The lodge is nestled into the rolling pastures, at the foothills of the Poás Volcano, one of the worlds largest active craters. The impressive views from the house include not only the volcano, but also the western area of the spectacular Braulio Carillo National Park as well as the Caribbean plains. Poás Volcano Lodge is just a few meters from the nearest protected subtropical rain forest area, through which a network of trails have been designed for visitors to explore.

The lodge comprises of nine comfortable bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with a sunken stone bathtub. The rooms have ensuite bathrooms and a luxury rustic flavour with stone walls, wood panelling, soft lighting and sumptious beds. They each have private access to the garden which affords an impressive view to the volcano.
