Find your place to stay
Bella Vista Lodge Monteverde offers a simple, independent stay on a Cerro Plano hillside, providing clear-day views of the Gulf of Nicoya. This small, family-owned lodge features colorful, no-frills rooms equipped with private hot-water bathrooms, mini-fridges, coffee makers, and microwaves, with select rooms offering kitchenettes. Guests can enjoy outdoor lounge spaces and nature walks, serving as a quiet base for exploring Monteverde's cloud forests and adventure activities. It caters to travelers valuing a room of their own and an inviting outlook over extensive resort facilities.
Bella Vista means “beautiful view,” and this small family-owned lodge in Cerro Plano gives you a simple way to enjoy one. On clear days, the Gulf of Nicoya appears beyond the mountaintop jungle, with sunset drawing you outside the room. Settle into the lounge space with family or friends, spend an interval at the gazebo, or take a nature walk around the property before the evening begins.
The independent rooms are small, colorful and no-frills. A private hot-water bathroom, mini-fridge, coffee maker and microwave give you useful comforts and some flexibility for refreshments or simple food. Casa Colibri and Casa Motmot have kitchenettes; the Standard Room has cable television, coffee service, a mini-fridge and a terrace. This is a place for travelers who value a room of their own and an inviting outlook over the scale and facilities of a busy resort.
Monteverde’s cloud-forest reserves give you protected landscapes to explore on foot. Birdwatching and mountain hikes invite a closer look, while ziplining, bungee jumping, ATV outings and horseback riding offer more active ways to spend the day. Families and groups can build their own mix of adventures, then leave some time free for the quieter surroundings back at Bella Vista.
Breakfast is no longer offered, so plan a meal nearby before setting out. Wi-Fi, laundry service and private parking support the practical side of a budget stay. The gulf view depends on clear weather; the lodge’s simple, independent character and surrounding greenery remain good reasons to choose it when that style fits your trip.

Did not enjoy this property at all. No hot water, no breakfast and no maid service. Plus I got food poisoning at a local restaurant which did not help with my impression of the property. I know this is not the property’s fault, but it didn’t help with my overall impression of the property. I think it could have great potential with some work.

This place was horrible. Place was not very clean, no hot water at basin sink, bedding was paper thin and old. Everything felt dirty. Would not recommend using this accommodation. We were to be in mid range hotels and this place was not even fall in the class as budget.
