Hotel LGBTQIA+ a Santa Elena

“Our stay at Cala Lodge was an absolute delight! What a very special place Francisco and family have created! We loved staying in the Mathilda House. It was perfect for our family of 5, ages 14-82, nestled in the cloud forest with floor to ceiling windows. It was incredible to see wildlife pass by, we felt lucky to be guests in their well-loved and protected forest. We had dreams and conversations with the howler monkeys throughout the night, and agoutis, coatis and diverse birds were easily seen...

“Excellent location and breakfast ”

“Quest'hotel è molto bello, nel cuore del parco dell'Arenal (l'unico). Le camera spaziose e compde, vista sul verde. Passeggiata di 2 ore inclusa, colazione inclusa e piscina anche. Il riatorante ha la vista sul volcan e si mangia bene. ”

“We loved the ambience of this place. Driving in at night was whimsical with mushroom lights guiding the way. The room was artsy and fun.

“Excellent staff, great food!”

Their warmth, kindness, and sense of humor immediately made me feel at home. This is not an ordinary hotel stay—it feels more like coming home to family. As...

“Il percorso per arrivare all'hotel è stato difficoltoso, attraverso strade non asfaltate e sotto la pioggia. L'albergo è semplice ma accogliente, il cibo ottimo, il personale cordiale.
