Quiet, beautiful. My kids were able to see agouti, coati, and all sorts of birds from our balcony in the mornings and the staff was very friendly and enthusiastic about teaching them about the animals. One of the restaurants had a great little nature walk below the terrace so the kids had a great time running around while we waited for the food, which was also delicious. The hotel was well located so most of the things we wanted to do in Monteverde were a short drive or even walkable. Would stay here again!

Beautiful grounds and views. Disappointed with the New Year’s Eve buffet. It was average. They charged for wine on New Year’s Eve which should really come with the meal. Live music was in another restaurant and was just one person playing a guitar. I was told we would have live music at the buffet. Breakfast was good.

The property is literally on a mountain which gives a great experirnce and opportunity to spot some mammals in the backyard of your room. The room which we were in had issue with the shower and also hot water was limited. If one takes long shower we had to wsit for hours to again get hot water.

Beautiful hotel. Great room for a family of 4. The breakfast buffet very good with many options. Friendly staff. The property has Pizotes which are cute animal fun to watch. I highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant stay in Monteverde. Nice pool area but I only wished they had a Hot Tub.
