Cedrela Eco-Lodge & Restaurante

Our villa was a pleasant surprise, poised up on a knoll at the beginning of the Ficus Trail with a lovely garden. Meals were beyond words, creative, beautifully plated and insanely good.

Quiet secluded location. Rustic accommodation. Creative food options at the onsite restaurant.

Rooms #1 is in urgent need of refurbishment. Missing window, curtains, fireplace doesn’t work, electric shower heater on the MB doesn’t work, curtains missing, WiFi not working. The location is great, the view, the restaurant. It’s minor things that should easily be fixed.

We love Cedrela and Al Mercat! Cedrela is nestled in the mountains of Costa Rica. It was easy to navigate there. The accommodations are clean, but the standout of Cedrela is the restaurant, Al Mercat. We had a fantastic meal and ate nearly everything on the menu (advice - go with at least 5 people so you can effectively share!).

Stunning place, food and service! Well, where do I start!I have had the best time! The place is so peaceful and beautiful, the perfect place to rest and recharge with nature. The service was really approachable and professional. The staff is proud of where they work and to deliver some of amazing food. I stayed for 5 days and tasted nearly every dishes on the menu. All dishes are created and composed with care looking at flavours, texture and originality! I loved it and was looking forward to seating down in the restaurant looking at the beautiful view. The room is comfortable with great bed and a very large window which connect you directly to the nature. Thank you to all the team, front of house and chefs. I had an amazing experience. Bravo great establishment . Daisy Rollo

All the reviews of this lodge are accurate. It is a special place with special views. We were here for one night during the rainy season. There was a fire laid in the chimney which would have been welcome at night when it was cool but the hotel was unable to provide matches! There was an empty box by the fireplace… A few quibbles: Be aware the access road is in terrible condition and the alternative route is only practicable in a 4x4 There is limited hot water. What there is in the shower is serviced by a mini electric heater with exposed wiring that would not pass muster in the US or EU. There were no bedside or reading lights in our cabin The tin roofs resound with falling rain drops. All i can say is i could not sleep because it sounded as if someone was tapping the roof all night The lodge is a shade more expensive than most. The restaurant is trily outstanding indeed we had trout in an orange sauce which was Michelin* quality but the price of a meal without wine was £60 or $75 per head which is London prices or more.

Fantastic place , we booked the lodge so we could birdwatch around the area , set in the cloud forest woke up to bird song every morning,the breakfast are delicious we only ate one evening one night but was also delicious,rooms are clean but basic,as there alodge, staff friendly,ideal retreat to relax or explore

The food in the restaurant was amazing! Beautiful trail on the property and comfy beds. Can’t wait to return

I liked the environment very much. The food was gorgeous and the service excellent. The rooms were very small and the bathroom actually without hot water, which my husband especially disliked. A little cold at night , but with the heater it was ok.
