Not so happy!
The roof of our room started leaking at night and the water was dripping on our bed which woke us up in the middle of the night.

Beautiful hotel. Great room for a family of 4. The breakfast buffet very good with many options. Friendly staff. The property has Pizotes which are cute animal fun to watch. I highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant stay in Monteverde. Nice pool area but I only wished they had a Hot Tub.

Resort is very tired and has begun its descent into shabbiness. Our first room had a torn screen and a badly damaged carpet. They switched us to a smaller room of same type that at least had intact screen, but stained and pulled carpet. Gym was okay. No A/C. Loft of our room got very hot.

2/10 Poor

Run Down, Poorly Maintained
The check-in was more about policy and procedure versus friendly welcome. But more importantly , the room was in desperate need of renovation and repair. The carpet was dirty and shredded, the doors were lopsided, the fixtures were broken, the windows didn’t have screen over them to prevent bugs from coming in, which is a big deal because the hotel doesn’t have air conditioning. The property and rooms were in extremely poor condition and needs a complete renovation!

8/10 Very good

The good: -Large room -Large bathroom -Very clean -Refrigerator in room very useful -Ample parking in each building next to rooms, restaurants, etc. Needs improvement: -Poor sealing of doors and windows so noise from cars, other guests and the smell of gasoline from grass cutting filtered into the room -The bed made a creak as if it were going to break. Quite annoying to sleep on. -Poor quality TV -Quality and quantity of food vs price at Laggus restaurant was hard to justify. Overall, a lot of food in the country is expensive. -Slight sewer smell when flushing toilet. Possibly leaking through screw holes attaching toilet to the ground.

Lovely location, so clean and comfortable with a friendly staff. A lot of upselling happening which got a little bit exhausting. Quite expensive. Food options were only okay on the property. Better dining options for the price off of the property campus. Will return.

Interesting property. Lovely if spread out grounds. Staff and breakfast were excellent. Food otherwise was average and way overpriced. It is a very spread out hotel so much walking between different areas. Also room very basic amenities- no clothes storage space, iron, hairdryer.

Nice, big , clean room. Shuttle service to and from reception area was very good and convenient as the walk would be stressful on knees , especially if you have knee issues. Entrance is convenient to get to from the main road (paved road) as opposed to other hotels in the area where road to the entrance from main road is not paved. Good nearby dining options.
