I just stayed at Sunset Hotel for my 3rd time. Every time I have gone to Monteverde I have stayed there whether it be with friends or family. The owner is an older German gentleman and he couldn't be nicer. Honestly, I think he is the "ideal" owner and the best I have ever come across in any country. The... More

I would echo the prior reviews. The grounds and private hiking trail are beautiful and you get great views of the sunset and lake Nicoya. Breakfast is simple but tastes good and is cooked for you personally by the owner, who is friendly and very helpful. The rooms are ok. Slightly dark inside, and we didn't have maid service while...

A really reasonably priced option in Monteverde. The owner is so sweet and helped up with recommendations on things to do. The sunsets are stunning and worth staying a little way up the mountain. The rooms are nothing special, but clean and warm. Bring a jacket! Monteverde can get chilly.

We stayed at Sunset Hotel for 2 nights and booked through Anywhere Costa Rica. The hotel and grounds are beautiful outside. The accomodations were simple - don't go looking for a TV here - but they were perfect for us. The manager/owner was amazing, an extremely friendly German transplant that has been in the area for years and knows all... More

Small hotel in Monteverde, with a great view. It is a family own hotel, with cousy rooms and tiny restaurant. It has hot water and good bed. The hotel offers trails for visitors who want to enjoy the cloud forest behind the property. It is very affordable and the service is great! definitelly a nice place to stay when you... More

It is a simple but very good hotel. the owner is very simpatic and really atencious. The hotel is a little bit far from the little center but It is near the tours and parks. It has a amazing view of the Nicoya Gulf and the pacific. There are lots of trees there with fruits and birds and the breakfast... More

We spent there a couple nights. It is a place a little bit hard to find but is worth! Although if you are traveling with kids having a car would be nice (the place is on top of the hill). For me what motivated me to write a review was the great great service that we got from Vitalis- the... More

This has the potential to be a lovely place, with a little more TLC. I got the impression they maybe fell on a bit of hard times, and its not what it once was. The owner Vitalis and his son Robert are charming. Very friendly and interested in chatting, learning about travelers, and helping with arrangements for tours etc. But... More

the owner was very helpful. the rooms are basic and nice the only problem is that you can hear the next room (and they can hear you) the location is great , very close to salvatura park, coffee tour and the city (but you must have a car, it is not on the city)

We spent four nights here in March 2012. The owner is very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable and cooks a good breakfast! The room was very basic, but clean; and the sunsets from the front porch were incredible. It's a little way out of Santa Elena, but the owner is more than willing to help arrange transportation (as well as other... More
