Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers fantastic views facing West for gorgeous sunsets but lacks tea making facilities in the rooms. The service is a mix of being helpful and friendly with some minor misunderstandings. The location is great for cloud forest activities but with limited seating. The dining experience could be improved with more selections. The facilities are well-maintained even though basic.
The hotel is tucked away in a beautiful cloud forest reserve in Monteverde, offering a lovely view but lacking in seating at times. The rooms are comfortable but not extraordinary, and the service is exceptional despite missing some shuttle details. The dining experience could use some improvement despite having a nice view. The location in Costa Rica is picturesque, but there can be challenges with shuttle services. Overall, a mixed experience with highlights and drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms were very cold and damp due to the leaking roof, they were spacious enough to accommodate four adults. Unfortunately, they lacked basic amenities like an information book or even a free bottle of water.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with its private rooms featuring lovely balconies and spacious layout, although lacking dressers with drawers. The fantastic view added a special touch to my experience, making it truly memorable.
The hotel rooms are very large but also very dark, lacking dressers with drawers, forcing me to live out of my suitcase. The furniture and décor are quite old, and the acoustics are terrible. On the bright side, the staff was very friendly and put us in touch with a doctor. The location offers beautiful views and transport to various activities. The dining area was chaotic with limited time for meals.
The hotel offers well-equipped rooms with amenities like TVs, plenty of luggage space, and refrigerators, although noise can sometimes be an issue. The service is extremely helpful and friendly, while the location is serene yet convenient between Monteverde Reserve and Santa Elena. The dining options are good with a variety of choices, despite some limitations. The hotel facilities are well-maintained and cater to guests' needs.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and modern, but the lack of privacy due to the windows in the bathroom opening onto the hallway was a major inconvenience. Despite the disturbance from neighboring guests, the room itself was cozy and updated.
The hotel offers breathtaking views of the mountains and valley below. The rooms are cozy but could improve their design. The service was average with some communication issues. The location is central, although the hotel complex is quite large. The dining experience is basic with limited options.
