The focal point of the room is a stunning Costa Rican tropical Oak tree standing in the middle of the space and salvaged from the farm after a storm. This is a heavenly place to spend the evening. There are various fireplaces and comfortable areas to choose from and to enjoy an aperitif before dinner or to relax later.

COFFEE TIME

In Costa Rican culture, the afternoon coffee is sacred and embedded into the tico soul as a daily homage. Our guests will delight with the unique delicious smell and flavour of a Costa Rican cup of hot freshly brewed coffee. At the Lodge we have added to that tradition and included English and Herbal teas, freshly home-baked cakes and cookies. During the afternoon you are warmly invited to the Library to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and a snack, surrounded by an interesting selection of wildlife books and stunning views towards the iconic Poas Volcano National Park.
