Schöner Aufenthalt in guter Lage in Monteverde.
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal. Schöne Lage. Mitten im Ort. Viele Restaurants in der Nähe. Gratis Parkplatz auf dem Hotelgelände. Sehr gutes Frühstück mit herrlichen lokalen Früchten.

Cons:

Gebuchtes Zimmer war sehr klein. Es wurde sofort ein um 30% teureres Zimmer als Ersatz angeboten!? Kein Restaurant im Hotel. Kein Pool.

Rapport qualité-prix honteux
Pros:

Le petit déjeuner

Cons:

La chambre, ainsi que la nuisance sonore de la route principale de la ville, qui longe l'hôtel

Eine wunderschöne Anlage und gelebte Pura Vida
Pros:

Das Personal war unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück fantastisch. Als Alleinreisende war ich dort bestens aufgehoben, und ich kann die Unterkunft nur empfehlen. 🙏

Cons:

Es regnete leider sehr, wofür die Unterkunft nichts konnte. Aber man sollte sich besser vorbereiten, als ich es tat. Solide Regenausrüstung wird auch bei allen Outdoor-Aktivitäten benötigt, da sich das Wetter wirklich schnell verändern kann.

Very comfortable room. No frills.
Pros:

Loved the property with the fruit trees growing, beautiful flowers and plants and a capuchin monkey family living in the trees. Staff was lovely; Bernardo at the front desk was very helpful and gave us some excellent suggestions on where to eat and places to visit. The ladies who made breakfast every morning were great. So nice to get eggs made to order plus a full array of breakfast buffet.

Cons:

Nothing really

Pros:

Bel environnement, au calme, à 1km de la place. Bon et copieux petit déjeuner préparé à l'assiette. La piscine est petite mais suffisante et très bucolique au milieu de la végétation

Cons:

5 mois avant ma venue j'ai réservé une chambre à deux lits. Seulement 2 jours avant notre arrivée jai été informé que celle-ci n'était pas disponible. Ce n'est pas correct. Les lits sont petits (140). Mon épouse et moi, qui avons l'habitude de lits séparés, avons très mal dormi.

Pros:

Très belle propriété dans la végétation tout en étant à proximité immédiate du centre ville. Les chambres sont nettoyées tous les jours et les serviettes changées. Petit déjeuner varié et copieux

Cons:

Les fenêtres ne sont pas totalement étanches et il n'y a pas de volets. Cela provoque des petites entrées d'air en cas de vent

Would stay here again
Pros:

Beautiful lodgings and amazing staff. It’s a peaceful oasis in the middle of town- very central location. The breakfast was incredible and so much wildlife around.

An idyllic hotel, from which to explore a beautiful part of Costa Rica.
Pros:

The grounds were an absolute delight to walk through every day and the whole place had a homely feel. Our room (Standard) was very comfortable with space and good facilities. We were made very welcome when we arrived, even being made a cup of English style tea! Breakfast was the best we had during our entire trip and catered for all tastes. Appropriately, we also saw a rainbow (Arco Iris) every day!

Cons:

Leaving!
