Great place to stay! Staff very knowledgeable of the area and willing to help. My room was very nice. Night winds were high so it was a bit loud. Nothing the hotel can change, just part of the area. Just something to be aware of in the area.
Très bel endroit et très belle vue sur Monteverde et les montagnes. Plusieurs espaces commun. Déjeuners copieux et complets. Personnel très disponible et qui facilite le processus de réservation des activités. La cuisine commune est très petite, mais on s’y fait et tout le nécessaire pour cuisiner y est.
We booked the larger rooms, which were great, except for the beds are pretty hard and so are the pillows. Also the wind really blows through the property, just because of its location, so if you are a light sleeper, you better have ear plugs. Breakfast was awesome. All staff were very friendly and informative.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The room was clean. But the beds are very hard. It felt like sleeping on the floor. The breakfast is the most limited I’ve experienced in Costa Rica, you have no options, pancakes covered with powdered sugar and eggs.
The front desk staff was friendly but that’s it. Oh and no hot or warm water in the bath sink, your only option is cold.
We would not stay again.
Check in was easy and fast. Both of the gentlemen working at the front desk were extremely helpful, with tours or anything else. They both spoke English which benefited me greatly. Wifi was very fast and extremely hot water.
The service was excellent. They were very informative and communication was great. It is located at walking distance from the center of town. Monteverde was amazing!
Great view and excellent front desk staff! The bed was a very firm temperpedic type foam which slept hot. My friends had a few roaches in their rooms. The breakfast was fairly good in the morning as well.
The room was great a little dated with the art but no big deal. The common kitchen was good fridges were very clean, only downfall was only one burner was working for cooking. The common areas were amazing. Walking distance to down town also. Down the street is a little store where an older man hand makes beautifl jewerely and very reasonably priced we went back a second time to grab some things for friends it is a must stop!
The staff were very nice & helpful. The food was great. The room we stayed in was very uncomfortable; beds were very hard and it was very noisy. This was partially due to high winds but also lots of loose construction items banging around all night. It was very economical
Stay was amazing, the staff were incredible, the food was top shelf, the rooms were super clean with nice view, the location was great. I would highly recommend it and would go back in a heart bea!
The views are stunning when it is clear but being on top of the hill it was very windy. The wind howled around the Windows all night and we could not sleep. The Windows were poorly fitted and the wind was even coming in the electrical sockets
We stayed in a new renovated private bedroom with private bathroom. The room was recently renovated so the bed was nice and clean. But the bathroom was horrible since it had an open gap on the ceiling. The water pressure was terrible for hot water.
Eric was an awesome host, he gave us great recommendations for tours. He was very friendly and helpful.
Erick, the concierge, was amazing at helping us plan things to do on monteverde. The room was large and had everything we needed, the view was incredible. The condition of room could have been a little better, but my husband and I didn't seem to mind. Great location, can walk to center of town in 5 mins or less. Otherwise amazing service, breakfast and people at cabinas vista al golfo.
The front desk person, Eric, was extremely helpful; he helped us organize our transportation to our tour and even taught us some typical Tico slang as he showed us around the property. The people in the breakfast areas were very nice as well. We stayed in a deluxe room with a kitchenette and a private bathroom in the two story building next to the main motel. The view was amazing, being able to see the city and the valley out to the Pacific Ocean. The room itself was large, but out of date. The bed was hard and unforgiving, and the pillows were flat and uncomfortable. The weather ruined the stay for us, and due to the age of the windows and door, they rattled relentlessly as the wind blew for our two days we stayed there. We got no sleep at all; there was no comfort there.
