Monteverde Country Lodge

Excellent location, friendly staff, peaceful.

We liked this place.

The Monteverde Country Lodge was my least favorite accommodation on this trip. It was fine, except for the breakfast experience every morning. The dining room was overcrowded and we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. On the last morning we got so frustrated that we took our breakfast outside despite the wind and cold. Also, the staff in the dining room at breakfast time seemed overwhelmed by the onslaught of guests and couldn't keep up. The food ran out. The coffee ran out. Etc. And then you had to wait for it to be replenished. A little chaotic, I thought.

No wifi in room. Wifi only available in restaurant and lobby. Very disappointed especially because it rained for 2 days so I was in my room. I don't think the website about the hotel mentioned no wifi in rooms.

Only issue was the sound barrier between rooms was very thin. I could hear the kids next door talking.

Beautiful hotel, so clean so convenient location. However, there's no insulation so we could hear everything. But I guess it's eco friendly hotel so it's perfect. Beautiful, peaceful place.

everything was great except the noise.

Beautiful hotel but the beds were not comfortable at all. Plus, the sound proofing in the room was very poor quality. We could hear everything that was going on outside down in the courtyard and the wind was extremely loud at night that it kept us up. Other than that the location was nice and the breakfast was delicious.

A nice place. It had both close restaurants and we could easily walk or get a taxi as needed.

This lodge was a little walk from the town but I'm a very nice area. There was wonderful hiking trails about 5 minutes away where we go to interact with many anaimals. There was always a lice band at meals which was meat.

Ok hotel. Best part was the location since we could walk in both directions easily on our free days. Also didn't know that cheese factory does not make cheese on Wednesday's so we walked over for a tour that day for nothing.

The rooms very clean and attractive, with very comfortable beds. Food was pretty good and staff courteous and helpful. Facility had no pool or hot tub, and offered no view of area. However found some good restaurants and museum nearby.

Did not sleep well the first night due to howling wind and noisy neighbours. Hotel was nice but nothing special. Staff were the best, very welcoming. Seeing many birds on the premises was great, and being able to easily walk to Saint Elena was great.

We liked the location of the Monteverde Country Lodge - it was in a very quiet location, yet it was close enough to Santa Elena to walk there. We could also walk to the Cheese Factory. One woman at the front desk was very warmly encouraging of my husband's efforts to speak Spanish - we liked that a lot!

The hotel catered to large bus groups which made it difficult to impossible to find a place to sit for a meal or drink. The grounds are pretty and welcoming, but not for a couple with large groups. The rooms were very comfortable.

Nice place we stayed in the sister motel....Wish we had the pool but otherwise it was all great....nice people

The hotel was very good. My only mention is that my room was close to a small courtyard behind the restaurant and reception and the first night there was some kind of entertainment going on and it was pretty loud in the room, other than that it was excellent.

Very average after Arenal Springs. The transportation by boat to the hotel was lovely but embarking and disembarking with luggage was quite difficult and I had a fall.

Would have been nice if hotel was closer to town center. The weather was quite cool and too windy

This is a peaceful rustic lodge in the mountains. It is located near town so I could walk there. The meals were excellent and the breakfast that was provided was copious.

great

Very nice. This place had a nice atmosphere, comfortable and not impersonal. Good service.
