to get started.

Great hotel for the price, great parking and location, walking distance to town and short drive to national parks. Lovely a la carte breakfast. Fantastic service, especially liked the little touches of robes in the room, nice turn down service and was welcomed by name at the door when we arrived. The grounds are also beautiful, lots of lovely common areas, gardens and beautiful views.

We really enjoyed our stay, beds and room was large and comfy. the staff was very helpful and we loved our dinners and breakfasts. Saw monkeys and other animals at the lodge, Had a wonderful massage and really enjoyed the cloud forest and hanging bridges where we say 15 howler monkeys. We would come back t o this hotel

The tropical gardens provide a wonderful setting for the hotel. The staff were great - we were welcomed and allowed to check in early which was much appreciated after the long drive. They arranged excellent excursions (night walk and Monteverde reserve) with transportation from the door of the hotel. The restaurant was outstanding and very accommodating for meals at times to accommodate the excursions.

Really great place in all respects. The staff were especially nice—- most of them seemed to automatically know our names and call us by our first names, like old friends. The only negative aspect is the shower—-no shelf on which to place razors and such, or a bench on which to sit, and shower control could not beeasily set—-just merely touch it and there was great changes in tp.

The staff were so friendly and helpful, a very warm welcome. The food was amazing and the views spectacular, this may have been my favorite hotel we stayed in in Costa Rica. Our room was a little delayed in being ready so they gave us the best fruit smoothie ever to sip on while we waited in the nice lodge area. But the view in the room let us watch the monkeys jump from tree to tree and see toucans eating berries. Great dinner too. We felt very cared for here.

Amazing hotel - staff are lovely and go above and beyond. Organised lots of trips for us (night tour, ziplining) which were fab and good value for money in low season when not many other tourists are around. Lots of nice extra touches in room - turndown service each night with fresh water and cookies left in room, towels to wipe your muddy boots after the forest. Our room was lovely and big with a nice outdoor area with a hammock. The grounds are amazing - stunning views and lots of areas to relax and spot wildlife.

This hotel is outstanding. Beautiful grounds and the staff are wonderful; very personal in their service. The food is some of the best in the area. The room was stunning, you don't need any air con as it's cool enough. We saw a huge amount of wildlife from the moment we arrived, often right outside our room. Watching the cloud float in over the swimming pool was mesmerising! Simply brilliant hotel all round. I honestly cant fault it.

Hotel park is gorgeous, we saw an amardillo wandering around on day of check in and some little monkeys where playing in front of our room in the morning. The butterfly garden is very pretty and it was very nice to sit down with a glass or a cup. Restaurant food was really nice. Location is perfect 10min walk to town centre
