Staying at the hotel was a wonderful experience with breathtaking views surrounded by the lush forest of Monteverde. The rooms were spacious and offered great comfort, though they could use a bit more modern decor. The service was very accommodating, and I particularly enjoyed the delicious dining options prepared by an excellent chef. However, the location, while picturesque, requires some effort to access local attractions. Overall, it's a great spot for those looking to unwind in nature, even with a few drawbacks.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, nestled in an amazing forest with breathtaking views. The rooms were spacious and modern, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. Although the service was helpful, it wasn't always prompt, which was slightly disappointing. The dining was delightful, featuring fresh seasonal fruits and meals prepared by an excellent chef. However, I did find the Wi-Fi to be unreliable at times, which was a bit bothersome. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature.
