We had a fabulous 4-night stay at the Monteverde Country Lodge. We booked a superior room, which was spacious and well-appointed. Our room was in the new building in the back of the property. It has a lovely, rustic lodge feel. We appreciated the storage space in the entertainment center and near the bathroom. The hotel provides nicely-scented toiletries, including body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and hand soap (key lime). They did not irritate my sensitive skin. We were there in the winter and the temperature was very nice. There are screened windows in the bathroom, outside the bathroom, and the front of the room for cross-ventilation. There is no air conditioning in the hotels in Monteverde, and it really isn't necessary. We're accustomed to Florida AC and this was not a problem. A good floor fan was provided, which helped move air and dry our clothes. The winter is the rainy season and there are typically afternoon showers, just like Florida. The mattresses are firm and comfortable. The Costa Rican coffee provided in the room is excellent. The included breakfast buffet in the La Fontana Restaurant is amazing! We looked forward to it every morning. It includes a good combination of traditional American breakfast food and Costa Rican food. We have some picky eaters and food allergies and everyone found delicious food that met their needs. There are varieties of bread, including bread pudding and banana bread, sliced cheese, ham, and turkey ham, several containers of hot foods with eggs, a daily variety of sausage, chicken or beef in sauce, gallo pinto, plantains, potatoes, etc. There were cereals, pancakes, and granola. There were tea, coffee, yogurt drink, water and juices. The fruit in Costa Rica is insanely delicious. They featured papaya, mango, watermelon, banana, and pineapple. The pineapple is the most delicious we have ever tasted--truly special. The hotel staff was incredibly helpful and went out of their way to ensure that we had a terrific stay. They are constantly cleaning and the property is immaculate. The hotel restaurant is very good and we enjoyed several great meals there, including some creative dinner specials, such as steak with pesto sauce. The staff was very efficient and hard-working and did their best to please. Francisco, Allan, and the others were stars. There is a small bar, also with excellent service. We spent most of our time hiking and visiting various nearby sites. We did not rent a car, but the hotel staff can arrange a local taxi. There are restaurants nearby and it's a short walk to Santa Elena for even more options. (However, it is down a seriously steep hill, so be prepared. Get the contact for the taxi before you leave. ;) Check out the nearby Valle Escondio (hidden valley) farm-to-table restaurant and the Santuario Ecologico for amazing views. (They are not downhill.) We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to return to Monteverde Country Lodge. Pura Vida!

“Pleasant”

We had a small room. Really small for two. But seeing our disappointment the charming and helpful Abigail at the reception upgraded us to a bigger one. Walls are thin we could here our neighbors. But was bearable luckily. Was very pleasant stay.

“Average rooms and good food.”

The rooms are very spacious, however, they could use some ceiling fans and there was a little musty smell. There must be little soundproofing because I could almost hear the words of the conversations of the people in the room next to mine. The dining room and bar area is nice although very litt… lisää

The rooms are very spacious, however, they could use some ceiling fans and there was a little musty smell. There must be little soundproofing because I could almost hear the words of the conversations of the people in the room next to mine. The dining room and bar area is nice although very little seating at the bar itself. The included breakfast is absolutely fabulous and the items changed on the two days I was there. I ate one evening dinner and the food and drinks were exceptional.
