Beautiful property. The staff were all very nice and accommodating, the pool was great, and warm. Our room was small but we were rarely in it, comfortable bed and linens. The lobby, bar and restaurant were spacious and had stunning views.

Nice but expensive hotel.

Nice but way overpriced hotel. No elevator, no TV (we rarely would use). No reading light by bed, though general lighting OK. Very noisy room due to poor sound insulation. Ear plugs provided, no slippers. Nice brook running right outside patio door was audible at night. Wonderful walking trails around property in the middle of a forest. Breakfast was ordered off a fixed menu, not a buffet. Very small portions. Comfortable mattress. Road from La Fortuna was just awful.

Beautiful hotel with all the amenities you could want. Fabulous setting and trails throughout their forested grounds. Very attentive staff at all levels, though special shout out to Jessica in the restaurant who took great care of us. Comfortable bed and spacious room. Short walk into the center of Santa Elena. Short drive to almost all the Monteverde area's attractions. Great place to stay and would definitely return again.

Relaxing, peaceful and attractive hotel. Loved the atrium, garden and dining areas. Beds and linen are very comfortable. Also found the stream off our patio very relaxing. Only negative is that you can hear people in hallway and through the bathroom vent.

Everything was great. Had a room with an isolated view of a garden without anyone being able to walk past our window. The property was amazing— a nice pool (with birds and occasional monkeys) and an easy 5 min walk to the center of town. And still very quiet! Hope to go back

Our group loved this hotel. The Lodge feels secluded with scenic views from the rooms, and short walking trails at the property - all while only being a short walk (with sidewalks) to town. The dining is indoor and outdoor, with expansive vistas. The food was creative, well presented and delicious! The rooms are spacious with peaceful outdoor seating. Our excursions were conveniently within 20 minutes and the concierge staff were so helpful in recommending and assisting with our requests. All of the staff were attentive! We highly recommend this hotel!

Stayed at the Monteverde Lodge early December 2024. Transportation from the cruise port or San Jose airport to this lodge is expensive (as is most transportation in Costa Rica because there are few good roads). The best option we found for transportation to the lodge was with Quality Travel Services. Better to fly into Liberia International Airport (LIR) because it is much closer to the lodge. While the lodge is situated in a very peaceful/quiet location, it is just a short walk to restaurants and other types of stores/services. Plan on spending some time walking the trails around the lodge. The grounds are beautiful. The views and sounds from the bedroom were amazing. Hearing the wind blowing through the trees and the waterfalls in the canyon below us was so peaceful. Leave your sound machine at home. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant has a separate menu for vegetarians. Everything we ordered was very good (and sometimes very unusual). Talk to Oscar (bar tender) in the restaurant about breweries and distilleries if that is your interest. Be prepared for rain as this is in the Monteverde rain forest. The lodge has umbrellas for your use if you need them. They also have rubber boots you can borrow (up to size 10 only) for your treks into the rainforest. If you don’t wear boots, chances are your feet will be very wet after any tour in the rainforest. The lodge also has transportation services and a variety of excursions.

Staff and cleanliness perfect. Room awful . Very small. No Tv, No Fridge , no drawers to put things in and the most uncomfortable bed we have ever had. Terry view from the room with large wooden bits sticking up and very messy grass etc, I know it’s a sustainable hotel but that does not mean that you cannot have normal facilities.
