The room was great as was the hotel shared areas. The hotel charges top end rates - which is fine, but then the evening meal we had in the restaurant was decent but not great (my wife’s dish was not hot). We had a better experience in the tap room the next evening. The options for cooked breakfast are very good but not to be able to have a decent bowl of fruit per individual and put yoghurt, nuts etc on top was a shame.

Beautiful room and views of the valley and the breakfast was great. Really tranquil place to stay. Only issued was we had booked transfer form the airport and it seemed a bit disorganised, no one was waiting for us and we just happened upon another driver who called the hotel.

At the end of the rainbow, on the edge of the cloud forest, sits Hotel Belmar. The property feels like a unique blend of a boutique eco-lodge and a European ski chalet, crafted almost entirely from local wood. While the approach road is steep and rocky, there is convenient parking very close to the entrance. With only 40 rooms, the experience feels intimate. Our room featured a private balcony with seating for two and a spectacular view of the valley extending all the way to the Nicoya Peninsula on the Pacific coast. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, featuring functional bathrooms with eco-friendly products. To ensure total immersion in the cloud forest, there are no TVs—a touch we truly appreciated. If you are on the property at sunset, you won't be disappointed; the colors are incredible. The dining was a distinct highlight. The onsite restaurant, Celajes, practices farm-to-table dining using produce from their own organic farm, Madre Tierra. Breakfast was included and offered plenty of hearty, healthy options. We also enjoyed two outstanding dinners there; the quality, quantity, and care put into each dish were evident. The waitstaff was perfectly attentive, and the bartender crafts excellent cocktails using fresh, onsite ingredients. Don't miss the onsite craft brewery—even as a non-IPA fan, I found theirs well-balanced and smooth, though the Stout was my personal favorite. The service and activities truly set Belmar apart. The in-house activity desk was seamless, h

Sensational views from the sunset room, but overall the experience was very inconsistent. The staff were lovely, particularly at the reception desk. But breakfast staff were hit and miss with a very variable experience each day. The room was hot in the day and no aircon detracted from our ability to enjoy the view, as equally the balcony was quite chilly in the breeze. The bath on the veranda is a great idea, but it takes an hour to fill. And frustratingly the floor to ceiling glass view in the room was obscured from the bed by additional somewhat unnecessary furniture which we kept moving, but every day the cleaner put it back. Room service was not available when we wanted to eat during the day. The staff were lovely and clearly trying, and the experience was still enjoyable, it just was very inconsistent and bit tired.

The rooms are very large, with comfortable beds, luxurious robes, scented bath products and a refrigerator with complimentary drinks. The balcony was very nice with a comfy hammock swing to lounge in! The hot tub was most enjoyable too. The food was delicious and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. The rooms and rest of the hotel are very clean. The whole property is just lovely. Views are outstanding!!

The property is beautiful in a very quiet and peaceful area. Not much in terms of facilities, they only had a jacuzzi. Beautiful rooms but the floors were much to loud, even when walking barefoot. No AC but it was cool enough to need it. No TV in room so if If you’re not looking for seclusion and connection with your travel partner, this property is not for you. I was traveling with my parents and reserved for 3, they were not crazy about it.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff was INCREDIBLE. The views were stunning. The hotel sources most of the food they serve from a local, 100% sustainable and carbon neutral farm, and the food was Excellent. Truly a magical stay.

Driving up the mountain to get to the hotel is not for the faint of heart, but it was worth it. The scenery is magical. The hotel is authentic and quirky in a good way. Do not recommend for those with mobility issues.

Such a unique, serene experience. The entire staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. The hotel had so many activities within itself it felt like we didn’t have enough time there!! Our favorite part was definitely the farm to table food experience. Every drink and dish was exquisite. We really appreciated this hotel’s keen attention to detail and the thoughtfulness in everything they do!!
