Pros:

Beautiful grounds. Huge rooms. Large heated pool and hot tub. Nice nature trail near by. Lots of different food selections at the restaurant and pub on site. You can walk to the entrance of the nature reserve. It is just to the right of the hotel entrance and five minutes up the hill. We really enjoyed our time there.

Cons:

Nothing

Nice place to stay for two nights.
Pros:

The room was HUGE and clean. The hotel is very spread out on different buildings. The view from my room (#40) was ok. The trees were nice to look at but there is no panoramic view. Nothing to complain about.

The location of the hotel is 5 minutes drive from the Cloud Forest Reserve.

Cons:

Nothing.

Definitely a place to look into if you're going to Monteverde.
Pros:

Everything about this place was exceptional, the staff, the large room with a nice view, the toiletries, the location (conveniently located near Monteverde and all the activities), the restaurant (breakfast and dinner) was really good, cozy bar area with a pool table.
I also walked the 1 mile trail around their property and it was awesome (saw bunch of monkeys!)

Cons:

Nothing.
