Nice resort and the focus on the environment and nature was a bit different for us. Recommended for families.
Pros:

Focus on the environment and nature. Rooms were nice and staff all friendly too. Breathtaking views and sunsets.

Cons:

The restaurant had a limited variety on the menu and we decided to eat out after 2 days.

Ein tolles Hotel mit sehr freundlichen Angstellten
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt wunderschön etwas ausserhalb von Monteverde und Santa Elena gelegen. Wir habe am Abend an einer Nachttour teilgenommen, welche das Hotel anbietet und im hauseigenen „Nationalpark“ Taranteln, eine Skorpion, und diverse Insekten gsehen. Unser Guide wär sehr freundlich und hat uns viel über deren Lebensraum und Verhalten erklärt.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war etwas kühl und feucht, dies ist aber wahrscheindlich dem Klima, welches in Monteverde herrscht geschuldet.

Pros:

Prachtige omgeving en rustige ligging.
Vroegere check-in geen probleem.
Prachtig uitzicht op het terras over de vallei en enkele mooie wandeltrials op domein zelf ter beschikking.
Vele neusberen kunnen spotten en leuk vlindermuseum vlakbij aan ingang van domein.

Cons:

Superior kamer die we toegewezen kregen enkel op gelijkvloers wat we spijtig vonden.Enkel zicht op miniem tuintje.6
Reservatie voor diner in restaurant complex en enkel mogelijk op vastgelegde tijdstippen owv groepsreserveringen.
Afstand naar centrum iets te ver van + vele steile hellingen.(eigen vervoer of taxi aangewezen)

Pros:

Très bel emplacement, très joli balade à faire au sein de l hôtel. Magnifique vue. Personnel extrêmement agréable, avec un accueil vraiment chaleureux. La chambre était agréable avec 2 lits et des matelas très confortable pour dormir. Il y a tout ce qu’il faut pour poser ses valises.

Cons:

Le bruit des coursives métalliques sur lesquels une dizaine d enfants courraient dès 6 heures du matin et jusqu’à 22h… sans intervention d adultes.
La salle de bain manquait d une bonne aération, il était impossible de se doucher sans tout mouiller partout.
Nous avons mangé un midi au restaurant, nous avons trouvé les plats chers et tout petit, mon mari avait pris des pâtes, elles étaient servies dans une assiette à dessert, on aurait dit un menu enfant.

Lage und Ambiente sehr gut.
Pros:

Die Lage war außergewöhnlich schön. Monteverde insgesamt ist mit seinen Wäldern wunderbar. Auch das Hotel mit seiner Farm und Gärten ist etwas ganz besonderes.

Cons:

Der Service im Restaurant ist unorganisiert und chaotisch. Das Personal war auch unaufmerksam und es waren häufige Aufforderungen erforderlich.
