Pochote Lodge

We had a lovely stay here! Excellent conditions, impeccably clean and still in the middle of nature. The breakfast was typical Costa Rican breakfast and very delicious. The owner is very friendly, helpful and assisted us with every need we had. The location is around 30 mins away from Rincon national park. We also saw a lot of wildlife on the property. Definitely recommend if you want to be in the nature and visit the national park!

The road was in a really bad condition (we came from Tenorio national park). The road from Liberia is way better, but in general I would recommend coming to the national park with an SUV or similar (if possible).

The hosts are exceptionally kind and welcoming, they were so happy to give advice on what the best places in Rincon de La vieja are. The breakfast they serve (for a little extra but so worth it) is a delicious Costa Rican breakfast. I will be coming back.

The breakfast was so amazing!! Totally worth getting if you have the time. The owner is really nice and funny. The bathroom was very clean and welcoming

Signs to help us with parking. We were driving in the dark and did not at all understand where to go and it felt a little dangerous at one point no room to turn around so we had to drive backwards

Beautiful location. Perfect place to relax. Owner very friendly and decent facilities for cooking as location a bit remote, with only 1 restaurant 2km away that required reservation. We were advised ahead of arrival to bring groceries. Room very comfortable and cool climate due to breeze in the area.

Unfortunately, the access route from Bagaces has a lot of potholes. Iwould advice not to take this. It is better to take the road from Liberia. That too has gravel roads in sections and a fair few potholes.

Very quite and relaxing location. Fantastic host and good breakfast.

There is no restaurant so make sure you bring your own food!

Room and grounds were very nice and Francisco and Veronica were great! Pool was very nice after hiking in the nearby park.

Roads into and out of the property were pretty rough. High winds made for a noisy night. No nearby stores and only one nearby restaurant. Very remote!

The Lodge is in a special setting, more spectacular than the photos show. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and treated us with such kindness. They gave us excellent advice and shared their expert knowledge about the flora and fauna. The accommodations are basic but clean and comfortable. The little river fed pool is a treat after a hot day of sightseeing. The grounds are beautiful and the birding is stunning. Toucans and parrots before breakfast…such a treat! I would return happily if in the area.
