Heavenly
My Daughter and I did a girls getaway. The hotel was fantastic. The huge fire with chairs surrounding it was a perfect place to sit and read a book. Although it rained every day, the hotel offered boots and umbrellas to use. The setting is so serene and the employees are very friendly and helpful. They even offer turn down service…we felt like queens. I would definitely recommend this hotel for your stay in Monte Verdi.

We stayed two nights at this hotel in August. It is a beautiful hotel with lovely staff and setting. However - beware of hidden charges. We booked a family suite for a 2 night stay through Expedia. We are a family of 3 with a 14yo but when we got to the hotel they were expecting an infant and charged us an extra $52 per night supplement ($104 in total which was an unpleasant surprise). We had not had this problem in any other hotels during our trip so this was disappointing (hence the 4 stars vs 5). Neither Expedia nor the hotel accepted there was a problem with the booking system (other hotels we booked added an extra person supplement at time of booking through Expedia). We asked Expedia for the information we provided at booking in case we had made a mistake but were told this was not possible.

We recently visited Monteverde and had an amazing experience. The staff are very attentive to our needs and assist in a very timely manner. They are excellent with customer service. The restaurant views are just breathtaking as you can see Toucans, a variety of different Costa Rican birds, and zipliners. (One minor recommendation is the rooms need to be updated and there is a lot of space and not very good utilization...)

Isolated lodge
Lovely 2 night stay at the Cloud Forest Lodge. Very comfortable room and huge shower room. Missed having coffee making facilities in the room, but that’s a pretty minor issue really. Loved having cocktails on the restaurant balcony while watching the sun set and all of our meals in the restaurant were absolutely excellent. Customer service was spot on. We arranged 2 activities through reception: - A night walk, which unfortunately was a complete waste of money - Canopy zip lines, which was excellent and completely safe - although somewhat scary as it was extremely windy.

Best stay so far in Costa Rica
Quiet, modern room with lovely bedlinen and soft towels. Only disappointment was no coffee making facilities in the room, although there was a coffee station for those requiring coffee before the restaurant opened,
