Find your place to stay
Guayabo Lodge offers a distinctive Costa Rican experience nestled in the mountains of Turrialba, providing a compelling alternative to typical beach-and-jungle itineraries. Guests can delve into ancient indigenous history at the nearby Guayabo National Monument and explore the surrounding rainforest through nature walks, birdwatching, and hiking. The lodge features cozy, sustainably-minded accommodations, a restaurant serving local flavors with panoramic views, and serene spaces for relaxation amidst lush gardens. It's an ideal choice for those seeking mountain scenery, cultural exploration, and natural discovery.
The mountains of Turrialba give Guayabo Lodge a setting that invites you to look beyond the familiar beach-and-jungle route. Nearby Guayabo National Monument adds a cultural dimension, while lush gardens and the surrounding landscape make a slower day at the lodge appealing in its own right. Choose it when mountain scenery, nature and a little historical curiosity all belong in your Costa Rica plans.
Guided visits to the monument introduce the ancient indigenous civilization that once lived in the area. Nature walks, birdwatching and hiking then turn attention to the surrounding rainforest. You can give both sides of Turrialba room in the itinerary, with a day of cultural exploration followed by another spent looking more closely at plants, birds and the trails.
Cozy rooms bring rustic touches and modern comforts together, with some looking toward the mountains and Turrialba Valley. Confirm a view room if that outlook matters to your stay. Renewable energy and sustainability initiatives are part of the lodge’s ecological approach, while gardens around the property make the return from an outing feel connected to the landscape you came to explore.
At the restaurant, locally sourced ingredients, including fresh fruits and vegetables, bring Costa Rican flavors to meals accompanied by panoramic views. Afterward, the lounge and outdoor seating offer places to read or pause, with massage service as another option to arrange. Leave an afternoon with a little breathing room: a meal, time among the gardens and the quieter pleasures of a mountain lodge are worth enjoying alongside the excursions.

Everything was excellent. But because it was weekend and the place seemed full, although we were on the top floor, there was a fair bit of noise from people walking around, talking, music and banging doors (they should put some dampers on the doors, which are really hard to close without making a noise). Also, they really need to improve their access road. Other than that, a very nice facility with great views, beautiful grounds and reasonably priced.
