Poco a Poco Hotel and Spa

Monteverde

Good to Know

Poco a Poco Hotel and Spa in Monteverde offers a harmonious blend of cloud forest adventure and serene relaxation. Guests can unwind in the heated indoor pool or outdoor hot tub after exploring the nearby Cloud Forest Reserve. The hotel features a restaurant serving local and international cuisine with forest views, alongside the Naroa Spa and Wellness for rejuvenating treatments. Comfortable rooms and spacious suites, some with private terraces or hot tubs, provide a restful retreat amidst landscaped gardens and sustainable practices.


A warm-water return to Poco a Poco

A warm swim after a cloud forest outing is one of Poco a Poco Hotel and Spa's inviting pleasures. The heated indoor pool and outdoor hot tub make it easy to move from an active Monteverde day to an afternoon devoted to unwinding. Landscaped gardens, a restaurant and Naroa Spa and Wellness give you reasons to enjoy the hotel itself rather than fill every hour with an excursion.

From the forest to the warm water

Walk through the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, look for the region's birds or take a canopy tour for a different perspective on the treetops. Ziplining and horseback riding bring other possibilities. Coming back to Poco a Poco can be part of the anticipation: a swim in warm water, a soak outside or a spa treatment before dinner.

The comfortable rooms and spacious suites provide a restful place between those experiences. Categories have different layouts and comforts, with some offering terraces or hot tubs. Compare the accommodation if private outdoor space or a more secluded soak is part of the stay you have in mind; those features belong to particular choices.

Give the gardens and dinner their own time

Fresh, locally sourced ingredients bring local flavors and international dishes together in the restaurant. Its cozy atmosphere and cloud forest views make an evening meal part of enjoying the hotel, rather than another journey after a day out. Allow time to linger over dinner, then decide how much of tomorrow you want to spend away.

The gardens leave room for quieter moments between meals and excursions. Energy-efficient lighting, recycling and water-saving practices form part of the property's conservation approach, connecting the workings of the hotel with the landscape around it. Helpful staff can offer local recommendations and assist with requests as you shape your Monteverde plans.

A spa benefit for Pacific Trade Winds travelers

Keep the Pacific Trade Winds spa benefit’s treatment terms in mind when choosing time at Naroa Spa and Wellness. If workouts are part of your holiday, confirm gym availability before your stay. Poco a Poco's appeal is in the balance: outdoor discovery, comfortable accommodation and worthwhile time devoted to the hotel itself.

Lynnette C.

This place was very eclectic. They did not have any lounge chairs outside and the poolside bartender was not available and when he was he didn't seem to know what drinks were available. We ordered one dinner and brought it to the room and it wasn't good. Breakfasts were good! I liked the art and I loved the garden and trail on the property! I loved our view and I loved being so near town so we were able to explore and visit shops and eat in many of the amazing restaurants! I really liked this place and location and would go back!!!

Another great hotel!!!! The walking path they have was amazing, hotel layout great, and the staff was stellar. One employee, David, really stood out in being one of the happiest people we've ever met and he did a great job making sure we were taken care of at meals. We'd go back without hesitation.

Tracy C.

Very impressive green hotel that retains lots of small inn charm with lots of whimsical artwork. This was my favorite. Only criticism is spring-loaded doors and other things that made noise with wind.

Rachael H.

Lovely different location, lots of nice places to walk to and explore and eat.

Jodi Q.

Very nice hotel that is within walking distance to the small town.

Patrick R.

We had thought that Arenal was great but then Poco a Poco raised that up a but with a jacuzzi in the room! Out of anyone's control but it was so windy and a lot of branches and such fell on our room roof making it loud at times but fantastic grounds and staff!

Justin F.

This is one of the most beautiful boutique hotels I have ever seen and staff was very friendly!

Gerald B.

Enjoyed this hotel as well. The pools were nice and the bartender very personable. All the staff was friendly as well.

Bradley R.

My family and I were blown away by the attention to detail on every square inch of the grounds at Poco A Poco! Absolutely gorgeous, clean, and alive. Little fire pits to stay warm on a chilly rainy night and read a book, large jacuzzi to chill with family and newly-made friends, and delicious on-site breakfast with made-to-order omelets, fresh local fruit, and much more in a beautiful setting to start your day. Location was perfect - very close to the center of town with plenty of shopping and local restaurants.

Sylvia S.

Another hotel where you can walk around town. This one was close enough to walk to so raided all the gift shops!

Pauline L.

Quiet comfortable hotel with a good restaurant. A good place to relax after a day of traveling or hiking.

James O.

Staff was fantastic, especially the front desk manager/clerk, Axel, who was extremely friendly and helpful. He gave us some great tips on where to go and what to do. The room was clean and comfortable, with a nice little balcony where we could dry some of our wet clothes. We really enjoyed the little hiking trail around the property, and the sunset views from the dining veranda, where happy hour was held, couldn't be beat. It's also where we had breakfast each day, which was outstanding.

Kristen O.

Great location and lovely facilities. The front desk helped us plan a last minute excursion. We enjoyed our bartender as well.

Donald S.

What a beautiful hotel and location.

Teresa W.

Resort was quite posh -- a little posher than we had expected or wanted. Resort was beautiful and well maintained. Lovely trail around the grounds. We ate at the resort restaurant the first night -- food was excellent but limited menu. The posted menus for the informal dining didn't have adequate GF options. We ended up eating outside the resort for the rest of our stay. Restaurants and shopping right outside the resort. Steep walk (but the whole area is mountainous) into town center that was delightful.

Bronwyn L.

The room was nice, big draw back our view was the rooftop of the hotel. Staff were wonderful

Zoe B.

Fab hotel and great location near the town.

Kathy B.

Lovely place and good food at breakfast. We enjoyed walking the trail to look for birds and I used the pool. We liked how close it was to town
