Located in the mountains very close to La Poas. Very fun quirky setting. Nice and quiet overlooking the city. Great typical Costa Rican breakfast included.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast in the morning was fabulous. My partner and I really loved the tub. The shower was very nice, good water pressure and never ran out of hot water filling the giant tub and taking hot showers. It was a very unique property which was beautiful to walk around and interact with the dogs and other animals on the property.
Loved our family tent! Was so cozy and cute. The gentleman that check us in was so sweet and helpful. Highly recommend for a beautiful, unique place to stay!
We stayed in a shipping container! It wasn't a real room. It was cold. They provided us with 2 noisy space heaters that didn't heat enough. Sheets and blankets felt itchy. We couldn't sleep much. Staff was nice. Location and view were amazing. Breakfast was excellent. I don't recommend to stay there if you are hoping for a nice comfortable stay.
Romiro was great helping us out with a walkthrough of the property. Amazing location, great views from the room and from the lush green lawns next to the reception. Jacuzzi was great add on with great views.
This was a great hotel, incredible views and comfortable room. Staff were friendly, will definitely want to visit and stay here again. Loved the breakfast in the morning.
Altura Hotel is an absolute gem nestled in the heart of Costa Rica’s stunning landscape! The breathtaking views, cozy accommodations, and impeccable hospitality create a perfect haven for relaxation and adventure. Every detail is thoughtfully designed, from the delicious breakfast to the charming decor, making the experience truly unforgettable. Highly recommend staying here for a memorable and serene getaway!
Interesting and attractive multi- storey architecture. Gorgeous gardens and view over the valley. Conveniently situated if you want to visit Poss Volcano or La Paz.
Place is beautiful with nice areas to hang around, lovely rooms, nice breakfast, great service. Needs some maintenance and hot water to shower is very limited
The place is magical, everything bloomed and was clean, the staff is pleasant. There are animals and the breakfast is fresh and good. I will recommend that place
