Monteverde Cloud Forest Lodge

Really nice spacious room in semi detached chalet with little patio and forest view. Nicely kept garden. Frequently visited by forest animals - lovely. Nice forest walks within in the extended property boundary. Zip lines available inside the property (not for us though). Food was OK, but nice views from the central restaurant facility. Surprisingly cool, even in February, needed a jumper/cardigan and/or coat. Birds in the area were superb. A little outside (1.5km ?) Montaverde/St Elena on a roughish unpaved road. Need a car to visit the small town and its adequate restaurants.

Nothing, the property was excellent. We found ourselves a little bored after bird watching but the forest walks helped.

Everything! Rustic and comfortable lodge-type accommodation. You are in the middle of the Cloud Forest up here, just what we expected. Lots of wildlife, monkeys in the fruit trees around the property! Staff friendly and helpful, food and drinks were excellent. The enclosed porch which looks over the Cloud forest is amazing, sat out there and had drinks and played games while we watched a crazy sunset. Did NOT want to leave!

Nothing not to like, just disappointed that the outdoor part of the porch is currently closed b/c it is unsafe and needs to be re-built. That would not be a deal-breaker for us though, as the view is the same from the enclosed porch.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The cabins were not luxurious, but were clean and comfortable with some amenities like fresh coffee. The grounds were beautiful with wonderful hiking trails. The breakfast was absolutely delicious!

Great Rustic Stay

Food, area, amenities were great.

Shower head was crazy, shower did not drain, no tv in room. Gustav was a great waiter and day front desk was wonderful. Night front desk and night waitress lacked personality.
