Away from it all

4.6

The roads are a bit of a challenge. Make sure you have an SUV, but the view, when the clouds clear up, is well worth the journey. The town of Santa Elena is a very interesting place, lots of nice people, cool places to eat, and is just a 15 minute drive down the road.
Staff at the hotel struggled a bit with English, but they were lovely people, and very patient with our limited Spanish. Nature lovers will love this place. Not a place to party, or watch tv, but if you want to be away from all of that, this is a fantastic place to do so.

Bottom line:

Yes, I would recommend it to a friend

The only place tomstaybin Monteverde

If you love nature...I mean love it...you will find this the most humbling and beautiful place in your life. A perfect place for reflection and sharing love. The hospitality felt as if we were staying the night with great friends and food made by my costa rican mother. The drive is an adventure, rough roads but I love that stuff. The harder the journey, the better the pay off. When we woke up at 5 to watch the sun rise over the mountains with Arenal, I drank my coffee and wanted to stay there forever with my wife.

Bottom line:

Yes, I would recommend it to a friend

unique experience

4.6

We were so pleased with the personal care taken at this hotel. We were the only occupants at the time and were given the run of the place. The ower was prepared to cook our choice of several dishes for each meal and all the food was great. I really enjoyed being somewhat remote and I doubt you can find a better view of Arenal volcano. The place may need some attention but our rooms were comfortable, the water hot, and the door locked (my specs always.) I always prefer the more local atmosphere of hotels rather than the sterility of chains, etc. so Vista Verde fit the bill.

Bottom line:

Yes, I would recommend it to a friend
