Since walls are super thin. We had nobody next to us the first night and it was great! But second night a lady was talking on her phone all night and we could not sleep. But on the positive side their night walk tour at the property is totally great! We saw a lot of cool night animals and insects and their staff at the restaurants were really friendly and kind. You should try their Brownie with ice cream at their restaurant. ##### Adrian Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily 1 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is so beautiful in such a beautiful location ##### Emily Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### spilman 5 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The viewswere spectacular and the on site 4 star resturant service and food was great.

The grounds the hotel is set in amazing. All the rooms seem to have great views across the valley, with nature being so close. Only criticism is the acoustics, the rooms echoed. I love to go back again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/00b47ff5-88d2-4d1a-92bd-e38cffa73026-1753275633357.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/136824e2-bfcf-4d78-adff-5cb02535f7de-1753275638058.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kishor Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruben 18 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Service as superb, food was great and tours were fantastic.

There are shuttles on demand that take you to the other areas of the resort such as the pool, restaurant and canopy/night tours. The food at the restaurant was excellent. we found the breakfast buffet to be average, with the exception of the made to order omelettes which were excellent too. Monteverde is much cooler than the rest of Costa Rica so provided some rest-bite from the heat for a few days. The excursions at the hotel and surrounding area are the main attraction as the small town was quiet. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1d70879e-bf57-4459-991f-63f49235dc3c-1756352463289.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mukesh 29 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice property with great location. ##### Mukesh Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sameen 3 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities wonderful view of the forest and excellent staff! ##### Sameen Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Christy 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Charming cottage-style property with basic amenities: restaurant, 24-hour gym, souvenir shop, and a partially open “indoor” pool. Food is nicely presented, like elevated pub fare. No luggage room and late check-in at 3 PM. Soundproofing is poor—you can hear neighbors and hallway traffic. Clean, friendly staff, and great views. Good for families or young couples, but not a luxury stay. ##### Christy Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenn 23 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is situated in a stunning locale and they take advantage of that to delight guests ##### Glenn Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerra 21 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is clean and updated.

Shuttle service was excellent. Activities could be arranged at the property. Breakfast was brilliant. Lighting in the room was poor and room was outdated. Staff was great. However, waiter service at the restaurant was very poor for an empty restaurant. ##### Kanti Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cesar 9 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The place is beautiful, right in the mountain of monte verde.

The property is full of wildlife and all of the staff is super helpful. Breakfast is delicious and definitely recommend the banana bread! Austin the bartender is great, we visited him for a few happy hours. While you’re there check out the spa and excellent way to recover from zip lining! The property was larger than expected so we were thankful for the shuttle to get us around. One flag is that there was no AC in the hotel rooms but at night it cooled off. ##### Madeline Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lindsey 14 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hotel with a beautiful view! There is an observation tower at the top of the property for great sunset views. The restaurants had great food- nice to have right on property. Only downside was no air conditioning (spoiled, I know) and the wildlife was quite loud early morning since windows were open. Would stay again! ##### Lindsey Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > > [Natural Drake Bay Hotel Boutique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Natural-Drake-Bay-Boutique-Hotel.h100431716.Hotel-Information) > > [La Cusinga Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-La-Cusinga-Lodge.h9711849.Hotel-Information) > > [Macaw Lodge ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carara-Hotels-Macaw-Lodge-An-Authentic-Ecolodge.h6778240.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > > [Maquenque Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boca-Arenal-Hotels-Maquenque-Eco-Lodge.h4147006.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hideaway Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-The-Hideaway-Hotel.h11027376.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tranquilo Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-The-Tranquilo-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36517873.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Costa Paraiso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Costa-Paraiso.h38744058.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Juana Lodge and Nature Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Santa-Juana-Lodge-And-Nature-Reserve.h10501821.Hotel-Information) > > [Hideaway Rio Celeste](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Katira-Hotels-Hotel-Rio-Celeste-Hideaway.h3858533.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Escape Caribeño](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels-Hotel-Escape-Caribeno.h12310729.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Rio Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Villas-Rio-Mar.h66109.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Amavi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Amavi.h103597450.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Costa Rica Surf Camp by SUPERbrand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Costa-Rica-Surf-Camp-By-SUPERbrand.h17702230.Hotel-Information) > > [Iguana Lodge Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Iguana-Lodge-Spa-Beach-Resort.h6882446.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabañas del Rio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Cabanas-Del-Rio.h22951676.Hotel-Information) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Sarapiqui Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarapiqui-Hotels-La-Quinta-Sarapiqui-Lodge.h18261717.Hotel-Information) > > [Selva Verde Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarapiqui-Hotels-Selva-Verde-Lodge.h4139642.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [Tiki Villas Rainforest Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Tiki-Villas-Rainforest-Lodge-Spa.h8126251.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [Cristal Ballena Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Cristal-Ballena-Boutique-Hotel-Spa.h1386896.Hotel-Information) > > [Vista Ballena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Vista-Ballena.h10617842.Hotel-Information) ---
