Great setting and service, but run-down facility

Jaguarundi resembles staying at a summer camp--beautiful setting, but the facility is run-down and not well maintained. The hotel is set in the woods and there is a 1 km hiking trail where I saw coatis, agoutis, and several colorful birds. But the room charm ends with the wood paneling in the rooms--there was no heat or extra blankets in my room, the toilets didn't flush well, the showers ran out of hot water easily, and the light fixtures were rusted. The property is extremely hilly and, if you're not in the main lodge, is difficult to navigate if you're unfit or have heavy bags. The service was GREAT! Manfred was a huge help in terms of explaining the facility and helping me plan activities while I was in Monteverde. The property isn't worth what they charge per night, but if you're looking for a summer camp vibe in Monteverde for a couple of nights with really good service, this place works.

The greatest. Nicest staff, remote location with walking trails yet easily walkable to the center of Monteverde (which is a cool little mountain town). Getting there earns you triple traveler points.

This property was right in the trees/jungle and we saw Howler monkeys, Capuchin monkeys, and Quatimundi right from our front porch. That was magical. It was noisy at night at times because of the wildlife, but still worth it. The place was clean, nice, and the people very helpful.

The room is clean and dark so good for sleeping. The walls are a bit thin if you are super sensitive to noise. You have to walk awhile for breakfast (but you could drive), so if you have an elderly person, it could be a bit of a walk! But the breakfast is pretty nice and the view is really nice. This is right in town. There’s a fun bridge to walk to for going to some of the rooms and nature is all around—you might see monkeys or toucans if you get up on the earlier side. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. You will want to be friends with them!

Nice cabin-style rooms in dense foliage, yet within a few blocks walking distance to: an excellent restaurant and craft cocktail bar (Natu Speakeasy), a fun leafy sportsbar with live entertainment (Tree House), and delicious coffee, sandwiches and pastries (at Zuccaro). The hotel bar, restaurant and breakfast area were also terrific. Special thanks to front desk receptionist Manfred who was so helpful in sharing ideas to explore that beautiful area. Definitely plan to return.

La jungle à proximité de Monteverde

Nous avons aimé l’endroit. Les bâtiments sont immergés dans la jungle tout en étant près des activités de Monteverde. Malheureusement, de notre côté, nous avons eu des nuits difficiles puisque les branches cognaient continuellement sur notre toiture, nous empêchant de dormir. Ce fut réparé après la deuxième nuit. L’endroit est simple mais très propre. Parfait pour observer les oiseaux le matin. De plus, il y a un petit sentier agréable sur le site, qui n’est pas très long. Les déjeuners sont servis par l’hôtel associé (le Ficus). C’est une des meilleures tables de la région, de plus, la vue est magnifique.

Jaguarundi was a real disappointment on our trip. We had booked a superior cabin at an expensive rate. The cabin was basic and unclean with dirt on the walls and in the bathroom. The mattresses were poor quality and were dirty, as was the bed linen. There were also dangerous concrete paths to get to the cabins which were steep and slippy. The one & only redeeming factor about this place is its location next to Santa Elena. I would not recommend this as a place to stay.

We checked in on the last afternoon. Upon arriving at the hotel, we were greeted by howler monkeys in the parking lot! Just hanging out above the cars, in the trees. It was a very cool sight. The reception clerk was very friendly and informative about the property and things to do in the area. Including walking the hotels wilderness trail that's right on the property. We took advantage of this right before sunset. It's beautiful. Only about 1 mile of trail, but full of trees, rustic paths and were told, animals. We didn't see any at this time. We dinner at the Ficus Hotel which is connected to the grounds here. It was a beautiful setting. My husband enjoyed his sandwich. My steak was not cooked well and very tough to eat, so i did not. I asked for it to be cooked more and it was returned to me the same. Quite raw. But we would try the place again, just not having the steak. You need a reservation, so ask the reception clerk to set this up for you. The cabin is quite peaceful. It feels as is you're staying in a jungle! The wildlife sounds all around you. When it trains, it's a lovely, calming sound. We slept well here. It is near to all of the nightlife and shopping in the area. Walk to everything. We recommend this place.
