Wonderful spot!!! What a treasure. The grounds were gorgeous and the rooms were clean and cozy and spacious. They had everything we could need including a large fridge and freezer, microwave, utensils/plates, and pots to cook in. The front patio had comfy chairs to sit and enjoy the beauty. We loved the yoga class and took both the morning AND afternoon session. The breakfast was lovely too. It didn’t matter that they don’t have a restaurant on site because there were so many within walking distance. The only issue was the nightly/morning noises. The birds were singing and monkeys howling so it was an early morning wake up call. But we can’t control Mother Nature. This was one of my favorite places to stay while in Costa Rica and I only wish we could’ve stayed more nights.

We booked this place with not many expectations but were so pleased with our stay. It's super quiet, secluded, and the view from our room felt like we were up in the trees. They had free made to order breakfast and free coffee/tea in the afternoon. You can eat at the dining tables or take a seat on the patio to watch the birds and they'll take your meal to you. The lobby had binoculars, bird books, and purchasable art from a local artist. The property also had a small hiking trail that was great for an afternoon stroll to see the wildlife. Our room had a fan instead of AC but the area was surprisingly so much cooler than everywhere else that we didn't need it. The room was clean and the water pressure was great. We loved our stay here.

We were traveling with my senior mom and aunt , both have mobility issues. The beautiful gardens here allowed them to see monkeys, agouti, motmots, coati and emerald toucanettes just sitting on the balcony. Breakfast was delicious.

Cala Lodge was an amazing stay. The staff were so welcoming and lovely. Our room was tucked away, which provided the opportunity to sit out on a quiet balcony and watch trogons, motmots, flycatchers, wrens, woodcreepers, hummingbirds and toucanets fly by. Breakfast was an absolute bonus; a great start to day being served a delicious meal and watching birds a few feet away come and eat the fruit put out for them (we also had a coati visit). There is a short trail on the property with seating areas and swings that one should not miss out. The lodge itself is about a 15 minute walk from the transmonteverde bus station in Santa Elena (to/from San Jose), as well as a quick walk to the bus stop in front of the school which will take you directly to the Cloud Forest - so there is no need to rent a car.

There are plenty positive things about this place- friendly helpfull staff, rustic warm cottages in the forest, cozy breakfast room with huge forest faced terrace where you can enjoy momots and hummingbirds watching. They even have a personal trail which will surprise you with a few nice spots such as swing hanging from a tree. We just love it and I would definitely recommend Cala lodge to anyone who wants to get away from the crowd

The family suit we stayed is absolutely nice and with a beautiful view from every window. This lodge and their surrounding area looked much nicer than what looks on the picture. The breakfast was also very nice and the breakfast area is very beautiful, we saw some very pretty birds while eating breakfast. Also there are several nice restaurants within the walking distance from the property.

Our stay at Cala lodge was lovely - although we did upgrade for a small fee to a much better room with a balcony and wonderful forest view. The standard room was a bit too small and basic, but it didn’t cost much to upgrade for our second night and the staff were happy to let us do this! The views from this place are amazing and the surroundings really make it special.

Lovely stay in the cloud forest. Amazing place to stay for forest adventures and wildlife. Access was a bit tricky with our hire car though. Roads to Monteverde can be hard going without a 4 x 4.

Cala Lodge was a wonderful secluded stay in the mountains. Breakfast was lovely each morning, with omelettes made to our requests, along with fresh seasonal fruits - all while overlooking the beautiful cloud forests, viewing the occasional coatimundi, aguti, mot-mot, and other exotic animals visit the hotel garden. The forest walk in the property is also an added bonus.

The lodge was great, and everyone working there was fantastic. Breakfast was included and superb, and the view was wonderful. It felt a little cramped though, both that the room was quite small, as well as you're in a small space with a lot of other people. All of our windows were right onto the walkways, we could hear people going up and down the stairs all night and walking above us. The other amenities were great, but it was just a bit noisier than I would've liked.
