This is hands down the best hotel i or my family have ever stayed at and I travel a lot. The property is in a very serene setting, rooms are immaculate and have amazing views (we had two floors with a bedroom in each floor). Ther service was the winner. They memorize your entire families name and greet you by your name, they help with all tour bookings and the restaurant is world class. We ate breakfast and dinner their every night. Coctails are out of this world and a solid wine list. We were so sad to leave and cant wait to come back

Room was smaller than expected but it was clean. TV did not have cable but Netflix and Prime video so more than ample. Dining staff were world class and meals well presented. If a person is handicapped some of the walkway could be an issue with the grade. Front desk staff (starts with an M) was quick efficient and a terrific representative for the accommodation. Overall We liked this place. The roads were a bit of a challenge but just take your time and you will be fine. I would certainly recommend. Watch for their 2 nights and 1 free. We missed that one but oh well. Pathways and hiking are nice but the chance of seeing a sloth in the wild has less odds than finding Jimmy Hoffa. Do yourself a favor and go to the sanctuary next door and pay $ as it was totally worth it and we saw 12 sloths.. Have a great trip

Koora es un hotel espectacular que ofrece una experiencia única desde el primer momento. La bienvenida es cálida y personalizada, incluso con el detalle especial de que el staff sabía nuestros nombres, lo que hizo que la estadía se sintiera cercana y exclusiva. El servicio fue excepcional en todo momento. Las habitaciones son amplias, cómodas y con una vista impresionante al bosque nuboso de Monteverde, lo que convierte cada amanecer en algo mágico. La propuesta gastronómica del restaurante es deliciosa, con platos frescos y muy bien preparados. Además, la ubicación es perfecta: rodeada de naturaleza pero a pocos minutos del centro de Monteverde. Sin duda, un lugar para volver y recomendar al 100%.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Koora Hotel in Monteverde. The suite was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered breathtaking views of the cloud forest and beyond. The location is ideal—close to town and major attractions, yet peaceful and surrounded by nature. We especially loved having both the Aguti Biological Reserve and the Natuwa Wildlife Sanctuary right next door, where we enjoyed scenic trails and spotted local wildlife up close. The service was excellent, warm, and attentive throughout our stay. The breakfasts were delicious, and the bar and restaurant were a great place to relax in the evenings. Koora Hotel offers the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty—a great choice for families visiting Monteverde.

We stayed during Costa Rica’s rainy season and were pleasantly surprised with a room upgrade during check in. The service was great and the staff was very personal, remembering our names, room number, and even where we had sat in the restaurant for breakfast! Complimentary access to the nearby nature reserve was a great bonus, and we were able to spot coatis and an agouti during our stay. Highly recommended!
