We stayed in a family suite with a king bed and 2 twins in a loft. The room was stunning as we entered...2 story high ceilings, loft, entirely wood paneled walls and ceilings, beautiful wood detail on loft rail, natural rock accents. If we didn't have a car, I'm sure we would have quickly tired of the long uphill walk... more

If you plan to stay at the Heleconia I would recommend the upper units for the panoramic view - it really is spectacular and we enjoyed some time on the balcony taking it all in. On a clear day you can see the Gulf de Nicoya. The rooms are spacious and clean and for the most part the shuttle was... more

This hotel is in need of some upgrading. Our room was a decent size, very big comfortable beds but the room was decidedly drafty and cold, badly lit and the bathroom needed to be replaced. Staff were okay, but the overall feel of the place was rundown. Breakfast were okay, as was the restaurant. However there are better restaurants nearby,... more

While this hotel had some charm, I doubt I'd stay again. We were in a room on the very top, which was a 20 minute hike straight up a mountain. The breakfast, not included, was awful and over priced. Most annoying, however, was that we were totally ripped off by the travel desk--"Flora and Fauna." They assured us that we'd... more

MONTEVERDE AREA: We chose Monteverde for part of our honeymoon as I'd heard it was beautiful, and it did not disappoint. We did the zip lines at sky trek which has the longest and highest lines in the area, and it was fantastic; we also hiked through the national park which was truly spectacular, and very different than the forests... more

We spent 2 nights each at 4 different hotels throughout Costa Rica and loved them all EXCEPT this one. We had room 302 in one of the older buildings half way up the hill. It was what they call a Master Suite that has 2 king beds and a queen up in a loft. We went with our 3 kids... more

We stayed in this hotel for two days in April and like it a lot. We had a nice and big room in the "300s". Yes, it's uphill, but we didn't even consider the shuttle! It's fun having a little walk in the evening, after all, you're in a mountainous area! Breakfast was OK, food in the restaurant as well... more

First, this hotel has spacious, beautiful rooms and gorgeous views. Be prepared to do some climbing though, as the rooms are spaced out along the side of a mountain. The shuttle will carry you up to your room if you have the patience to wait. Don't expect a lot of luxuries in the room, such as a TV or soap.... more
