Koora es un hotel espectacular que ofrece una experiencia única desde el primer momento. La bienvenida es cálida y personalizada, incluso con el detalle especial de que el staff sabía nuestros nombres, lo que hizo que la estadía se sintiera cercana y exclusiva. El servicio fue excepcional en todo momento. Las habitaciones son amplias, cómodas y con una vista impresionante al bosque nuboso de Monteverde, lo que convierte cada amanecer en algo mágico. La propuesta gastronómica del restaurante es deliciosa, con platos frescos y muy bien preparados. Además, la ubicación es perfecta: rodeada de naturaleza pero a pocos minutos del centro de Monteverde. Sin duda, un lugar para volver y recomendar al 100%.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Koora Hotel in Monteverde. The suite was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered breathtaking views of the cloud forest and beyond. The location is ideal—close to town and major attractions, yet peaceful and surrounded by nature. We especially loved having both the Aguti Biological Reserve and the Natuwa Wildlife Sanctuary right next door, where we enjoyed scenic trails and spotted local wildlife up close. The service was excellent, warm, and attentive throughout our stay. The breakfasts were delicious, and the bar and restaurant were a great place to relax in the evenings. Koora Hotel offers the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty—a great choice for families visiting Monteverde.

We stayed during Costa Rica’s rainy season and were pleasantly surprised with a room upgrade during check in. The service was great and the staff was very personal, remembering our names, room number, and even where we had sat in the restaurant for breakfast! Complimentary access to the nearby nature reserve was a great bonus, and we were able to spot coatis and an agouti during our stay. Highly recommended!

We were a party of 4 and had an amazing time at Koora Hotel. It was in a great location for hiking, ziplining, horse-riding, night hike etc. The Natura sanctuary was amazing. Only comment was that the Aguti trail could be better signed posted. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. We were also able to order breakfast early at 6.15 am as we had an early hike start. We would highly recommend Koora Hotel.
