Spent 3 nights here in a huge room across from the main building which didn’t have a view across the forest like some do but we had privacy and could take a bath staring right into the forest. Breakfast was lovely sat on the balcony watching the hummingbirds but we kind of expected to see more wildlife than that - there was a coati and a long distance toucan but that’s all. Maybe we were unlucky. We only ate breakfast there and that was really good. Other meals we ate in the town which is easily accessible by car. The Taco/Mexican place was especially good. We did the Savia Reserve tour which was really good - a combo of nature walk and tree top experience which will not be ideal if you have a fear of climbing ladders at height but everything was sturdy and you can’t fall with a safety harness. We didn’t see a lot of wildlife on the trip - I think only a small snake and a tarantula in a hole. Again, could be down to luck or time of year. Having said that, we also stayed at La Fortuna and saw tons more there.

“A very special place”

- Really cool property built into a hill. I’d highly recommend if you want to splurge a little. - We stayed in the Nicoya suite and it was amazing. Views from the balcony were spectacular.

- Really cool property built into a hill. I’d highly recommend if you want to splurge a little. - We stayed in the Nicoya suite and it was amazing. Views from the balcony were spectacular. It’s at the top of the hill so you have to walk up stairs to get to and from your room. But the balcony jacuzzi, swing chair/bed and views were worth it. - Hotel restaurant is really good. They have their own gardens and farm so lots of farm to table food. - Free yoga in the morning was pretty easy, which we appreciated. Juice bar on site. Massages were cheaper than other places but they don’t have a full spa. There is a ~20 min self guided hike thru their property that goes down to the river with a little waterfall. Brewery on site had a good view but the service was super slow. - We saw monkeys, coati, an armadillo, and lots of birds while on property. We loved our stay at Hotel Belmar and hope to come back in the future.

Our stay at Hotel Belmar was wonderful. The check-in was very relaxing and they even recognized that we were celebrating our anniversary with this trip. Our room was in the building across the street from the reception desk. The Canopy Room was exactly as pictured, nicely appointed and very clean. The wrap-around balcony had forest views, and we even spotted two toucans. There was a bath on the deck which I hadn't expected us to use, but the kids loved it. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed a meal at the brewery, breakfast at the restaurant, and snacks from the juice bar; everything was delicious. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful. We would definitely return to Hotel Belmar!

“Comfortable stay.”

We enjoyed our stay. The grounds are lush and beautiful. Rooms are clean and comfortable. I had high expectation from the rave reviews I read before our stay. So I was a little disappointed that the staff (restaurant, excursion etc.) wasn't as attentive and welcoming as I have hoped.
