We opted for one of the smaller cabinas, the only thing I would recommend is to ask to be in the main area, ours were kind of on the side on the walkway leading up to the place and felt a little secluded from the nice central courtyard. The reception was very informative and helpful. The location is perfect to... more

When we arrived there, the place looked even better than the pictures. I loved that you have your own little cottage with one room. Staff was very friendly with helping us set up our tours. I recommend taking the breakfast because for the money paid you get a lot of great food. The tour guide for our Cloud Forest tour... more

Rustic and serene surroundings. It is a simple place and the staff were helpful in getting us tours. We had an amazing guide Adrian who took us to the Cloud Forest - he was excellent! Also know that you will find bugs...it is the Cloud Forest.... There is a breakfast for $7 which is a mix of continental and Latin... more

Compared with the other places we stayed in CR, this place was not as good. The noise was the worst, but if you stay in Santa Elena, you will probably hear it. We did not see any wildlife here and the breakfast was expensive. The room and bath were very small. more

All in all a lovely place and much nicer than we expected of "ecolodges". Helpful staff, clean rooms, and great grounds. Breakfast very fresh right from the garden. The hotel is practically right in town - it's hard to see from the photos, but we walked down to the main strip of Monteverde on a number of occasions - only... more

I absolutely loved this hotel! My boyfriend and I stayed in one of the cabins for three nights. The cabin (as well as the public areas) was very clean and cozy. There's no AC in the room, but you don't need it in Monteverde. The grounds of the hotel are very beautiful, and at breakfast one morning we were visited... more

Everything were more than perfect, located in the center of Santa Elena. Nicely design and clean, if you are lucky wild monkey will visit you are your breakfast place. more

We stayed in the "Big House." This is a separate building with 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed. There is also a fully furnished kitchen. The house looks recently built. It is separated from the rest of the lodge further up the hill. Unless you are in good shape, the climb could leave you winded. The view is of... more

We completely lucked out by stumbling across this place! 3 friends and I had been working on plans for a trip around Costa Rica. One of the guys in our group found out about Arco Iris through a photography blog he frequents. The photographer had stayed there on a trip to Monteverde which, coincidentally, was where we were planning to... more
