Location and staff

Spiders everywhere, including the beds and shower and they had no other rooms to move us to. Electricity went out 3 times while there. No phones in the rooms and all staff are gone by 9 pm.

Very nice free breakfasts and a well stocked kitchen if you want to cook. Friendly staff with reasonable excursion prices. Enjoyed zip lining and horseback riding. Cloud forest nature with guide was disappointing. Saw very few animals. Very comfortable lounge and restaurant. Free but spotty wifi unless in lounge.

Tiny rooms with only one nightstand and no drawers, closets and few places to hang stuff. Basically your stuff will be on the bed or floor. Shower was weak and again no shelves. There is one five person room under the lounge. It is noisy so try to avoid it.

The hotel was in a convenient location to everything in Monteverde and Santa Elena. The views from the terrace were excellent, and the rooms themselves very clean and spacious. We also found the breakfast buffet to be very good.

No complaints.

Nice place, smell of wood made it feel warm and cosy. Rooms are spacious, wifi not reliable in the rooms. Little out of the way. However, if you want to do canyoning adventure it's right across the street. Not easy to find at night. Nice spacious rooms, private, good views from restaurant and balconies, clean rooms. Over all good experience

This is a lovely hotel if you are looking for a rustic and quiet place; it's a few minutes from central Santa Elena. The views from the cabin were breath-taking. On a clear day, you can see the Gulf of Nicoya. We loved the hiking trail on the property.

It got chilly at night (low to mid-50's)and since the cabin is not heated, it's important to bring extra clothes to keep warm. However, the shower was wonderfully hot, which is very important in the mountains.

The hotel offers a delicious breakfast ($6 per person) and needs to be arranged one day in advance. You have 3 breakfast options (typical Costa Rican, eggs & toast, and pancakes) -- all were delicious and served with fresh fruit, juice, and coffee. We highly recommend having breakfast here since there were not a lot of breakfast options in Santa Elena.

Some of the infrastructure such as light fixtures and the yoga platform needed some overhaul work. The pillows were a little harder than I would have liked and no AC.
