This is truly a magical place. The staff is fantastic, the room is very modern and comfortable and the restaurant is one of the best we went to during our trip to Costa Rica. We ate breakfast while watching monkeys climb nearby trees and humming birds at the feeders. Highly recommended

Everything about our stay was wonderful! From the special cupcakes and note for my mom's birthday that were in our room on our arrival, to the fresh, delicious, made-to-order breakfasts, wonderful service, and thoughtful touches such as umbrellas, ponchos, and rubber boots available for use. It was raining and cloudy the week we were there but cleared up on our last day and we were able to enjoy the amazing views and the walking trails on the property. We ate dinner at the restaurant one night and the server noted my mom was standing near the fire to keep warm while we were waiting for our table and arranged to have our dinner served in front of the fire which my mom loved. The location was also very close to town and convenient. Will definitely stay here again if we return to Monteverde.
