Fernando the host is a treasure. He is polite, a real gentleman, but upon request loads us with abundant information on all of our Costa Rica holiday plans. Silent neighborhood. Tastefully decorated rooms. Good breakfast. Can just recommend, 10 of 10 points.

There were lots of warm blankets and some firewood to help keep warm.

Beautiful view from the cabin, well maintained garden, kind owner, good breakfast.

super clean, great communication with staff and fantastic location

The Jardine Secretos Lodge is a spectacular lodge tucked away in the mountains and close to the Cloudbridge Nature Reserve. The room we had was the original owners house, all wood interior, 2 bedrooms, an a terrific porch with rocking chairs and a great view of the landscaping. It was a very charming house, the lodge even had a bottle of complimentary wine waiting for us. The Lodge had a very eclectic dining area, wonderful lighting and decorations for the Christmas holiday (or appropriately decorated for the next holiday), and the property was designed and built making a truly wonderful landscape and facilities. The secret garden walk was especially impressive, the amount of work and love that went into making this walking garden tour was nothing but magical for the variety and number of plants in the design. All right on the property too. The staff was extremely friendly and informative of their lodge and advice on the local attractions.

Our expectations were quite high, and the reality was even better! The lodge is perfectly located and spread in the middle of cloud forest. You get your private villa, each has its own privacy and fabulous views through the ceiling-to-floor windows. Yes, it is a bit of walk from the reception area, but that is the main magic there - the seclusion and privacy. I read here lots of negative reviews about the black bathrooms. I don’t understand why it is issue for you? And off course you are in the middle of a cloud forest where the humidity reaches 100%. I am sure that the staff is doing their best, but sometimes a bit of mould can appear (we did not notice it, but again it was mentioned in a review before). All facilities in the bathroom worked perfectly including hot water, so we had no problems. We very much appreciated that this resort is doing maximum to be eco friendly. They have their own special concept. You should take it as a Eco-lodge rather than classic resort. They also provide really great conditioner which helped a lot with my sun-damaged hair :-) Breakfast is a la carte and is very tasty. One morning we even ordered 1 extra portion and resort did not charge us for it. The onsite restaurant is opened for lunch and dinner (we didn’t try it). Within few minutes walk from the resort, there are 2 local restaurants + minimarket. Miriam’s restaurant is a must! We booked both arrival and departure transfers via Dantica and both worked perfectly. Driver was ontime and journey was smooth. We also booked the Quetzal tour via Dantica and it was well organized (for us, it was a bit of mass tourism, around 30 people chasing 4 quetzal birds, but we would never see these beautiful birds without the guide, so it was worth it). Every member of the staff were very nice to us and helpful, it was a real pleasure to stay there. It is one of a kind experience. Don’t hesitate to book this wonderful place.

Out of town but very quiet with beautiful views. Warm pool. Friendly staff. Coffee and tea 24/7. Only stayed for 1 night but it was a perfect start of our holiday. Costa Rican breakfast freshly prepared and lovely. Would always come back.

Decent rooms, good location, friendly staff

Very cosy hostal with nice lounge area, library, spacious kitchen where you can use all the equipment and even free fruit/vegetables/coffee. They have a lush garden with access to the river. There are nice restaurants on walking distance.

The apartment was beautiful, modern, and spotless, with an amazing view from the 12th floor. Everything matched the description, and the location was great. The host was friendly and responsive. I would definitely stay here again!
