Sangregado Lodge

8/10 Good
"Though the balcony provides you with a beautiful view, it is a very excluded property where you must drive uphill towards (especially difficult at night). Convenient as it was right across from mistico hanging bridges, but still a drive away to other attractions in la fortuna. The rooms had quite a bit of insects (mostly lizards and ants), and if you wanted to talk to the reception you had to walk there as there were no phones in the room. You also had to drive to breakfast as it was located at a different hotel. There was no restaurant on site, no gym and no pool. I would recommend staying here if you wanted a beautiful secluded view of the volcano (if you get lucky during rainy season). Other than that, it was a little out of the way and difficult to drive into."

"Hidden gem! This place is so pretty. The view from the deck is so beautiful. The place was fully stocked and so accessible. Good sized bathrooms. Had ear plugs provided and didn’t understand why until the rain hit! . Excellent communication, so hospitable. They even offer access to a private trail we couldn’t check out due to time. Would have loved to stay another couple nights, charming place and town. Absolutely recommend this town and accommodation,"
