Unmemorable
Pros:

The staff were mostly friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a drink in the bar by the lagoon. The small local gifts each evening were a nice touch. We really enjoyed the night walk we booked through the hotel.

Cons:

We had one evening meal in the restaurant and it was very disappointing. Not at all what we had been expecting from a top priced hotel. Bland, overcooked and unseasoned food. Worst meal of our trip so far. The following night we went to family run Tingos at the bottom of the hill and had a delicious meal. Same story at a similar priced nearby hotel.
Breakfast was somewhat better with several options.
As per other guests’ comments, we were in a separate building away from the main hotel which was dated. The room was cold, draughty and very noisy. We didn’t sleep well.

A Very Enjoyable Stay With Excellent Service, Good Food, Drinks & Tours
Pros:

Room 22 is in the main hotel block directly below the restaurant and overlooks the sloping gardens towards the west, so it's good for sunsets.
The service was top quality throughout.
If you like Hendricks & Tonic, this is a must here. Be patient as it gets constructed...
We didn't dine but did have the Nachos with chicken which was excellent and a meal in itself.
The gardens, lake and microbrewery are good.
We did 3 tours through the hotel. The first was the evening forest immersion which started out a bit slowly but livened up significantly with the rope bridge, tree climb and subsequent rapelle down the tree in the dark. The second tour was bird watching with guide Daniel, which started in the hotel garden, continued over breakfast on the balcony before driving to the Curi Cancha reserve (this being an alternative venue to the default Savia venue). Daniel logged every bird and shared it with the group.
Lastly we did the Finca Madre horse riding tour, which could be challenging depending on your riding skills and willingness of your horse (mine was a total challenge).

Cons:

The room was a simple box with a patio door, rather lacking in character, unlike the public areas which fitted the Alpine chalet style.
The bathroom layout, particularly the toilet, was odd. It would benefit from a nightlight so you don't have to use the bright, main light at night.
Also the shower, although good, doesn't have a hand held head, which the ladies prefer.
The breakfast is a la carte with some unusual "sandwhiches", some of which work, but others didn't.
There needs to be signs for the hotel turning on the main road. The unmade track beside the garage doesn't seem the right way to access an up market hotel.

Very poor for a Suite in the 2nd best hotel in Monteverde
Pros:

The views

Cons:

- Suite accessibility wasn’t great (ours was in a separate building, on 2nd floor, only stairs to get to it
- Road behind made it noisy and car lights reflected in (curtains not black-out and not even on all windows)
- Very windy (can’t help that), but not well soundproofed and lots of drafts - also no heating or a/c! I had some very bad sleep and the wind would wake me up in the night!
- Bathroom was very poor - look like a concrete room, many drafts again and no heating!
- Suite had a whirlpool on the balcony, which was pointless for Monteverde, and the jets didn’t even work!
- Hotel was jacuzzi was a long distance from our Suite
- Dirty old sofa in the bedroom and weirdly; in the shower too!

Gemütliches Hotel mit wunderbarem Blick
Pros:

Sehr gemütliches, geschichtträchtiges Hotel mit wunderbarer Sicht auf den Pazifik. Yoga Stunden war cool. Wir hatten ein sehr schönes Zimmer mit einem Balkon. Sehr nettes Personal.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war etwas spärlich und der Service wenig aufmerksam für den hohen Preis. Am ersten Tag mussten wir ein paar Mal nachfragen für die Früchte. Dann kam eine kleine Schale, die wir uns teilen mussten. Dito am zweiten Tag. Der Avocado Toast war sehr fein.

Fabulous stay in a wonderful hotel with friendly staff
Pros:

The location was fantastic, close to the Monteverde reserve, walking distance to some lovely restaurants although some were a little further.
Breakfast was delicious, loads of choice and a selection of sides/fruit/hot drinks etc included. Lovely view over the lake and towards the sea from the restaurant.
We had dinner here once and it was very good quality.
Also highly recommend Tramonti pizzeria nearby for food and views.

What a lovely little jewel of a hotel. We regret staying for only two nights.
Pros:

Literally everything from the moment we stepped in. The room, the amenities, the staff, the food, the massage and yoga, and the breathtaking location in beautiful Monteverde.

Cons:

Nothing we can think of.
