8/10 Good
"Beautiful property with outstanding staff and services, but the standard rooms are starting to show their age. The beds, sheets, pillows, we're great. The room itself has seen better days. There was some mold around the tub, the tub was stained, outlets were few, and the lighting was harsh. Highlights are the amazing hot springs, the gardens and the pool bar. The restaurant could be better for the price."

Noah's Forest by Tifakara

10/10 Excellent
"Everything about this place was amazing. The staff, the gardens, and the wildlife were all top notch! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that wants a luxurious resort feel with exceptional staff. The only downside to our experience was that we paid for the delux river bungalow but there was no view of the river from our room at all. If I would have known that, I would have been fine with the garden bungalows because it was the same view. Other than that, we truly enjoyed our stay here and would definitely do it again!"

Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hot Springs

Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent stay. Food is ok…breakfast and dinner are not that great but breakfast is free. Dinner is not. Other than that, once you hike the volcano and check out the waterfall, there isn’t much else to do in the town so the resort is the most exciting thing to do and will be a highlight of your trip. Let them take you on a sightseeing tour and they’ll spot animals for you that you wouldn’t otherwise see. Horseback riding, coffee tours, etc. truly impeccable place. if they improved the food quality, this place would be a 100/100"

10/10 Excellent
"An absolutely beautiful stay in Monteverde. CR! The hotel was gorgeous, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully designed. The aesthetics and attention to detail throughout the property really stood out, creating a relaxing and upscale atmosphere. The breakfast was excellent with a great experience with limited options. I also really appreciate the complimentary coffee, especially while enjoying the beautiful views surrounding the property. It was the perfect way to start the day and take in the incredible scenery of Monteverde. Overall, a wonderful hotel with beautiful surroundings, great amenities, and a memorable atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Monteverde."
