Cala Lodge was founded in 2008 by naturalist guide Francisco Castro Leitón as a way to offer quality accommodations with very personalized service in Monteverde.   

Located adjacent to the world renowned Children’s Eternal Rain Forest, Cala Lodge offers cozy accommodations surrounded by beautiful forest and easy access to all the main attractions of the area. The visitors can design the best itineraries to take better advantage of their stay in Monteverde.

Their signature, a flower planted in wet lands called “Cala” also known as water lily, illustrates their philosophy of service and commitment to the clients. Elegance, nobility, and customer satisfaction are key parts of their work.

The hotel is built on three acres of forest that connects with the famous Children’s Eternal Forest which has an area of 54,000 acres and is one of the largest private reserves of Central America.

The property has been reforested with native species of trees in some open areas and native flower on the gardens, to attract birds and butterflies from the area.

There are Standard rooms (maximum three persons per room) and Suite Rooms (maximum of 6 persons per suite). Each room features orthopedic mattresses, closets, hair dryer and private bathrooms with hot water.

Cala Lodge Accommodations

One of our main goals at Cala Lodge is to give our guests the opportunity to reconnect with nature, so intentionally we avoid having phones or TV’s on the rooms however we provide a high quality internet service. The climate in the tropics can be humid and because we are located in the cloud forest it will be easy to find some insect as well as monkeys, coatis, agoutis, and beautiful birds that you will have a very good chance to see from your standard room. All the rooms have terrace or balcony.
