Owners & Staff went above & beyond during our week stay. Incredible source of knowledge of things to do for a true Costa Ricca experience, even down to making me tea for achy throat.
Beautiful oasis in the city. The rooms are spacious, beds comfortable and it has a lovely open air terrace where you can enjoy your breakfast in the shade. From the 2nd floor there is a stunning view of San Jose. The excellent pool is a very attractive focal point for the outdoor area and it has lounges where you can stretch out in the sun. It is a 20-30 minute drive from the airport but it was not a problem to arrange transportation. The owner was wonderful - can’t thank her enough for her hospitality and help!
Love the design of this beautiful hotel. It is located on a hilltop and has a grand view of San Jose. Rooms are spacious and bed and pillow comfortable. It is a real treat to breakfast just outside our main floor room near the gorgeous pool while enjoying the view of the lovely grounds. The owner is so wonderful - we especially appreciated the help she provided to us in getting back a phone we had dropped in our taxi from the airport!! It is a 20-30 minute drive from the airport but well worth it to arrive at this oasis. The taxi from the airport was easy to arrange and the rental car company brought our car to the hotel.
Our week-long stay at Canal Grande Lodge was delightful. The staff were extremely helpful and courteous and a pleasure to interact with, especially Gustavo. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Costa Rica.

The owner and staff here was amazing! This was hidden beautifully quiet stay. They are very welcoming and accommodating. The view was beautiful and the atmosphere is wonderful and relaxing. The bed was a bit on the harder side but would still go back and recommend.
Staff were oh so nice and helpful. This small hotel is on a private road and the decor is like being in a museum...very lovely. the steps were a bit challenging but there are 1st floor rooms.
Overall a good stay, staff was friendly. First night was on the first floor and had a bad experience, had cockroches and lizards in our room. I complained to office and they moved us to the 2nd floor. After that had no problems and a great clean room. Would recommended HOWEVER, NO AC! So if thats a problem don't stay here. Its a must to have a car. Very limited and expensive busses or shuttles. Hotel in not near San Jose or major hubs. But the views and pool are beautiful.
Would rate 3.5 out of 5 stars overall.
Customer service at this hotel is surpassed by none. From the first person you meet all the way up and including the owner who has been on site a lot. All fantastic people to deal with! I will definitely be returning.
I had an excellent stay at the Canal Grande Lodge. The staff were wonderful, really friendly and helpful and the hotel was spotless with large spacious rooms. It also had a lovely outdoor space with a pool and amazing views. A good option for those who are looking to stay close to San Jose airport but away from the busy streets of San Jose.
Wonderful place to stay ! Clean , nice , the staff and the owner Rafael wonderful , excellent customer service ! We will come back again ! Property is clean , beautiful , rooms are excellent , hot water , breakfast is super delicious , coffee is the best in town ! We are very satisfied with our stay !
Thank you to all !
This is a place to come and relax. 12 rooms, clean and comfortable. Adult clientele, quiet but the owner, host and staff are most warm and welcoming. It's was a retreat in the mountains that I hope to visit again!
