Find your place to stay
Sibu Boutique Hotel offers a cozy, comfortable stay in Monteverde, just a 600-meter walk from Santa Elena’s vibrant center. Guests enjoy warm woodwork interiors, complimentary hot breakfast, Wi-Fi, and parking, making it an ideal base for exploring the region's cloud forests and adventure activities. While the lodge does not feature an onsite pool, guests have access to the indoor pool at its nearby sister property, Hotel Poco a Poco. The hotel prioritizes a relaxed atmosphere over extreme luxury, catering to solo travelers, couples, and families.
A walk of about 600 meters brings you from Santa Elena’s center to Sibu Boutique Hotel, where woodwork and comfortable rooms give the stay a cozy character. The hill is walkable, with taxis available when you prefer an easier return. Shops, restaurants, museums, co-ops and art galleries make town an inviting part of the day, and the owners and staff can help with local recommendations.
Begin with a complimentary hot breakfast, then set out for Monteverde’s cooler forest landscape. Monteverde Cloud Forest, Santa Elena Cloud Forest, Curi-Cancha and the Children’s Eternal Rainforest offer guided walks and birdwatching opportunities, including the chance to look for Resplendent Quetzals and Three-Wattled Bellbirds. Canopy ziplining, Tarzan Swings, hanging bridges and waterfall hikes add more adventurous possibilities. Give the forest time without depending on one particular sighting.
After exploring, a hot shower and a comfortable bed make the room part of the pleasure of coming back. Accommodation suits solo travelers, couples and families, with larger options for families of five and spacious bathrooms. Forest Superior, Guaria and Lantana rooms differ in amenities, so select the category that fits your party. Wi-Fi and parking are included. The lodge favors a relaxed, comfortable stay rather than extreme luxury.
Sibu has no onsite pool, but guests can use the indoor pool at its sister property, Hotel Poco a Poco, a short distance away. Naroa Spa and Wellness offers another way to spend an afternoon beyond the lodge. Pacific Trade Winds clients have a specific spa benefit, with the exact discount and transport terms below.

The walls of this hotel are very thin (lot of wood) so the external noises were inconvenient (in particular the noise of the wind and also our room was located right beside the ice maker machine so we were awoken at 5:50 AM by someone using it.)

The staff can use the handicap elevator to lift your bags up and down the stairs. We did not know this when we arrived, but they very kindly had someone carry them up for us!

We would have been happy with just 2 nights in Monteverde. Staff were ok, but not near as friendly as Nammbu

Absolutely excellent! Great design and conception, very comfortable. 10min away from downtown.

This was a lovely hotel with a very nice common room and an excellent breakfast. It was a little far and hilly to get into town, but good exercise. We also enjoyed a couple of meals from their tapas menu.

With having to change hotels prior to our arrival, and not being offered to go to the other resort (was raining so we couldn't walk), was disappointing. Staff was excellent. The restaurant was nice--food and service were good.
