At the edge of the Cloud Forest
Fabulous staff, very kind and helpful. The breakfasts were great and we had a wonderful dinner at the on-site restaurant. It's a 10 - 15 minute walk into the Monteverde Cloud Forest. It wasn't a problem for us, but there are some steep ramps getting to some of the rooms and from the road to the parking lot. If you have mobility issues, be sure to check with the staff about options.

Trapp lodge is very close to cloud forest and is really good. Rooms are not well maintained as carpet smell was strong ( no fan/ventilation) and we had good numbers of bugs coming to room too. Breakfast is limited with preset option servings. Rooms doesn't have coffee machine too.

I had a great experience. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and helpful. I walked almost everywhere, from the cloud forest to a coffee farm (Café La Bella Tica, highly recommended), to the downtown Santa Elena area. I like walking, so the location was fine for me (I averaged about 10.5 miles per day). They have one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. It starts with fresh fruit (banana, pineapple and guava), and then you have a choice of 4 options: a traditional Costa Rican breakfast, pancakes, toast and eggs, or huevos rancheros. I didn't have the toast, but everything else was exceptional. The restaurant was also very good. I highly recommend the grilled chicken with black pepper sauce or the grilled sea bass. The facilities are well-maintained and clean. While I was there, they were repainting the walls along the walkway and they tended to the grounds (bush and tree trimming, mowing, etc). They cleaned my room when I asked them to and avoided it when I asked them not to. I could not have had a better experience. I highly recommend the Trapp Family Lodge.

Great view from our room. Quiet. Restaurant was good food but a bit pricey compared to other options in area. Breakfast was nice and included. Very close to Monteverde reserve entrance so some traffic on road and took a while to get up there from town. We ended up eating in town a lot.

Beautiful view and cute rooms. No AC, and even in the cooler mountains it would have been nice. Plus the doors have gaps that allow bugs to crawl under and into the rooms. But it is a cloud forest so not a big deal, just something to note. Good location.

I really wanted to give this property 5 stars but I had to take one off simply because the rooms, at least our room, was very outdated and the bed extremely uncomfortable. I will say that the views from this property are breathtaking and we were in love! It is a short walk to the Monteverde Cloud Forest. The staff were extremely friendly and courteous. The food at the restaurant was also quite good! My only disappointment was the room condition and bed. Otherwise, wonderful property!

Mixed Experience at the Hotel I recently stayed at this hotel, and while there were some positive aspects, there were also a few disappointments. Towels: The size and quality of the towels left much to be desired. They felt thin and not very absorbent. As someone who appreciates a plush, luxurious towel, I was disappointed. Lighting in the Walkway: The illuminated walkway outside the rooms was a bit bothersome. While I understand the need for safety and visibility, having it lit all night affected the room’s darkness. A good night’s sleep is crucial, and any unnecessary light can disrupt that. It would be great if the hotel could find a balance between safety and guest comfort. Parking Challenges: Uneven terrain is understandable, but the presence of boxes and other obstacles in the parking spots made parking more difficult. I hope the management takes these points into consideration to enhance the guest experience
