Een uitstekend verblijf in de natuur van het gebied Monte Verde, korte rijafstand naar Santa Elena
Pros:

Fijne ontvangst en een prachtige ligging van de bungalows. Daarnaast is het leuk om een stukje te wandelen over het complex, zie wandelroute met uitleg over oorsprong en natuur.

Cons:

De ontbijtruimte is niet bijzonder, een beetje kaal. Wat aankleding zou geen overbodige luxe zijn. Daarnaast is het ontbijt zelf ook karig.

Part of nature in Monteverde
Pros:

The staff went above and beyond to provide information and help us with anything we needed (booking tours, laundry, calling a taxi). The grounds are very pretty, you feel part of nature - we loved listening to the birds every morning and evening. Small pool is pleasant. There’s a nice, typical Costa Rican restaurant very close to La Pradera.

Cons:

Not a dislike bit a note that the location itself is out of town with a very steep hill leading to town which is not a problem if you have a car or call a taxi.

Gezellig park met knusse huisjes
Pros:

Gezellig huisje op een mooi park met een aangelegd pad. Veel planten en dieren. Fijne locatie om dingen in de omgeving te ondernemen.

Cons:

Er was geen airco (gelukkig hadden we deze niet nodig). Huisje was wat gedateerd. Koelkast lekte, keuken wel compleet, maar allemaal wat oud.

Geweldig!!
Pros:

Het terrein, zo veel te doen en te zien. Verschillende paden om te wandelen. Veel vruchten,bloemen,bomen en dieren. Ook nog een doolhof. Fijn huisje, ruim, 2 badkamers, grote koelkast. Volledige inventaris keuken. Lekker bankje buiten. Vlakbij Santa Elena 5 min met de auto. Voor ons veel leuker dan Monteverde.

Cons:

Niets.

Perfect spot to stay in Monteverde.
Pros:

What a gorgeous property! The trails were so much fun, we could have spent our days just there. Our kids loved the friendly dogs (Kira!) who hung out with us and everyone was so kind.

Great location for all activities, staying right in the heart of nature. Great place to reset.
Pros:

Loved living surrounded by nature. Loved the sounds of the jungle and all the cool birds and animals we saw. Breakfast outside everyday was a thing of beauty. We were in a great location too for all our trips. The kids enjoyed the pool at the end of each day to relax after an all action holiday.

Cons:

Nothing we were happy.

Heerlijke Cabaña in prachtige natuur
Pros:

de parkachtige tuin is briljant! De behulpzame eigenaars zijn plezierig in de omgang. Een beheerste rustige sfeer midden in de natuur met iedere ochtend bezoek van de Agoeti. En de honden Kira en Apollo natuurlijk 🤗
En niet te vergeten de goede Soda die net naast het park ligt. Zeker aandoen!

Cons:

Het ligt natuurlijk afgelegen maar daar kom je juist voor. En de inrichting is vrij basic maar voldeed voor ons prima.

Highlight of our trip to Costa Rica
Pros:

Arriving here felt like we were walking into a Disney movie - two baby squirrels were climbing on the owner, and subsequently befriended us and kept following us and climbing on us too! (Usually we are strict about not touching wildlife but in this case, they started it!). We were also regularly visited by the sweetest dog I've ever encountered, named Kira. The beds were comfy, rooms enormous, we were given a free upgrade when we arrived, the grounds were stunning, staff were helpful and friendly, and the facilities were great.

Cons:

Nothing! It was all excellent and I wish we could have stayed longer.
