Monteverde Lodge

Staff is friendly, food is good, rooms are beautiful, pool is the perfect temperature. Just an overall stunning stay. My family and I would 100% come again. We only stayed two nights and really wish we would’ve stayed more. The surrounding areas are filled with restaurants and bars.

Beautiful property and friendly & attentive staff. The food and drinks were excellent—some of the best meals in the area. Highly recommend the hotel.

Very nice hotel with a very serene and calming vibe. Patio opens to a small manmade peaceful water feature/stream that runs past the patio (for decor and sound). Lots of public spaces to hang out and relax, indoors and out. Service is top-notch, helpful and friendly. High quality linen, pillows, shampoo, bathrobes. A few negative points: 1) Out of 4 days there, 2 were interrupted by noisy and unruly young kids (different parties). First kid next door was yelling and splashing in the water and threw a palm-sized rock that bounced around and onto our patio. Second kid's family got up at 6am to depart and kid was loudly singing in the shower and loud overall for an hour, probably waking up the entire row of rooms. It's not the hotel's fault to monitor unruly kids however maybe this hotel attracts them? There are 5-6 rooms all with 2 queen beds along a row, I presume most families of 4 will choose these rooms. Also there is zero sound insulation in the front of the room (front door and bathroom) and walls are thin, so any sounds come right into the room from neighboring rooms and the hallway. If you are looking for relaxation you may or may not get it here. 2) The rooms are not very practical. They are big enough but lack enough table space, shelf space, counter space, etc to place things. Another bedside table, a hall table, changing the double sink to a single sink, that would help. No coat hooks, very small closet space (maybe 1.5 feet wide?). And there were only 2 outlets that we could find in the room. 3) Rain shower is nice, however so much water came out that the shower did not drain. After 1 minute of showering the water would pool 1-2 inches in the shower and drain slowly. We tried 1) calling maintenance, but they tried and could not fix it. 2) Turning off water while showering, works a bit but drain easily backed up again.

This hotel has been one of the best on all our trips. Not only for its location, its comfort, its cleanliness, its gardens, its excellent food, but above all for the excellent and warm service from everyone who served us during our week there. Highly recommended, we will definitely return; it's charming in every sense.
