poas Volcano, and Doka Coffee Plantation. We stayed here after visiting La Paz Waterfall Gardens (which is worth the cost to visit), and then just had a short drive to Poas the following morning. We only stayed one night, and didn't get to visit the town, but its location is perfect for a stopover while visiting the nearby sites.

    The villas were adorable!

    The villas were adorable! We loved our short stay but the wifi would not let us let our families know we had arrived safely. If you plan to leave early to travel more, the check out time is 9 am- not 7am! The staff member who spoke English was very kind and accommodating!

    Very pleasant highland area stay base with short distances with private car to Poas volcano and La Paz waterfall area. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, some king of personal touch brought to mind old-style country villas in Eastern or Southern Africa - very easy to feel home. Very good birding opportunities on the hotel ground, around the hotel and on the trails. We were sad to leave the place after two nights - it would have been so nice to stay longer.

    Tiquicia Lodge is beautiful and an amazing value for what you experience. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, the rooms are spacious with beautiful views and the food was amazing. The grounds even have a short hiking trail that takes you to a beautiful, small waterfall. Would definitely recommend staying here -- especially if you're heading to La Paz or heading towards La Fortuna.

    We came to the lodge right from the airport (less than hour drive). The hotel is very nicely decorated with a homey feeling. The lounge is really nice and even has a small fireplace (it can get cold at night). The guy at reception was very nice and helpful and helped us with the national park reservation. There is also a beautiful trail in the hotel’s area - it is very recommended.

    The room was very nice and spacious (2 jacuzzis and a fireplace!) and it was a really nice experience to be inside the park and enjoy it at different times. The hotel is very nice and well located to visit the Poas Volcano (less than half an hour). We also had the chance to feed tucans, sloths and hummingbirds, which was the most amazing experience.

    This hotel is a heaven on earth. I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area. The rooms are spacious and quite. Breakfast was great but you should also try their dinner menu - everything we tried was delicious. There are many areas in the property where you can enjoy the views and nature. Try their own walking trails on the property!

    Lovely location, with trails around the property. Independent family run hotel. For warmer days there were outdoor facilities (BBQ grill, swimming pool, games). Onsite restaurant was open for dinner and again for breakfast. There was also a fridge in reception with water/soft drinks/milk/snacks for purchase.

    It’s a beautiful place on the hill. It’s very close to La Paz garden. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast was tasty. The dining area was very nice. The cabinet was cute and cozy with privacy. And you can park your car in front of the cabin.
