Cloud Forest Lodge by Böëna

Amazing views, beautiful property, friendly and helpful staff, spacious and clean rooms. Felt like a luxurious version of summer camp. Enjoyed everything about this hotel.

This lodge has had a total refurb since most of the pics were posted and is now run by Boena group. It’s stunning and we were really happy with our stay. Setting and views are beautiful, interiors are amazing and immaculate, especially the log fire area. Best breakfasts of our whole trip. A couple of tiny suggested improvements- more comfortable chairs on the deck and dim the restaurant lighting in the evenings.

The grounds, service, room and restaurant were absolutely perfect!

My family (wife and two boys, 14 and 17) loved this place. Lovely property, great restaurant, wonderful conservation mission. Just a magical vibe. I was very impressed by the level of service; we ate in the restaurant more than we'd initially planned (1 dinner, 2 lunches plus our included breakfasts) because the food was excellent, the setting was perfect (hummingbirds everywhere on the porch, a fireplace for chilly nights--not much view for our rainy season visit, but I'm sure it's amazing on sunny days!) and the service was impeccable. Felipe especially was a gracious host, as well as Mateo and all the front desk staff. Food is a bit pricy, but you'd pay $6 for a cab into town and $6 back again, so it was worth it to just stay put. The on-site trails were surprisingly fun; tip: take a pic of the map first. The trail is so long that we were convinced we were lost, so we turned around after an hour (turns out, we weren't lost). My kids liked that trail more than one of the paid trail tours we took the next day (Curi-Cancha). Rooms are spacious, bed was great. If you want nightlife and a TV, and the ability to walk into town, this isn't the place for you, but if you want to chill for a few days after adventuring elsewhere, it's perfect.

We visited the lodge in May. Like some of the reviews here, we had a great experience in a lot of ways but also feel like there could be small additions that would have made the stay even more awesome. The reception was very welcoming. The food was great and the staff there had so many alternatives as some of us were strict vegetarians. breakfast was delicious and we had dinner couple of nights also. The ambience around the fireplace was inviting and we spent couple of nights playing cards as a family. The rooms while huge were lacking in some basics Like fan or ac, fridge. No view from the rooms at all was disappointing. Agree that it is not walkable at all. No roads and the paths up and down are not safe to walk IMO. And yes the reception was kind enough to call cabs even when we’re in the town. The place is definitely more for relaxing and laid back stay.

Lovely 2 night stay at the Cloud Forest Lodge. Very comfortable room and huge shower room. Missed having coffee making facilities in the room, but that’s a pretty minor issue really. Loved having cocktails on the restaurant balcony while watching the sun set and all of our meals in the restaurant were absolutely excellent. Customer service was spot on. We arranged 2 activities through reception: - A night walk, which unfortunately was a complete waste of money - Canopy zip lines, which was excellent and completely safe - although somewhat scary as it was extremely windy.
