Beautiful setting in the cloudforest
Site exceptionnel, jardin dépaysant et personnel aux petits soins
Piscine un peu petite
Beautiful property in the rain forest with little cottages. Ours had a hot dipping pool - which was awesome given the cooler evenings and after a long hike. Beautiful view and excellent (!) breakfast - the staff is extremely accommodating and kind.
The staff is friendly, professional, and very well trained. Everyone we interacted with spoke excellent English. We also received an upgrade to a larger room because the hotel wasn’t totally full – this turned out to be very nice (we really appreciated it and thanked the hotel for this) because we ended up staying more time in the room than we’d expect due to weather conditions... and I think we planned for more days than necessary for Monteverde.
We also had dinner at the hotel one evening. The food was good—certainly above the average quality we found in Monteverde. It is expensive (more on that below), but the execution and service were better than what you get in town.
The biggest issue isn't Koora itself—it's the perception of value. To be fair, this is a much broader Monteverde problem.
To put things in context: we as a family travel frequently, from Aspen, Courchevel and Lech to adventure destinations like Torres del Paine. We spend more on those trips, yet the perceived value is dramatically higher.
The issue isn't the absolute cost—this was actually one of our cheaper vacations. It's paying US$11 for a mediocre glass of hospitality quality wine, US$9 for a local beer, US$6 for an espresso, or US$30 for a simple chicken-and-rice meal. These aren't luxury restaurants; they're often very basic roadside places. Activities are similar: the zip-line parks are fun, but many cost about the same as a Disney ticket (note: Disney is not our vibe, but we've been and perception of value is way higher).
Ironically, after seeing the prices elsewhere, Koora itself no longer felt expensive. In relative terms, it offers better value than many restaurants and activities in Monteverde.
Our biggest disappointment at the hotel was breakfast. For a property of this caliber, limiting guests to a single menu item—and charging extra for virtually everything else, even cappuccinos (coffee and milks are the same ingredients!)—feels unnecessarily stingy. My wife ordered a fried egg, was still hungry, but decided against ordering another because it would have cost almost US$20 for two eggs. It left us with the impression that the hotel was trying to maximize every extra dollar rather than provide a premium experience. So cheap...
A sauna or proper spa would also be a welcome addition given the hotel's positioning. The heated pool was pleasant, but relatively small for the number of rooms.
Overall, Koora is one of the better hotels in Monteverde. But just come prepared: Monteverde is one of the most "expensive" (for the value) places I've ever been.
This place is truly magical between the natural beauty, wildlife, comfortable accommodations and amazing staff. I really appreciated every effort that was made by the staff to make our stay exceptional. On our last day I was asking if they had any recommendations so I could show my daughter some monkeys. Jeaustin found me a little later to let me know there were white faced monkeys right outside my room. It really made my trip to see my daughters face when she saw the monkeys. Also, Allison greeted us at every meal and knew each of our names and my husbands dietary restrictions (gluten free). The food was the best we had in Costa Rica. Don’t miss the Natuwa animal sanctuary next door. It was incredible and we had sloths climbing right next to us on the hand railing.
Everything was great.
Allt. Helt underbart!
The staff is lovely and we enjoyed breakfast
The road up is rocky and unpaved, unlit, and to then get to rooms is a 5 minute walk after that. With kids and the daily rain, not ideal (wouldn’t recommend Monteverde with kids younger than 10 years old). The rooms were not as clean as they should be, there was paint on curtains, hairs in the corners and crumbs under the rug, windows dusty. Very little room to store clothes and belongings. A safe that was not mounted. Toilet paper holder loose in the wall. The price of the rooms is just really not worth it. Pools are plunge not swim, and many of rooms are not stand alone cabins but rooms in buildings while photos give the impression of single units. At half of the cost the price/quality would be balanced.
Todo, y sobre todo el restaurante y el
Personal
En la habitación hacia frío y el sistema de aire acondicionado no funcionaba en modo calefacción
Todo es espectacular. Las habitaciones, el servicio, el entorno..... Todo de 10. Si volvemos, repetiremos sin duda.
Nada
Our rooms were upgraded and we had an amazing hot plunge pool.
Staff were excellent. After zip lining my daughters white shorts were very dirty and they laundered them complimentary.
We organised a night walk via the hotel which was good.
Breakfast and evening meals very good.
Sta
Pool very small and a long way from the main building.
Netjes en aardig personeel
De plunge pools lagen ver van onze kamers en waren klein
Hotel espetacular, quarto extremamente limpo, bem decorado e aconchegante (cama muito confortável), além de oferecer pequenas surpresas que deixaram a experiência ainda melhor
Muy bonito hotel. Muy buena ubicación. La comida fue excelente y el desayuno incluido estaba genial.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel — without a doubt the highlight of our entire trip.
The location is fantastic, perfectly situated and surrounded by beautiful nature. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. They truly go above and beyond, always thinking along with you, offering help where needed, and doing it all with genuine kindness and a smile.
Everything was spotless. You can really tell how much care and attention goes into maintaining the hotel.
Breakfast was exceptional — à la carte with a wide variety of options, perfectly sized portions, and everything tasted amazing. Fresh coffee and juices completed the experience beautifully.
We stayed in one of the “treehouse-style” accommodations, which was simply stunning. Spread over two floors, very spacious, and such a unique and special place to stay.
The pool is on the smaller side, but honestly more than enough to cool off and relax after a day of exploring.
In the evenings, we loved gathering around the campfire — such a cozy atmosphere. The children especially enjoyed roasting marshmallows, which was a lovely and thoughtful touch.
We also booked an evening tour through the hotel, which we highly recommend. Our guide was incredibly friendly and made the experience even more memorable.
All in all, this was truly the most beautiful and special hotel of our entire trip. We would return in a heartbeat.
Está en medio de la naturaleza, muy tranquilo. Cad habitación tiene muchísima privacidad con respecto a las vecinas. Habitaciones y cama comodisimas. El personal muy muy amable.
Le falta un gimnasio.
Absolutely fabulous place, with great rooms, and outstanding views. Immersed in nature.
Excellent customer service who couldn’t do enough for you, and the food was brilliant
Nothing
Beautiful, clean, stunning property with Natuwa reserve and sanctuary next door. Restaurant food was lovely and staff very friendly.
Wish we had stayed more than 2 nights.
