Monteverde Lodge and Gardens

Monteverde

Good to Know

Garden paths, cloud-forest outings and meals framed by broad windows give Monteverde Lodge and Gardens its easy rhythm. Choose it for a nature-focused Monteverde stay with welcoming common spaces, a restaurant and bar, and places to pause between adventures.


Garden hours and cloud-forest days

At Monteverde Lodge and Gardens, the garden is part of the holiday. Flower beds, seating areas and greenery invite you to slow your steps, leaving time to look for birds before setting out into Monteverde's cloud forest. The lodge brings that sense of nature into the stay, with many accommodations looking onto the forest or gardens.

A room, a garden and a place to gather

Rooms and suites balance rustic character with modern comforts. After a guided hike, the appeal is simple: somewhere inviting to rest, then a walk outside or time in the lounge beside the fireplace. You can spend a full day exploring and still leave room for an unhurried evening at the lodge.

Costa Rican flavors with a forest view

The restaurant makes Costa Rican flavors and fresh, locally sourced ingredients central to the meal. Large windows frame the cloud forest, giving you a reason to linger over dinner; the bar offers tropical cocktails and locally crafted spirits for another way to settle into the evening.

Explore the reserves, then settle back in

Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and other nearby reserves invite you onto well-maintained trails, with guided hikes, wildlife observation, zip-lining and horseback riding among the possibilities. Make a day of exploring, then return to the gardens for a slower hour. You can be active in the forest and still leave time to enjoy the lodge's own flower beds and seating areas.

Staff can help with local recommendations and experiences shaped around your interests. Their knowledge of the area is useful when deciding how to divide time among the reserves, with plans tailored to the way you want to explore Monteverde.

Energy-efficient lighting, water conservation and recycling form part of the lodge's environmental approach. Together with gardens maintained to attract local wildlife, they give the nature-focused setting a practical foundation.

The hotel is nice. The gem suites are underneath the dining room so you hear chairs scraping and if they have live music that too. It all quietens down around 9 though so not too bad. The room was nice otherwise. The little patio was nice to sit on and watch hummingbirds. The restaurant was good, and had some great meals so we didn’t go into town to eat. The waitresses and waiters were good and attentive, and remembered allergies after the first meal. There are several trails around the hotel to walk and look for animals. There’s a supermarket and other shops in easy walking distance, and the town center for souvenirs and restaurants a little further but still walkable.

Taryn B.

Wonderful location and lodge. Amazing food. Staff were all friendly and helpful, especially the dining room staff.

Diane S.

Loved this hotel! They had the most comfortable beds and pillows of any hotel we stayed at. They arranged a night tour for us that was great. The tour guide even reported back to the hotel that I was having some stomach troubles and they made a special off-the-menu dinner soup with rice for me to help me get some nutrients down. The hotel and grounds were beautiful and love the umbrellas out and ready for guests to use. Super accommodating.

Lucy V.

breakfast and dinner outstanding

Bob B.

Wonderful hotel, would definitely stay there again.

Sandra B.

Great property. Our room had a beautiful balcony. No Tv's in the rooms. Gourmet breakfast is included, specialty coffees are not.

Robert K.

Great food. Overpriced given the size of the rooms.

Luis L.

Very beautiful hotel and spaces around. Delicious food, excellent breakfast and attentive staff. Definitely the best hotel we've been in this trip

Ann R.

The food was Excellent here, as was the staff. Even saw white face monkeys in the trees by the pool. We were w/o hot water a night and a morning. The hotel compted Our lunch. We tipped, of course. The only negative, was that sometimes you could here from room to room

Christy D.

Quiet, tranquil. Short walk to town for restaurants Loved the forest balcony view

Lucia G.

Lovely gardens and pool and great food

Angela M.

We were supposed to get a King size bed but we got 2 beds that were probably smaller than queen beds. Very uncomfortable

Lynn D.

Very nice but very expensive.

Erica D.

The grounds are beautiful, the restaurant was amazing and close enough to walk to restaurants in town.

John M.

Monteverde was our favorite. Easy walk to into town, watched the Super Bowl at Amigos. Only drawback was mist was so heavy on Sunday it was almost raining.

Peter G.

Excellent hotel, with butterfly cage and some lovely quiet spots where you can sit out in the fresh air. Restaurant is amazing; an outstanding chef. Other restaurants in town are good and so there are options if you don't want to spend £40.00 per head every night.

Zachary O.

Loved our room location and porch. Very comfortable and clean. Staff always helpful and friendly.

Alexandra G.

Loved this hotel! Very clean and felt much more up to date and well maintained that some of the other hotels in the area looked. I recommend getting a balcony or going to the patio with your book and reading, lots of little creatures right on the property and adjoining woods!

Russell S.

I cannot say enough about the Monteverde Lodge and Gardens! What a jewel of a place. We truly felt like a part of their family while we were there. The staff all knew our names from the 1st night. They anticipated our needs as well. We ate lunch outdoors in gardens on the day we arrived. The next morning we went out to breakfast and they had already set up the same table for us in the gardens. This was the best staff I encountered on my entire trip. If I were to move to Costa Rica and live at a hotel, it would without a doubt be the Monteverde Lodge and Gardens. The rooms were without air conditioning, but that really wasn't an issue because the temperature there only reached the low 70s. With the balcony door open (screen closed though due to bugs) the temperature was great. Also, this resort was right in the middle of the cloud forest. Our 2nd story balcony overlooked the canopy and one morning we even had a family of Capuchin monkeys no more than 25 ft from our balcony. What a beautiful place!

Maja K.

It took us a while to adjust to this hotel when compared to Hotel Silencio del Campo but in the end we came to appreciate all that it had to offer. The rooms themselves were adequate but not special in any way....no patio or seating other than the beds. However, the outside common spaces were wonderful....the sitting room overlook8ng the grounds, the butterfly garden, the pool area, and even the library room inside. We were able to take full advantage of these spaces and really appreciated them. The complimentary coffee in the lobby was a nice touch, and the restaurant was good.

Anne S.

this is an excellent place to stay. it is within walking distance from downtown and shopping/restaurants.

Elena J.

Small and personal. Very good.

Alicia Y.

The food at the hotel wasn't too great but otherwise we had a great stay.
