A beautiful setting in Monteverde with incredibly helpful staff and very high standard rooms. We are a family of 5 with 3 teenagers and the combination of easy access to the cloud forest, lovely pool area and spa facilities and bar / restaurant options that worked well for our family we would highly recommend this hotel. Our children left some of their belongings in their room 🤦‍♂️ and the hotel staff packed it up and posted it to our hotel in San Jose so we could collect before leaving for home - very much appreciated and amazing that they were happy to go to those lengths to return our items before we left Costa Rica. Thank you!

“Peace on earth with a twist”

It does get chilly in Monte Verde so no need for air conditioner. Food is fresh and delicious. The presence of wildlife and birds on site makes you feel connected to nature in an un-intrusive way.

This was our first stop in Costa Rica after landing at Liberia Airport and it was amazing!! The front desk responded to my many emails and questions ahead of time and was so helpful and kind. We emailed the hotel for a shuttle recommendation before leaving and after providing our flight info and our name, they set up the best shuttle for us to get to Fondavela from the airport. Roy met us at the airport entrance with a sign and a smile once we walked outside. He made our initial experience in Costa Rica just perfect. He had cold bottles of water for the four of us and lots of information to share about the people and animals of Costa Rica that we were passing by. He lives in Monteverde and knows the roads like the back of his hand, so he made the winding adventure up to the hotel and cloud forest seem easy. We were so glad we didn’t try to rent a car and navigate to Fondavela ourselves. Upon checking in, the front desk worker took us on a golf cart to the room as it was dark and rainy. It was a beautiful room as promised in the pictures. We also highly recommend the dinner at the hotel restaurant and the amazing breakfast the next day! In the morning before going to the biological reserve, we hiked the trail behind the hotel and it was beautiful. We saw many animals. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay in this hotel longer. We wanted a whole week here at the beautiful Fondavela. Next the hotel booked a taxi for us to go to the biological reserve and also booked the driver Roy to shuttle us next to San Jose. It was a perfect stay and we hope to do it again soon!

“Beautiful setting”

Beautiful setting but this is an older resort, most felt in the dining room and bar with their outdated decor. Giant room and shower. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast buffet is sub par. More fresh options needed. Did not try the spa or pool facilities.
