Holiday Homes in Barranca

"If you are visiting for your first time to Costa Rica this is not the place. When we checked in at midnight we walked to our room, that was farthest from front desk, and the keys did not work. Had to walk back to get keys that worked then the door latch on the inside caught so we had to Jimmy it open. The rooms were not well maintained and the doors did not seal so bugs would crawl in the room and we would have to kill at least 5 bugs a day. The shower only had hot water so could not adjust the water temperature. The staff was not helpful at all and no one seemed to really know what was going on. No instructions were given to us that we had to make a reservation to use the restaurants for dinner. We went to have dinner the first night and only 1/3 of the tables were full. They would not seat us simply bc we did not have a reservation. There were only 2 of us. We paid for the premium to be able to eat at the restaurants. We tried to make reservations the next day and got declined on the app. Went to the front desk and had to wait then found out to make reservations we had to talk to someone else the front desk could not help. They had plenty of open times so there was no reason for it to have been denied when we tried on the app we were told to use. It seems more like a local vacation spot not for visitors from other countries. You get what you pay for here. Worth spending the extra money for a better experience. The views were great."

"The included breakfast was delicious except for: 1. The orange juice that had an artificial flavour 2. The "natural" beverages from the machine that were sugary"

"There are no amenities in this property. No on site staff, dining area, or pool area."

"Second visit to Hotel Cerro Lodge and it was as magical as the first visit. If you love nature and birds and don't mind a bit of rustic, this is the place for you. The huge, covered patio overlooking the forest is so comfortable. I've done my work job from that patio both visits and just relaxed with my camera at the ready, waiting for the birds, or iguanas, or monkeys, or any number of other creatures to appear. Huge shout out to Jessica, Jeremy, and Erica who served us well at reception and during breakfast and dinner. Speaking of breakfast/dinner, wow do they have a couple of talented chefs in their kitchen. Highly recommend the Ragu pasta in meat sauce. Favorite dish of the trip and it is served in a freshly baked, warm, and yummy bread bowl. Very easy to access from San Jose and lots to do in the area."

"It was perfect "

"The hotel is really quiet and clean. The breakfast is delicious. The beds are super comfortable. It's a very convenient location between San Jose and places like Jaco. "

"Pool was very enjoyable "

"La experiencia que tuvimos fue 10/10. El personal amistoso, siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Las instalaciones limpias, en perfecto estado. Tiene una ventaja enorme, está a 2 min del embarcadero del ferry. Recomendado 100%"

"Kitchen and apartment fully equipped. The check-in process seemed a little unusual with the website, but was easy to understand "
