“Modern hotel with great views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2013

We stayed at this hotel in march 2013. The hotel grounds are spacious and the separate building where the rooms are is surrounded by a nice garden and green fields. The rooms are spacious and modern. There is a small kitchen and fridge. The bed is good and the views from the many windows of our room were like small... More

“Cooling down on a tropical alp.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013

Enchanting scenery, very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. After the moist (or dry) and hot climatological places another change, cool and dry. Great place for dayvisits to Poas vulcano or waterfal park. Fairly close to the airport. Also an excellent place to overthink a great holliday beside a nice campfire. Room are as bug free as it can possibly get in... More

“Worst hotel ever.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2013

The worst hotel on our 14 days trip in Costa Rica. We stayed in 14 different 4 stars hotels and this one was the worst. The stuff is extremely unfriendly (we haven’t felt welcomed here that is for sure). The room is very basic, and not clean at all (I had to clean the windows, which you can’t open, to... More

Dear costumer, Altura Hotel truly regrets your unpleasent experience at our hotel, non the less feels obligated to share certain points worth mentioning. For example the incovinients you seem to have experienced were taken care of immediately, even changing room for your convenience, but you have to keep in mind that we are located in the mountain surrounded by wilderness,...

This place is a bit hard to find, but if you plan to visit Poas Volcano, stay here, nowhere else. We stayed in the suite and it was magnificent and very reasonable in price. The view was priceless.

“Beautiful and welcoming!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2013

Altura Hotel was our first experience of Costa Rica, and our only disappointment was having to leave it. The suite was absolutely beautiful - glass enclosed double room in the middle of the lush greenery on the mountainside. Amazing views from inside and out. Great vista point to see the whole valley and lots of flora, fauna, and wildlife all... More

“Beautiful view, peaceful atmosphere”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2013 via mobile

We spend two nights at this beautiful mountain home surrounded by agricultural farms and magnificent view of San Jose valley. The rooms were very convenient, easily accommodate family of five persons. Breakfast was very tasty, either the traditional Costa Rican breakfast or the kids pancake breakfast. A perfect place to begin/end your Costa Rica vacation.

This is not a hotel as we would think of it in the US. It is a family run bed and breakfast inn on a dairy farm, near to Poas Volcano and La Paz Gardens Waterfalls. The rooms are comfortable, well furnished and equipped, clean, and perfectly maintained. The breakfast is wonderful. The grounds and the setting are beautiful. Walk... More

“Amazing Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2013

A boutique hotel with a great style: On the inside- top class interior design. On the outside- beautiful and peaceful "farm feeling" on the mountain. The hosts are helpful and the breakfast is good. This is the best hotel we visited in Costa Rica! Don't miss it! Eyal & Chen, Israel.
