Top Monteverde Hotel Reviews

Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

10/10 Excellent

"El personal fue muy atento , Pagamos 27 dólares por una noche y nos incluyeron el desayuno, verdaderamente para el precio supero nuestra expectativa, con piscinas de aguas termales, piscinas de agua dulce , sauna y botella de vino incluida con la reserva, pasa ser un pais caro este hotel superó nuestras expectativas"

Finca Sunset Monteverde

10/10 Excellent

"No words I can write could ever do this place justice. The views are unbelievable and the amenities in the room go above and beyond expectations! There were umbrellas, card games, a telescope for looking at the stars, an outside lounge net, a hot tub on the balcony, and even the shower had a window with an amazing view! Alex was so welcoming and friendly! He recommended the best dining spots and brought us on a night-walking tour and a guided tour of the Monteverde Hanging Bridges!"

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I didn’t want to leave! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the pre-check-in process and activity-planning support made our trip much easier. We loved the volcano view, lush gardens that provided plenty of privacy, convenient parking right outside our unit, and the relaxing thermal pool. The food was also very good. A wonderful stay overall."

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the hotel was lovely! All of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. We had decorated the room for a friend who was celebrating, and when we came back after housekeeping had passed by, we were so pleasantly surprised. They had folded the towels into the shape of a cake and even used some of our balloons to complete the decoration. 🎂🎈 It was such a thoughtful and creative gesture and made the celebration feel even more special. We really appreciated the extra effort and attention to detail. Thank you for making our stay so memorable! ❤️"

Valle Escondido Nature Reserve Hotel & Farm

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at Valle Escondido. Our room was very clean and the view was great. We got to see a lot of wildlife right by the building we were in because the resort was less busy in the rainy season, and we got lucky with the weather. We really enjoyed our night hike on the trails on the property - only wish it were longer! Overall, a great stay. Food was good although variety is a bit limited in the off season."

Koora Hotel by Sandglass

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great. We booked the plunge pool suite which unfortunately did not have any desk so we had to downgrade to a junior suite. The plunge pool was quite cold and dirty though anyways so we wouldn't have used it. Location is nice. The pool is small like a 1-2 person max with 2 loungers. Hotel overall is clean and it's a steep walk to town but a taxi is around 2500 CRC. They did provide a dining credit for the 2 meals I had with my wife at the restaurant, which is fair since it was my fault for booking the plunge pool room without confirming it had a desk. Restaurant is really nice, a bit pricey but quality wholesome food. We don't drink so we avoid all inclusives."

The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"It was a wonderful experience. Front desk staff were very helpful throughout our stay here. We had to check out very early before the breakfast time and they packed us sandwiches and fruits for the road. Very nice and considerate staff."
