The rooms at this hotel were absolutely fantastic! They were incredibly spacious and had both a king and queen bed, which was such a refreshing change from the usual two doubles. The rooms were also exceptionally clean and had a lovely sitting area. The hotel grounds were beautifully maintained, with small two-story groups of rooms and impressive hardwood furniture in the rooms. The location of the hotel was great for accessing Monteverde, and on a clear day, you could even see a partial view of the Pacific from the beautiful west-facing view. The staff at breakfast were very helpful and spent a lot of time assisting us with booking transportation and explaining the Monteverde park. this hotel provided great value for money and had attention to detail that made our stay enjoyable.
All was well during our stay.
