This stay at Way to Heaven Glamping was an absolute dream! Nestled in the heart of Monteverde, the location offered both tranquility and adventure. Waking up surrounded by rainforest sounds and spotting wildlife right from my doorstep was an unforgettable experience. The owner was incredibly kind and helpful, even assisting me with booking a taxi back to San Jose. Don't miss the delicious on-site restaurant and the nearby zip line for an extra adrenaline rush! Highly recommend this unique and beautiful glamping experience.

Really nice new hotel in an incredible unique location at the top of a mountain near Manuel Antonio. It is inside the Mountain Top Nature Park and so has access to the hanging bridges, nature trails etc in the park that external guests have to pay for (the night walks, ziplines still have to be paid for though). The hotel has a nice restaurant with stunning view at the very top of the mountain (either take the hanging bridges to get there or walk up a steep paved road). Lots of wildlife nearby - we saw Capuchin and white faced monkeys and a Sloth in the 3 days we were there. We spoke to the owner who explained future plans for the hotel and it sounds like it will get even better in future. Note: if you get a massage (recommended!) the spa is located next to the restaurant/bar at the top of the mountain, not where Google says it is.

A trip to Monteverde is one of the big ticks on the list for visitors to Costa Rica. Getting there is quite hard going on dreadful roads. Not ideal for anyone with any back or joint problems. It is a wet area so expect downpours and to feel damp at all times even when it is dry outside. The main reason to visit is to see the cloud forests and for zip lining, otherwise there isn’t much else to do in the area. Other attractions such as Ranali frog pond, the butterfly garden are poor and not worth the time or money. I stayed for 3 days and it was too long. My favourite thing overall was seeing the hummingbirds at Monteverde cloud forest - not in the forest itself, but in a cafe area just before the entrance to the cloud forest!

Once again, an expensive tour. Didn't see many animals, or if we did, they were blobs in the trees. Lovely beach, but we only had half an hour there. The park has well-run facilities, and the rules are respectful of the animals. Great guide. Would I say it is a "must" and you are missing out if you don't go? No.

I go there to do dental work at Crystal Dental, as their prices are 2-3 times cheaper than in the USA and the quality is better, they speak English and have German equipment. I do not care about touristy stuff, I did it on my first visit many years ago. You can take buses for daytrips. Tours with agencies are very expensive and geared for young athletic people. I wish there was a sightseeing tour for the whole day on a bus to take pictures without any hiking or horse-riding.

This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

Puerto Jiménez served as a rest-over before going to, and when coming from a trip to Corcovado Nat'l Park. We were able to take and ride bikes from the hotel to restaurants and to look around (the walkway to the pier was torn up so we had to go the long way around and the bikes came in super handy). The staff was friendly and could answer all our questions.

There were people from all parts of the world in one little town. It is worth exploring the surrounding areas, because the actual town of Montezuma is rather small. There are different dining and lodging options for all tastes and budgets. The town/beach is at the bottom of a very steep hill, and getting up and down could be a challenge for walkers.
