Monteverde Romantic Cabañas 5Minutes Mtv Park

"Amazing tree house lodging on the edge of Monteverde! Beautiful, half mile walk into town along the main road. Wildlife, birds and monkeys visited us at the cabin. We watched fireflies at night from the covered hot tub on the porch. The owners were excellent at communicating, prompt with breakfast delivery and helped us arrange for transportation and reservations for nearby reserve tours and an overnight trip to La Fortuna to take a cooking class with a local Costa Rican family, see sloths and red eye tree frogs, and take a dip in the hot springs. We can’t recommend this lodging enough!!"

"Very comfortable and the staff very friendly"

Monteverde Villa Lodge

Valle Escondido Nature Reserve Hotel & Farm

"Valle Escondido has a great view over the valley and good nature trains where you can spot animals and birds in their environment. The staff are very welcoming and helpful with nothing being too much bother. The restaurant serves home town produce however the menu dos not vary between lunch and dinner so staying there for a few days and eating at this restaurant can become repetitive/limited choices. Whilst nature takes and eco ethos takes front stage there are a few little things that could be improved to ale their offering better: - more comfortable seating areas - this would help guests relax and be bake to sit comfortably during days when it’s raining. There’s little spaces for this at present. - vary the menu between lunch and dinner - possibly add a swimming pool / jacuzzi to increase relaxation or enhance luxury - rooms above the gues shop and by the Landry could do with some modernising. Overall, this is a great hotel to stay at and the above enhancements could make it excellent. The location is quiet (nature is the only thing making noises!) and it’s easy to get a taxi ordered into town costing some USD 6. If asking the reception to organise the cloud forest tour please note this does not include pick up from hotel and a taxi there will likely cost USD 20). Hotel staff were amazing. Thank you for a great stay and memorable views."

Hotel Montaña Monteverde

"Don't listen to the negative doom merchants. We had a two night stay here on our tour of Costa Rica. We loved it. All staff were really friendly and welcoming. Yes the room was basic but clean and comfortable. What more does one need. Happy hour in the bar was popular, Pina Colada was amazing. Breakfast was good. Food was great quality, hot and plentiful. Short walk into town for some good restaurants and gift shops. Thanks to everyone there who made our stay so memorable. We loved it."

Bella Vista Lodge

"It was nice to have a cabin all to ourselves, a separate place away from others. It mad it more homey and relaxed. The view from on the hill is nice but it would be better if the cable lines blocked the view. Thankfully a short walk away is the scenic overlook which has several people there at sunset. Jose', the owner, was very helpful with anything we needed. Johnny on the spot. They were able to do our laundry on short notice for a price. The kitchen is well stocked although we only used the coffee maker and refrigerator. They use electric device for the shower which took a few times to get used to how it works. Pay attention when he explains it. The water won't get hot only warm. There was an extra room off the kitchen with a sink and much larger counter for getting ready. The room had a huge area to store luggage and dress in. My husband spent quite a bit of time in the morning in the gazebo reading and drinking his coffee. It's a large gathering area to mingle and watch the sunset. We stayed there for about 8 days so we really got a feel for the area. There were three really good restaurants within walking distance. Tinco's, 506, and Tramonti. Improvements would be to add a lamp in the sleeping area. The overhead lights are a bit harsh and there were two large dogs that would sometimes back late into the night sometimes 10-11:30 PM. At what, who knows. Beware, Montiverde is very windy, wind gusts 27-32 mph. It will sound like there's a big storm at night but you open the drapes in the morning and it's nice and sunny."

Cabinas Capulin & Farm

"The Vista house is very dirty. Looks like it hasn't been cleaned. There was blood all over one of the sheets and when I pointed it out the male owner was rude and claimed it was us and that it was just chocolate. Every night there were large animals (ie not insects) in the wall that scratched and woke us up. We couldn't see anything but recorded video of the very loud noises and that it crawled aroubd in the wall. The owner just laughed at us. The second night, in the dark, I was attacked by a bat in the bedroom. In a panic I waved it away and it flew around the room. We finally caught it with a pan and let it out. That was the final straw and the reason why we had enough. When we told the man about it, he claimed it was a beetle. Grinned at us, shook his head and left the conversation. I have never experienced anything like it. After all, we had proof with the removed bat and the sounds from the wall on video. I have never experienced such bad treatment in a hotel. The male owner is violently arrogant. Degrading and claiming one lies and laughs at one. I cannot recommend this hotel in any way. It is very dirty and disgusting, far from everything and the host is rude and arrogant. At the same time, the house is full of animals such as bats in the bedroom and animals in the wall. It is the worst place I have ever stayed and we also left the place early even though we had paid as we didn't want to be there anymore."
