Wonderful two night stay. Hidden in the hills of San Mateo this is a lovely boutique hotel. The grounds are immaculate with a small pool and a cute playground for children. Our room was beautifully designed, well furnished with a small balcony to sit and enjoy the early morning or evening. The bathroom was large and included all the amenities of a top rated hotel. Breakfast was lovely and their morning coffee excellent. They have a restaurant but we did not eat there. Great location for a day trip to Jaco and the costal area or a stop on the way to La Fortuna. Enjoy. You won’t be disappointed.

Poza Blanca Lodge is lovely. It's a small, boutique hotel located in beautiful gardens next to a river. My extended family and I stayed in Poza Blanca the first night we arrived in CR. We usually stay close to the airport the first evening, but we decided to go for something different this time. I am so glad that we did. Service is nice. Beds are good. Restaurant is tasty. Location is beautiful and serene. And the AC and wifi are definite pluses. I wish we had stayed more than one night at Poza Blanca - next time we will stay longer. It's too beautiful and relaxing not to.

We spent our first night here after a long day of travel. Ate dinner at the Italian style restaurant, and had a typical breakfast in the morning. Welcoming staff, clean, with comfortable beds. Enjoyed walking around the property in the morning. Good place for a first night stay if you are heading to the central or southern beach areas. Less than an hour from the airport, and nearby grocery stores to stock up.

The rooms are lovely and the food in the little restaurant is first rate for Costa Rica. Very nice grounds, They need to work out the gate (we tried to leave for an early morning birdwatching trip and the place was locked up and we could knock it out, it was resolved 10 minutes later but they need some systems) and also check in is a little clunky as there is really no main reception desk but it all works but it’s a little casual

Lovely hotel with spacious rooms and nice beds. Small pool and a jacuzzi. A playground, playfield and a trampoline for the kids. And just a small walk to the river, where you can swim and give yourself a skin treatment with white clay. Everything was clean, food was good, staff friendly. Really recommend this place. Friendly and helpfull manager (with a lovely daughter, Valentina!). Definitely recommend this place, hope we can come back soon!

Our quick one night stay at Hotel Boutique Poza Blanca was really nice. We arrived in the afternoon and they were able to get us settled in a little early and help us arrange transportation to our evening destination. We had a great conversation with the daughter of the owners. They check temperatures on arrival to the property and get you directed to the right place. We were in Room #10 which is down a long flight of stairs however the reward is being basically on the river with a great patio for quiet relaxation and some bird watching. When we returned from our evening the place was jumping! The restaurant and bar were full and people seemed to be having a great time. We were tired though and went straight to our quiet bed. Breakfast is included and our desayuno tipico (typical breakfast of Gallo Pinto, Egg, Plantain, Cheese) was delicious! The staff is friendly and gracious (and did carry our bags down and back up the stairs). We’d love to return and stay longer in the future.…
