Beautiful area. Cabins nuce. Chef is incredible! Dinner was amazing. Ficus hike moderate, lots of ups and downs, like most of costa rica. Coffee and avocado farm interesting. Arranged a successful Quetzales tour.
Other lodges in the area have bird feeders with fruit and Hummingbird nectar. Cedrela does not. Hot water in shower was hit and miss.

The food at Cedrela Ecolodge was fantastic! It is gourmet and all locally sourced and sustainable. The chef deserves to win some major awards. It is the best food we have ever had in Costa Rica and some of the best food we have had worldwide.
The cabins are nice and comfortable and have lovely views. The trail on the property goes through beautiful forest and we saw Quetzals along the trail.
Highly recommended staying at this establishment.

AMAZING Food!
Cedrela Ecolodge was the best place I stayed during my visit to Costa Rica. The staff was friendly and very helpful...not jaded by excessed tourism. The property was quiet. The bed was comfortable. The restaurant food was AMAZING! This was the best food I had during my stay in Costa Rica. Fresh, locally sourced, and healthy. It is important to me to know where my food comes from, and how it is prepared. The food at the lodge was spectacular. I will stay here again!

With a motor cycle death at Cartago on the road to Cedrela, traffic ground to a halt. 4 hrs to drive 2km. Arrived very very late at Ecolodge, and were greeted by Marta like family, who took care of ordering in meals etc even at that late hour.
Next morning yielded a beautiful panoramic view of the valley below from our breakfast room.
Can't say enough about how they made us feel at home.
