This lodge was indeed as described. It was rustic. Ourselves and another couple stayed two nights in Feb/2013. The cost of each room included 3 meals and entry to the reserve - a very good value. The dining area and the dining manager were fantastic. The breakfast and lunch meals were very good. The included dinner at Tramonti (a 4... More

We stayed here one night inbetween stays at Arenal and Manuel Antonio, so wanted to maximize our time at the Reserve. We stayed in a room with a private bath. The room was small with 2 beds, and a large bathroom/shower. It had large windows looking out into the lush forest (with curtains). These rooms were on the bottom floor,... More

After a warm welcome by Paula we enjoyed to be right in the nature of Monteverde Cloud Forest. Being a guest here allows you to enter the park ahead of the day tourists, which we did at 5:30 in the morning. Afterwards a hearty, healthy breakfast can be ordered in the restaurant. We picked this lodge for being close to... More

When doing research for places to stay around Monteverde, I came across the Biological Nature Reserve, so I booked a night for my mother, brother, and I. Looking for something different from the typical "gringo" lodging experience, and also being interested in nature, it was at our expectation to take a guided tour through the trails. Unfortunately our schedule didn't... More
