Extremely smelly bathroom. Which the were not able to fix despite me asking repeatedly. It was very windy the second night and our patio door wouldn’t remain shut. The doors are very flimsy and badly design(They said the wind was typical to Monteverde). They offered us another room far from where our kids room was for the night!! The bird watching they offered us was $90 pp and is three times the price of all the other tours, we took it thinking the quality would be good but the guide cut short the tour!! The location is fantastic and the staff is extremely polite but I don’t think they’re empowered to help or comp customers in cases like this! They could do better especially at the price tag they came at. The fam to table restaurant food was edible but nothing to write home about at the price tag!!

There was so much charm in this hotel! If you are a nature enthusiast and actually care about it this is the place you’d enjoy and you’d want to come back like I do! All the food is organic and grow in-house. The view is spectacular and there is a big hike in this property

We loved our stay! Their breakfast was very delicious. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The view spectacular! Their on site restaurant was delicious just a little pricey. The staff was very helpful. Our only complaint was the many bugs that are able to come in the rooms and the fact that our garden view room had no AC. We were afraid to open the porch doors because of the many little creatures and there was no screen to keep them out. But it was beautiful!!

This place is AMAZING!! Their dedication to conservation is admirable and they are doing a great job. The property made it hard to leave as it had everything you need. There were hiking trails to waterfalls, great views, and opportunities to see wildlife. Additionally the room was spectacular and the onsite restaurant was one I will definitely come back for. The farm to table ingredients were amazing and healthy.
