Lodges in La Ese

Katie United Kingdom

This place is amazing!! . When we arrived, earlier than check-in, we were encouraged to sit in the restaurant whilst they checked it was ready. It's a place you can go to for nice food, or just drinks - either way, it's well worth it. There's an inside seating area, but there is also a balcony that looks over their well maintained gardens. They have bird feeders in the garden that you see an array of birds (most excited by the motmot) and other animals (squirrel, coati, tayra!), and feeders above the balcony for the stunning hummingbird. It also has a great mountainous view, being so high up. You could sit for hours!! We walked the pretty steep slope down to our accommodation, which was one of 6 small chalet type, spacious apartments. The shower had hot water, and there were blankets on the bed (which were needed as it gets chilly in the night). They were super clean and pretty too, also with a lovely view. Parking was available. They have trails you can walk - into woodland and forest. There are zip lines that you can pay to go along to. The paths are well maintained and it's not necessary to wear trainers. I would recommend having dinner on the restaurant - I'm not sure there is anything else around - and they had a good selection of food and drink. Staff couldn't be more helpful, they were amazing!! They organised bus tickets and even called the company to make sure they stopped for us. They weren't above and beyond (especially when the first bus didn't stop) to sort everything out. I couldn't thank them enough truly super! We wanted to break up the long journey from Golfito (South-West) to San Jose. We got a bus to San Isidro and was advised (by the bus ticketer) to get a taxi the rest of the 20 minute journey.
