The room they provided was really small. We had four of us in basically a 10 x 10 room. The picture they provide on their website is the picture of their one larger cabin. I would not send a family to this place. With that being said - our only issue was the size of the place and the shower drained to the outside. Which meant little creatures could get in.

Breakfast wasn't very good. It wasn't clear when to come, when to eat, and if we needed to order other food. Hotel was clean and basic but they had the best WiFi of our entire trip. Staff were friendly and accommodating, even helped us book a night tour and printed an itinerary update for us.

The setting was beautiful, the staff very friendly and knowledgeable, the food excellent. We had a little problem with our hot water, but it was taken care of right away. We walked around, enjoyed the chocolate demonstration, and had some wonderful authentic food at the women's coop.

Smaller rooms, but super cozy. This is a place that you have to make the most of. Its simple and easy - perfect for Monte Verde.
