I booked this hotel because of the reviews, and was skeptical because the price was excellent for Costa Rica. The property was so beautiful with lots of plants and flowers. Wildlife was abundant. The staff were helpful and friendly. Our room was very large for only two people and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast was simple, but nutritious and tasty. Each room has their own breakfast table.

We could hear the wind gusts during the night, but it’s expected in Monteverde. I don’t think you can escape it. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs and you will be fine.

We enjoyed the breakfast included with our room. It was also set at convenient times for waiting to go out on the trails early morning. The room was clean and comfortable. Otherwise a great stay in a convenient location. Even got to enjoy a toucan making an appearance on the property. There was plenty of parking protected by a gate and even an area to enjoy the outside in the common areas.

The one downside that we experienced was that the walls are a bit thin if your room is sharing a wall with other guests. This was quite minor for the rest of the pluses.

Staff were very welcoming and knowledgable about surrounds and tours assisting us greatly with getting around and seeing what we had hoped to visit. Joselyn and Erica were so lovely and kitchen staff also very friendly and attentive. There was a resident sloth in the garden which was a treat. The grounds were maintained beautifully with many butterflies. Flowers in room which was also a special touch. Rooms were large and very comfortable. We loved our stay and felt very welcomed. Thank you.

nice breakfast. helpful staff

not inside town center

There are not enough wonderful things to say about this property! We rented the big house and it was great for our group of 10. The grounds are full of paths and flowers and butterflies and a sloth. Morning breakfast was filling and good for $6 per person. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with local recommendations. The house itself has so much room and a nice porch space to take in the amazing view and weather. It was a perfect home base!!

This is a beautiful hotel. Gardens are stunning. Breakfast was delicious. It’s on the edge of town but only a 10 minute walk there. We loved the resident sloth! The lady cooking the breakfast made us aware of this. You were so close to him! The reception staff were all very helpful. We used their laundry service. We also saw toucans from our patio. I would highly recommend this beautiful place.

Nothing

Hotel is like a big green tropical garden, with lots of flowers , animals, birds , a wild slot ( who shows up regularly ) , rooms are cosy and bed and pillows were high quality . Staff is highly professional , breakfast is good and receptionist helped us organising trips and helped us choosing the right trip for our interrests. Reception also gave us precious help and solved a major problem where spanish speaking was needed. We highly recommend this place .

Excellent location in Santa Elena, just a walking distance from the town centre. Stunning grounds, lots of birds and some wildlife. Great jacuzzi bath. Great typical breakfast, lovely plantain, juices, pancakes etc. Very happy with the stay and highly recommended.

The mattress on 1 of the beds was quite worn out and I mentioned it at the reception at the check out. But apart from that, really nothing bad to say about the place. We would return there.

Staff at reception was very helpful and assisted us with tours and transfers booking. Garden around hotel is lovely we have seen a sloth, toucanet and other birds! There was a coffee station with ready made coffee. Breakfast was nice and substantial. As we had an early tour one day, we even been given a packed breakfast.

Room was a bit dark, but it's because it faced a garden which is quite dense. We didn't really mind it, so this is not a complaint. Bear in mind, it's really hard to walk around the town as often there are no pavement. Also roads are quite steep, so proper shoes are essential even if you are going out for a meal or attraction nearby.

Brilliant little place with lots of character, friendly helpful staff and lovely rooms. We were on our honeymoon and very much appreciated the four poster bed. As with many of the hotels in Costa Rica the wildlife makes itself at home in the grounds and there was actually a sloth there during our stay. The hotel is walking distance from the local town where there are many shops and restaurants. The receptionist was brilliant arranging our trip into the cloud forest, and our onward transport.
