The owner and staff were exceptional! If you are staying anywhere near Turrialba, you should give this hotel your business. We came for a friend’s wedding (someone who grew up in Costa Rica) and we all agreed that this was the best hotel we had stayed at in a long time. A delicious/all inclusive/unique/home cooked breakfast every day (you will not get that anywhere else!), a flexible and attentive owner and staff, an absolutely gorgeous property, and so many happy and friendly dogs and wildlife that you will fall in love with! The owner gave us a little tour of the property and brought us to the cattle barn to explain his work to us, and we had such an enjoyable time just walking around and talking with him. There is so much privacy, and the cabins are lovely. The service is wonderful, and we felt compelled to write honest and heartfelt reviews for this relatively new hotel because of how much fun and wonderful memories we had and made here. If you’re considering visiting Turrialba at any time of year, there is no need to stay in the city! Take a cheap 5 minute taxi and stay in this beautiful and affordable lodge- you will get a comfortable, more authentic experience, and you will be patronizing a local hotel that more than deserves to be booked solid for the entire year. We will come back to Vista Turrialba as soon as possible!! -Mostly to visit Draco and Socio, the best dogs in the world :)

Nothing! We had a great time!

Beautiful garden, peaceful surroundings especially during the day with sightings of colorful tropical birds daily. Wonderful,kind & awesome host. Went above & beyond his duty. We love the different hut & sitting areas & read in a beautiful park like setting surrounded with lots of foliage & tropical plants & flowers.Fresh fruits, juice,coffee & tasty breakfast was a plus. Enjoyed the greetings of his friendly dogs & cat Leo daily. Pura Vida! We will return again , we really had an awesome stay here...

Barking of dogs intermittently at night & early mornings from around neighborhood dogs. Not referring to the dogs in this lodge, they are friendly &peaceful pets.

The location is really good!,and the facilities are very nice,the view from the cabin is exceptional. We had the chance to get to know the owners,such a nice couple.

The place is located 500m away from the main road,the road is pavement for a short tram,is not in a very bad shape,but if you are going in a car other than a SUV or similar just be careful, otherwise you could get some damage in rings, bumpers and other lower parts.

Gorgeous, peaceful location in mountains, amidst lovely little homes and farms. Beautiful gardens and surrounding areas to walk around. Very friendly, helpful host. Good breakfast and access to some great local restaurants.

IF I had seen email from Booking.com that morning, telling me we were canceled, it would have been terrible, as we would have gone somewhere else. But we arrived and the owners were able to accommodate us.

We loved the friendliness of the owners, our interaction with the various friendly dogs on the property specifically Draco! All the cabins felt cozy and reminded me fondly of the cabins I stayed in as a kid in the USA.

My entire trip was amazing there really wasn’t anything for me to complain about.

This is a rustic place full of nature. It's on the mountains, so it is a bit colder than Turrialba. But we loved that. The view is beautiful. We were able to see toucans and other really nice birds. The breakfast was delicious. We would certainly come back here again

We stayed for a couple of days to enjoy the wonderful Turrialba, San Rafael, Santa Cruz and San Antonio, it's a great small hotel with beautiful gardens and Luis was a fabulous host, providing excellent tips on activities that we could do in the area. We had a really good time, did some hiking, bird watching, waterfalls... would love to come back.

This is a nice family-run hotel, with rustic cabins set in nice gardens. There is a lovely view of the Turrialba valley. The cabins are basic, but clean and well cared for. The family running the cabins are very friendly and helpful.

I would recommend getting the stand-alone cabins, rather than adjoining rooms, as there is no insulation between rooms and you can hear everything that happens in the next room.

Great location to enjoy beautiful views of the green surroundings, close to turrialba park for some hiking, lovely owner who tries to accommodate your wishes - he even ordered dinner in for us an got it from the restaurant as it was raining (thanks again :)), breakfast is lovely!

We wished to stay longer. Our place was beautifully decorated, with kitchen, living room, balcony and extra bedroom! Gardens are most beautiful I’ve seen! We spend few hours just watching remarkable birds, the view was amazing and breakfast just outstanding! Thank you!
