A lovely hotel with a superb location. We were given a room with a view that was absolutely out of this world. Far exceeding my expectations. The staff were lovely, particularly Melanny who served us at dinner. She was friendly, polite and happy to accommodate our dietary needs. Beautiful extensive grounds on a private reserve. Could have stayed here longer

Clean, large, comfortable room, with a fantastic view from our third floor balcony. Food was wonderful: fresh and flavorful. Staff were very friendly and helpful. However the best part was definitely the nature preserve - we loved walking the trails where we saw all kinds of wildlife. Had one amazing half hour where we were surrounded by capuchin monkeys and coatis, climbing, running and playing around us! Incredible.

Terrible beds, worst I’ve ever experienced in all my world travels, stayed in many hostels in my 20s and these were the wordt. Terrible tiny lumpy pillows. Tons of Black mold in bathroom. Shower drain doesn’t drain in a timely manner so standing in your own filth or those of previous occupants. No sound proofing between rooms so woke up by people above us many times.

The Sunset views are spectacular. It was the highlight of our day. Every night was a masterpiece. Dinner is open air, and you can watch the sunset. The restaurant staff was very helpful and accommodating, especially Melanie. She went above and beyond to make our stay memorable she learned our names and our preferences. The room was spacious and spotless. It came with the balcony that we used very often. The hiking grounds are amazing and right outside your door. Front staff was also very helpful but Melanie stood out as very genuine and friendly. We used the laundry service and were so happy to have gotten the chance we did a night tour which was interesting. The front desk staff organized drives into town for us, but we always came back for the sunsets. Our favorite meal was the wood oven pizza, and the soups. The whole restaurant smells like wood pizza it’s to die for my biggest tip is bring enough warm clothes, bring rain, ponchos, it rains throughout the day and as eating is open air, you can feel cold. You will want a jacket. The staff will also bring you blankets

Everything was lovely here. The staff were great, everything was clean. Food was pretty good. I have two things to call out - 1. There are no single use plastics anywhere on site. Amazing dedication to sustainability. 2. The views of the mountains and valleys are spectacular. The images don’t do it justice. When I return to Monteverde I won’t consider going anywhere else but this place.

Everything outside of the room was excellent. Rooms are damp due to lack of AC. There were small insects but that is understandable due to location on the farm. The outside bar, food and trails are excellent

The room and hotel is great. Quiet and farm to table food is impressive. The only issue we had is during dinner time, we ordered a pizza and later we wanted to order another one. We were told no pizza any more, so we ordered some dessert. But after a while, we found other table got pizzas. We tried to figure out what’s the problem, and the waitress explained it was communication issue and new pizza order would take 1 hour. Not fully understood the point and there seems lots of guest from outside to just have some quick dinner which makes staffs busy and not patient
