From the minute you walk in you’re greeted by friendly people. What was exceptional was how out of their way they went to make my stay above and beyond. My tours and transfers were organised at the last minute on my request and they always ensured I was taken care of. Led by a husband and wife team, everyone works together feeling like a family, and that’s what this hotel feels like: like you’re hosted by a family. You really feel guided, comfortable and safe. I thought it was exceptionally kind that my taxi driver was given a cup of coffee after a long journey. The service far exceeds what I experienced at other hotels. The hotel is new so the facilities are great and the rooms are designed in a clever and efficient way that ensures a very spacious bathroom. The bed is comfortable, everything is very clean: spotless. There’s also lots of space for co-working etc. Monteverde is exceptionally beautiful and the hotel is located in the town/village but all the activities aren’t far at all so it really is a great location. All in all I loved my stay, my expectations were far exceeded and I think everyone should stay in this hotel, you’re sure to have a wonderful experience. Thank you for such an incredible experience and the immense kindness.

This was my favorite part of my trip in Costa Rica. It is magical here and I hope I have that chance to visit again. My only regret is not staying longer. I had the breakfast one morning, which was lovely. The facilities are minimal. This is easily managed if planned for. There is no fridge in the little pod I stayed in, but there is a microwave. The microwave was enough for me to have a couple small meals. People have mentioned more counter space would be nice. I found it good enough. I had my things organized under the bed. Having the travel packing pods was useful. It is remote, and I suggest bringing in your own drinking water. I didn't get sick or anything, but as a precaution, that is my advice. There are lovely outdoor seating areas. I traveled with a small collapsible chair. It was great for this location, as well as when I visited beaches in other parts of the country. There are great knock off versions of the helinox chairs. If you bring one for your trip you won't regret it. This place is very special, and I offer these little tips so that you can enjoy this accommodation as much as I have. I cannot express enough how beautiful and magical the location is with the surrounding jungle covered mountains. For context. I am a solo female traveler. I felt very safe in this remote location. I had a suv rental from Adobe (very excellent car rental). I didn't need the 4wd, but had it been raining, then I likely would have used it a bit. Definitely need the high clearance on the vehicle. There was only 1 spot that required the clearance when i visited. I used the downhill assist when driving into the valley. That was very useful, and easier on the brakes. Driving back from Santa Elena in the dark was fine for me. Thank you to the hosts for having such beautiful and unique accommodations.
