The lodge offers a simple nice breakfast. Dinner is also available if you confirm - we chose to eat off property. The road to arrive is extremely rough - potholes, less than two lanes at times - but worth it once you arrive. There was no TV in our room, I suggest making certain you have games or other entertainment. I also suggest planning to arrive back at the lodge early evening, before it gets too dark, but only due to the road. Don't let any part of my review scare you. This was our second stay. They now have a hanging bridge company and zip line company off their same road - easy access to adventure outside of the waterfall hike accessible from the lodge. ##### Carrie Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### James 9 Dec 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Hotel was vacant.

Das Vista Verde Lodge Hotel liegt an einem Hang mit Ausblick auf die Landschaft und den Arenal-Vulkan. Morgens kann man vom Zimmer aus den Sonnenaufgang beobachten, sehr schön. Die Zimmer sind geräumig, müssten aber mal modernisiert werden. Das Duschen war erfrischend, die Temperatur des "warmen" Wassers zwingt einen dazu, sehr schnell zu duschen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Küche sehr gut. Das größte Problem ist allerdings, zum Hotel zu kommen! Wir hatten einen normalen Mietwagen, unglücklicherweise wird hier bei der Hotelbeschreibung nicht darauf hingewiesen, dass man eigentlich nur mit einem Geländewagen zum Vista Verde Lodge kommt, denn die Straße zum sehr abgelegenen Hotel ist eigentlich nicht fahrzeugtauglich, höchstens für einen Traktor! Den Weg als Schotterpiste zu betiteln, ist noch geschmeichelt. Extreme Schlaglöcher, riesige Steine, man muss teilweise mit 5 km/h einen Slalom fahren und wird ordentlich durchgerüttelt. Also: wer sich für das Vista Verde Lodge entscheidet, UNBEDINGT einen Mietagen mit Allrad-Antrieb nehmen! Generell können wir das Hotel aber empfehlen, denn Lage und Ausblick entschädigen für die holprige Anfahrt. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1132-p503299d0-28e7-11e8-9b80-6a03179474b2-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1333-p272d3270-28e7-11e8-9b80-6a03179474b2-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s176-p157362c0-28e7-11e8-9b80-6a03179474b2-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Marcus Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing view!!

Found a cook in the kitchen making dinner for her daughter who, with sign language and broken English ( we unfortunately do not speak (Spanish) that closed and we should go. ##### Pat Stayed 1 night in Feb 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Meghna 1 Jan 2018 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Decent cabins; very friendly staff A decent place to stay. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We got to the hotel after their kitchen has closed, but they were kind enough to accommodate us and cooked a hearty dinner for us. Its close to selvtura park and sky adventure, but a 20 min drive to downtown. The road up to the hotel is a dirt road. ##### Meghna Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### sanjay 30 Dec 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lodge in cloud forest! No hot water at all! Water leaked under one wall from outside. Beds were big and comfortable. No real furniture besides beds. Access to lodge is one if the most terrible road I have ever driven! You are better off staying at regular hotel in Monteverde. ##### sanjay Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Estelle 8 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Vue à couper le souffle.

