“The Ultimate Jungle Experience”

Reviewed 6 January 2013

Star Mountain is clean, lush and inviting. The amenities include a delicious, nutritious breakfast, a large waterfall pool, a serene yoga platform, guided horse tours and a walking trail covering acres to explore plant and wildlife. The owners were very helpful and friendly. We especially enjoyed visiting with the other guests, sharing our Costa Rican experience.

From the incredible natural beauty of the 220 acres the lodge rests upon with breath taking 360 degree views of the Costa Rican jungle/Pacific ocean. Pictures do no justice here! The adventure is endless. We zip lined through the jungle which was priceless and... More

A nice way to end a day of hiking. Went horseback riding... More

“The location, a dream, nestled in the forest near Cabo Blanco.”

Reviewed 22 January 2012 via mobile

A truly great location if you want to be near a beautiful coast and yet apart from it in a jungle clad retreat. The owners, Andrew and Lisa, we're very friendly and interesting to talk to. There is a good walk through the forest and a beautiful garden with a small, but very nice, pool. The infrastructure in general perhaps... More

“Something Different”

Reviewed 5 December 2011

The first time I went in 2005, and I revisited this year. I have stayed in many places and hotels in great locations, with great views or with luxury amenities, but Star Mountain is one of the unforgettable places in terms of getting the true jungle experience while lounging poolside. The rooms themselves are rustic, but the landscape between the... More
