We loved staying at the Senda Monteverde hotel. Our accommodations were roomy, clean, comfortable and quiet. The staff was very attentive and welcoming. The grounds were beautiful and well maintained, with lots of wildlife transiting the property. The restaurant was very good both for breakfast and dinner. We'd stay there again!

My favorite hotel of the three with great food and cool animals walking about. No pool but loved the trails
07/08/2022
We really enjoyed being spoiled in our peaceful little cabana. The nature trails were a bonus, & the staff there was very accommodating! We did long for another restaurant option and chose to walk downtown in the rain.
06/08/2022
Senda was phenomenal. Our room was such a delight and the grounds were beautiful, and nicely curated. Restaurant on site is delicious with wonderful service. Close to town, which was nice. The trails on premise as well as the preserve next door are beautiful and expansive. Sitting on the patio and watching the sun go down or listening to the rain was a great way to enjoy the scenery. Can't recommend Senda enough! Shout out to Adán for a really fun cocktail class!

The plantain cooking experience was great. Welcome cocktail was great after so many hours in the car. Hike through reserve was also very interesting. If we had one extra day, we would have liked to spend it here.

The Senda Hotel was one of our favorites on this trip. Having stayed in other hotels in Monteverde on previous trips, we liked the most. The location is not and convenient but quiet. The grounds are meticulously maintained and there is a nice trail system behind the hotel. Our room was gorgeous! It was simplistic in design but elegant. The staff at this lodge really goes above and beyond and is attentive in every way but at the same time, did not overwhelm us. The restaurant was nice and breakfast was delicious. While we regrettably did not eat lunch or dinner there, we di check out the menu and the prices were far more reasonable than we paid at offsite locations.

Can not say enough positive things about this hotel. The food, drinks, views and staff were all beyond amazing!! This was our favorite hotel - we really didn’t want to leave. It was perfection.
07/29/2019
the food is very expensive and the resort is a bit more secluded than we realized when we booked, but it was a short walk into town! the staff are all incredibly welcoming.
07/04/2019
The Senda Monteverde was a great hotel for us. The staff was very friendly and always helpful. When we arrived they greeted us with drinks and had our luggage delivered to our room. The grounds of the resort are beautiful and the trails around the nature preserve were quite nice. We really enjoyed just walking around the resort. They also have a very inexpensive shuttle to town ($3 USD) and they helped with making dinner reservations. The breakfast was excellent as was the happy hour snacks and drinks.

The hotel was beautiful! A nice cabin in the woods. The staff was amazing and even tried to help with our spanish. They gave lots of recommendations of things to do around the area. It was raining most of our stay here so we didn't get to see many animals like we hoped. The food wasn't that great and there wasn't too much of a selection like the other two hotels we stayed at.

The food was amazing at Senda!
06/15/2019
A truly unique an eco-friendly luxury hotel. Right up my alley. A cabin in the woods feel. This was by far beyond what I could have imagined. Loved that the Aguti forest was right next door to do a night tour and the place was quiet which we loved with not many people. Tatiana at front desk was awesome!
