Guest reviews Cloud Forest Lodge, Monteverde

by rookietravlr Winnipeg, Canada

The bare necessities

Clean and comfortable overall. The WiFi was reliable in the room which was appreciated. They really need some ventilation- it’s very hot in the afternoon and downright cold at night. The property is lovely-the trails are quiet and clearly marked. The view from the main lodge is special-the bird feeders add additional interest. Close to Santa Elena with the taxi charging 6-8$. The food was not great

Great location in nature

Superb location with your head almost in the clouds. Our room below the bar/restaurant was large with 2 double beds in 2 rooms and large bathroom. Easy to sit outside the room and look for birds and animals. Restaurant was good with a variety of foods offered. Staff was attentive. Complimentary breakfast offered a wide selection of items to choose from. The true selling point of this lodge is the bar deck area. Hummingbird feeders have the birds flitting right in front of you while the bird stands attract other species. Make sure you are here at least one night to view the spectacular sunset. Front desk staff is very friendly, knowledgable and fluent in english.

3 night stay in the canopy

Great place to stay. We enjoyed the peace and tranquility, despite the howler monkey noise. Meal were good and the breakfast superb. We enjoyed staying in our cabin, felt very rustic. We also liked the trails for the hotel through the forest. All in all an excellent place to stay, not even too far out of town, within walking distance, especially if you’re used to hills.

Very nice place with lovely surroundings

Very nice hotel with good restaurant, nice view and lovely surroundings. Nice staff, clean and fresh. Large rooms suitable for a family. A plus with colobris in the garden and trails just around the corner.

It’s a lovely spot, nice people, basic but nice chalet, good food

It’s not the cheapest, but you get a reasonable amount for your money in a great setting. The staff are super friendly and helpful. We only stayed one night as the decision to come see the cloud forest was so late, so we didn’t get to see as much wildlife as we wanted. Lunch and breakfast were substantial and very tasty. The guided night walk was disappointing in how much we saw, but the enthusiasm, knowledge and general friendliness of the guide made up for that. Sitting and watching hummingbirds eat in the bushes from the restaurant balcony after breakfast was a treat.
