I absolutely loved the dining experience here! The food was quality was excellent. I will say they do need have ventilation in their units as the condensation makes everything totally wet. Also, the drive up is unpaved and very bumpy. Get an all wheel drive rental. I do still recommend this place and I would stay here again.

Bird lovers will adore the dining room seating with hummingbirds, toucans, orioles, motmots and more easily viewable all hours of the day. Rooms are spacious and hot water in showers is fantastic! Thought we would have view from porch but alas no… it’s a lovely outdoor space but we didn’t use it much. Wood fireplace in lobby / dining area is wonderful way to warm up and dry out after hiking the were cloud forests. Observation deck provides stunning views of the sunset and lake with awesome cloud formations. We rented four wheel drive and it was reassuring to have it driving up the steep dirt road to reception. Staff is friendly and helpful locating guides for cloud forest tours and more. Pre-ordering breakfast was a nice touch to make sure we had food ready at 630a to make our 7a tour start time.

Very friendly staff and great restaurant. Beautiful view from the restaurant and bar. The food was fantastic! There is fun wildlife all around the property, all able to be viewed while having breakfast! However, We didn't like that this was a zip lining property, on the surrounding hiking trails there were many cables strangling large beautiful trees and noisy construction due to zip line maintenance. The rooms did not have a refrigerator or air-conditioning or heating or TV. A ceiling fan would have been nice. These conditions made the bedding moist and smelly. If you are planning on doing a night tour, I would recommend doing it at a different facility. A pleasant stay overall.

We recently visited Monteverde and had an amazing experience. The staff are very attentive to our needs and assist in a very timely manner. They are excellent with customer service. The restaurant views are just breathtaking as you can see Toucans, a variety of different Costa Rican birds, and zipliners. (One minor recommendation is the rooms need to be updated and there is a lot of space and not very good utilization...)
