Beautiful grounds and views. Disappointed with the New Year’s Eve buffet. It was average. They charged for wine on New Year’s Eve which should really come with the meal. Live music was in another restaurant and was just one person playing a guitar. I was told we would have live music at the buffet. Breakfast was good.

Rooms need work, everything else really nice
The hotel grounds are very beautiful, full of trails and a lovely pool and restaurant. The rooms were not good. The first room smelt like it had been flooded and the carpets had not been lifted, we requested a change of rooms. The second room was better, but very sparse. There was one chair and no side table, so the only place we could sit together was on the bed. It just felt very sterile. Also only one bed had a blanket and it was cold when we went. The restaurant was really good and the bar service was very good l.

The property is literally on a mountain which gives a great experirnce and opportunity to spot some mammals in the backyard of your room. The room which we were in had issue with the shower and also hot water was limited. If one takes long shower we had to wsit for hours to again get hot water.

Beautiful hotel. Great room for a family of 4. The breakfast buffet very good with many options. Friendly staff. The property has Pizotes which are cute animal fun to watch. I highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant stay in Monteverde. Nice pool area but I only wished they had a Hot Tub.

Resort is very tired and has begun its descent into shabbiness. Our first room had a torn screen and a badly damaged carpet. They switched us to a smaller room of same type that at least had intact screen, but stained and pulled carpet. Gym was okay. No A/C. Loft of our room got very hot.

Run Down, Poorly Maintained
The check-in was more about policy and procedure versus a friendly welcome. But more importantly , the room was in desperate need of renovation and repair. The carpet was dirty and shredded, the doors were lopsided, the fixtures were broken, the windows didn’t have a screen over them to prevent bugs from coming in, which is a big deal because the hotel doesn’t have air conditioning. The property and rooms were in extremely poor condition and needs a complete renovation in my opinion!
