"We very much enjoyed our stay and will return. The natural beauty of this location is unmatched!"

"If you have the chance to stay in the Poas region this is an amazing hotel to spend a couple of nights at. A comforting blend of Welsh country farmhouse and Frank Lloyd Wright architecture this is a place of rest and relaxation nestled into its surroundings. Curl up with your favourite book in the glass walled library with a tiny woodburner giving a cosy warm glow, add a glass of red wine and you will feel like you are welcomed into an English country house or head down to the pool table and games room after dinner. Friendly welcoming staff, lovely dinners (very reasonable pricing) means that everything is provided on site. We were only there for 2 nights and didn;t get to try the walking trails. The only improvement we could suggest would be a fridge in the rooms."

"This place is exotic! 6 of us stayed here with plenty of space. The first day some of our group was ill and so we stayed in most of the day. It still felt like an exotic vacation. The views of the jungle, the wild life, and the plants are amazing on this property. We loved how much character the property and house has! The beds were so comfortable. The house had everything we needed. Gloria was so responsive and helpful. There is so much to do once we left the property. The neighbors are so nice! The local places to eat and close grocery stores were perfect. This place is next level! Our family travels often and I would recommend this place to everyone! Price was perfect! "

"El Silencio Lodge & Spa is an excellent retreat for a solo traveler. 5 star treatment across the board. The staff were welcoming and helpful. They took care of my every need. This property offered everything from food, drinks, spa, outdoor experiences, complimentary amenities and wellness activities all on-site. I felt safe and secure in this luxury environment that far exceeded my expectations. Best foodie experience ever!"

"Beautiful hotel and grounds, fabulous room! Restaurant service wasn't fast but food was good. Lovely hiking trails, I even saw toucans! Only downside was the spa was closed for maintenance and we planned a day in the spa. They did offer in room massage which was lovely "

"We stayed here for only two nights for my birthday, as we wanted to splurge a bit. This is a gorgeous, very well manicured 5-star resort. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a higher level room for my birthday, so that front desk staff knew how to make an impression. The room was crazy amazing fabulous. Look at their website pics as they are very accurate. Expedia includes two tours when booking, so we got a fabulous night frog tour, and a half-day personalized tour of their wildlife sanctuary - Guide MICHAEL WAS AWESOME. We also participated in the butterfly release, which we will remember forever! The downside was the dinner restaurant (only one). The menu was super Americanized, and they were out of the one local fish! The first night took forever to get served, and they brought our appetizer, salad, and main dish all at once. The second night was my birthday, and although the server offered me a free dessert for my birthday, when they brought it, there was no candle, no offer to sing, no extra decoration on the plate, and no wishing me a happy birthday. I'm a little surprised by this as it was contrary to the front desk staff. Hey, Lee Banks, please train your restaurant staff to make a bigger deal of of birthdays. Also, put some more Costa Rican items on the menu! The food was VERY good for both breakfast (not included) and dinner, and beautifully plated. If you don't mind the price, don't miss this beautiful property, and ask for Michael as your guide! "

"Absolutely beautiful property. Stunning views from pretty much every room. Our room has the mountain view. Breathtaking. Pool was small but perfect size since the hotel wasn't packed. Food was excellent! Room service excellent! Staff was excellent! Loved this place! "

"Matt went above and beyond to not only make sure we had transportation from the airport to the hotel but he set us up with transportation to where we needed to go the next day. Seriously made my stay allllll that much more enjoyable and smooth sailing. Seriously couldn’t thank them enough. Even his kids are well mannered and helpful! Great family, and family business they have! "

"Located in the heart of mountains, very well maintained property and staff went above and beyond to provide services. Very peaceful and quiet place to enjoy the nature "
