This property was right in the trees/jungle and we saw Howler monkeys, Capuchin monkeys, and Quatimundi right from our front porch. That was magical. It was noisy at night at times because of the wildlife, but still worth it. The place was clean, nice, and the people very helpful.
Nice cabin-style rooms in dense foliage, yet within a few blocks walking distance to: an excellent restaurant and craft cocktail bar (Natu Speakeasy), a fun leafy sportsbar with live entertainment (Tree House), and delicious coffee, sandwiches and pastries (at Zuccaro). The hotel bar, restaurant and breakfast area were also terrific.
Special thanks to front desk receptionist Manfred who was so helpful in sharing ideas to explore that beautiful area.
Definitely plan to return.
The room is clean and dark so good for sleeping. The walls are a bit thin if you are super sensitive to noise. You have to walk awhile for breakfast (but you could drive), so if you have an elderly person, it could be a bit of a walk! But the breakfast is pretty nice and the view is really nice. This is right in town. There’s a fun bridge to walk to for going to some of the rooms and nature is all around—you might see monkeys or toucans if you get up on the earlier side. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. You will want to be friends with them!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The setting is beautiful and the staff is wonderful. The room was in a beautiful jungle setting. The bed was not so good- I could feel the springs. There was no heat in the room. I found blankets for the second night. Breakfast was okay but not as good as other places I have stayed in CR
Jaguarundi was a real disappointment on our trip. We had booked a superior cabin at an expensive rate. The cabin was basic and unclean with dirt on the walls and in the bathroom. The mattresses were poor quality and were dirty, as was the bed linen. There were also dangerous concrete paths to get to the cabins which were steep and slippy. The one & only redeeming factor about this place is its location next to Santa Elena. I would not recommend this as a place to stay.
We loved this hotel! I was apprehensive after reading a few of the reviews, but after staying here, I couldn’t be happier to report this is the place to stay! Quaint rustic cabins, tucked in the jungle with monkeys, coati, agouti & motmots right outside your door. If you’re planning a stay in Monteverde, you won’t be disappointed with Jaguarundi!
Perfect place in the forest. Feels very nature everywhere you walk. Nice path to go breakfast up the hill. So relaxing. Bathroom a bit outdated but clean overall.
Perfect location very central in Monte Verde. Very helpful reception. Easy parking. Nice breakfast and a good bar /restaurant where you Can Watch the sunset.
This is a very wonderful property. On our first morning there, we woke to the sounds of the howler monkeys! I saw a few on the property. We saw lots of wildlife, which is what we had been hoping for. The trails are beautiful. It felt very safe and the staff was wonderful. There is an easy walk to town for restuarants and shopping. This property was absolutely amazing!
Amazing place right near the centre of Santa elena but also out the way. Bit annoying that breakfast was a 5 minute walk up hill. Saw agouti from our room. Suspension bridge is fun. Staff very friendly

Beautiful stay!
The location of the hotel is very nice. Everything is quite walkable distance from the room. The whole ambience of the hotel is amazing. Felt like living in the jungle. Absolutely brilliant and soothing. The room was quiet spacious however the bathroom was a bit small. Overall an amazing stay!