Manager is very nice and did everything to make our stay Pleasant. He helped with transport and booking tours and even helped us get home to guanacaste as we were let down by shuttle company. The hotel is having maintanence as we speak which should help as is in need of it. It is a 15 dollar taxi to saint elena but near to Selvatura and manager dropped us there for an excellent day !!Beautiful view of Arenal lake and volcano and a nice breakfast. Thanks eulogy for looking after us. See you again soon Ted and Emma. ##### Edward Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 22 Mar 2017 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Perfect alternative to the usual Tourist Trail Rustic no-frills hotel with the best view in town (Well, out of town!) The staff are friendly and will cook a lovely meal for dinner if you want. It's a few kilometres from the main town and we found the road bumpy but easily accessible with a 2WD car. The location may be too remote for some, but that's what interested us in the first place! Being up in the mountains you will need a jacket to stay warm at night, but the beds are warm and comfortable. Conveniently located near to the Santa Elena Reserve and several zip lining companies, plus they also have their own jungle trails to explore. The WiFi is patchy, available only from the main dining room/reception area and requires some patience. Our bathroom was clean, and the water hot enough. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 6 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I loved the location! Rooms were clean, staff helpful. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 21 Feb 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### If you want it take it Its a very special youthhostal standard, with a marveles viewing at the Arenal ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 12 Feb 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very disappointed Where do I start. The room. If you show pictures of a nice bath tub, it would get nice if there was hot water to actually use it. No heat in the room. We literally had to stay in bed to stay warm. No place to sit and enjoy the view should you happen to see it so a small table and chairs would have been nice. No wifi in the room we were in. That was not a big deal but should be clear in the listing. In the main lodge, if you have a wood burning stove that is used for heat, use it. You should not be able to see your breath while seated at breakfast. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Eva 4 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Hyfsat boende i fantastisk natur Bodde här 2 nätter. Rum med fantastiskt utsikt när inte molnen täcket allt vilket det gjorde en stor del av tiden. Liten chans att se Arenalvulkanen. Svalt utomhus, runt 16 grader som varmast. Även rummet var svalt ca 15-16 grader nattetid. Fanns dock varma täcken så det var inga problem att sova gott. Väldigt fuktigt klimat både inne och ute pga läget i molnskogen. Lyhört från intilliggande rum men i övrigt lugnt och fridfullt. Bra frukost som ingick. Restaurang som serverade bra mat till hyfsat pris. Trevlig personal. Väldigt dålig väg för att ta sig hit, ca 6km men tar 30 min att köra. 4wd nödvändigt. ##### Eva Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Phillip 22 Dec 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice Staff Building is beginning to get run down, there was no hot water this was a nature mountain top trip for wildlife. I am happy we did not book more than the one night ##### Phillip ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotel Amavi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Amavi.h103597450.Hotel-Information) > - [La Quinta Sarapiqui Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sarapiqui-Hotels-La-Quinta-Sarapiqui-Lodge.h18261717.Hotel-Information) > - [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > - [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > - [Toad Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Arenal-Hotels-Toad-Hall-Hotel.h11685037.Hotel-Information) > - [Natural Drake Bay Hotel Boutique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drake-Bay-Hotels-Natural-Drake-Bay-Boutique-Hotel.h100431716.Hotel-Information) > - [Kenaki Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cahuita-Hotels-Kenaki-Lodge.h8460922.Hotel-Information) > - [Costa Paraiso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Costa-Paraiso.h38744058.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) > - [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > - [Arenal Waterfall Lodge Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-GreenLagoon-Arenal-Waterfall-Villas.h1823811.Hotel-Information) > - [La Cusinga Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-La-Cusinga-Lodge.h9711849.Hotel-Information) > - [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > - [Ecolirios Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Guacimo-Hotels-Ecolirios-Boutique-Hotel-And-Spa.h32864539.Hotel-Information) > - [Costa Rica Surf Camp by SUPERbrand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Costa-Rica-Surf-Camp-By-SUPERbrand.h17702230.Hotel-Information) > - [Tiki Villas Rainforest Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Tiki-Villas-Rainforest-Lodge-Spa.h8126251.Hotel-Information) > - [Iguana Lodge Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Iguana-Lodge-Spa-Beach-Resort.h6882446.Hotel-Information) > - [Chayote Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naranjo-Hotels-Chayote-Lodge.h9716642.Hotel-Information) > - [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > - [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > - [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > - [Hideaway Rio Celeste](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Katira-Hotels-Hotel-Rio-Celeste-Hideaway.h3858533.Hotel-Information) > - [Cabañas del Rio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Cabanas-Del-Rio.h22951676.Hotel-Information) > - [Cristal Ballena Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Cristal-Ballena-Boutique-Hotel-Spa.h1386896.Hotel-Information) > - [Maquenque Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boca-Arenal-Hotels-Maquenque-Eco-Lodge.h4147006.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Escape Caribeño](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels-Hotel-Escape-Caribeno.h12310729.Hotel-Information) > - [Vista Ballena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dominical-Hotels-Vista-Ballena.h10617842.Hotel-Information) > - [The Hideaway Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-The-Hideaway-Hotel.h11027376.Hotel-Information) ---
