It is a little far from town and the road was not the best. The room did not have air conditioning or a dehumidifier so it was not as comfortable as it could have been. Did not use the pool but it looked nice.

Restaurant is overpriced. Hot tubs were out of order during our visit and we found out the hard way that tre “standard” rooms are too small and cramped.

The room itself was very clean and comfortable. We happen to be there during a very windy days and we could hear the wind in the room. It was SUPER windy and we could definitely hear it all. Also, they were doing work on the pool which was close to our room...and every morning at 6am when the workers came in there was A LOT of noise: them yelling, banging, etc... So, it impacted our stay for sure. We didn't sleep to well. Plus, we didn't have access to the pool because they were working on it. ##### Heidy Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Caitlyn 25 Nov 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property location is beautiful, but the hotel needs a major renovation. Our room was old, tired, and the bathroom had a clogged drain with cold standing water in the shower when we arrived. There were broken towel racks and things in the room, and it was dark and run down. The two hot tubs did not work. There was poor lighting on the path to walk to our room. The food was limited and not great. Wifi did not work at times. There was a water system issue with no water one night too. ##### Caitlyn Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil 12 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I wish I could give Fonda Vela 6 out of 5. The road from Santa Elana was fun, take your time you'll get there. The property was spectacular. Properly placed to enjoy every sunset. About a 25 minutes walk up to Monte Verde Park. Our room was recently renovated and was beautiful. The local coffee in the room was delicious. Beds, shower, views were all perfect. The restaurant on site makes you not want to look any further. Dinner was fantastic. Try the coffee ice cream. Breakfast is included and will prep you for your day of exploration. Freddy (I think his name was) was a gracious host at the restaurant. He even included us in the feeding of Matéo the hotel monkey. The desk can help you book local tours etc. They set us up for ziplining. The property is truely in the clouds. Early mornings and after sunset the mist comes in and makes this property truely magical. If my wife and I ever head back to Monte Verde we will definitely stay here again. ##### Neil Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabine 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wunderschöne Anlage, geräumige Zimmer, großer Pool, gutes Frühstück - hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt! ##### Sabine Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela 29 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Most comfortable beds!!!
