There is literally nothing i bad i can say about this trip. The staff were so lovely. I love exotic fruits, the staff members were kind enough to teach me how to eat these new fruits. I can’t thank them enough for how well they have treated me in general.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Koora Hotel in Monteverde. The suite was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered breathtaking views of the cloud forest and beyond. The location is ideal—close to town and major attractions, yet peaceful and surrounded by nature. We especially loved having both the Aguti Biological Reserve and the Natuwa Wildlife Sanctuary right next door, where we enjoyed scenic trails and spotted local wildlife up close. The service was excellent, warm, and attentive throughout our stay. The breakfasts were delicious, and the bar and restaurant were a great place to relax in the evenings. Koora Hotel offers the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty—a great choice for families visiting Monteverde.

Room was smaller than expected but it was clean. TV did not have cable but Netflix and Prime video so more than ample. Dining staff were world class and meals well presented. If a person is handicapped some of the walkway could be an issue with the grade. Front desk staff (starts with an M) was quick efficient and a terrific representative for the accommodation. Overall We liked this place. The roads were a bit of a challenge but just take your time and you will be fine. I would certainly recommend. Watch for their 2 nights and 1 free. We missed that one but oh well. Pathways and hiking are nice but the chance of seeing a sloth in the wild has less odds than finding Jimmy Hoffa. Do yourself a favor and go to the sanctuary next door and pay $ as it was totally worth it and we saw 12 sloths.. Have a great trip

Excellent hotell with friendly and service minded

Exclusive hotel in the middle of the cloudforest with the most service minded staff we have ever encountered. Excellent food and coctails. Two smaller pools that was nice to warm up in after rainy hikes. Lots of animals on the premises. The sun sets were spectacular.

This hotel was absolutely beautiful and each room was perfect for our stay. We traveled as a family of four and had two rooms that adjoined every staff member was so helpful, friendly, and truly went out of their way to make us feel special and to make sure we had an amazing vacation. This hotel was central to all of the excursions that you want to do in the surrounding area and close to many other restaurants off the property. The view from the hotel restaurant is breathtaking.

Thank you to the staff of Koora for a perfect stay. From the time you step out of your car, valet service greets you and helps unload your luggage. Raquel at the front desk is really good. Damien at the restaurant is great. Some of the best service we’ve ever had at a hotel. The views are unforgettable. The animals and nature are all around the property. We saw a family of Coati come through regularly.

Luxury in Monteverde

We arrived much too early but they were able and happy to accommodate us early and on top of that we were given an upgrade as Expedia VIP guests to their best rooms. This was the loveliest hotel that we've ever stayed in. Wonderful views to the Pacific, luxurious room and amenities, a hummingbird singing in the tree outside and to top it all off we had a private plunge pool with hot water warm enough to ease all the aches and pains of a long hike through the Agouti Reserve adjoining the hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful, always smiling and interested in our day. One of our new favourites!

I truly enjoyed this property as one of the best throughout my travels in Costa Rica. From arrival to departure, the fine tuned service was 5 star. Breakfast was included where you are served and not buffet style. We had dinner there 2 nights and the food was amazing. Marco is an outstanding manager and his leadership is evident via his employees. I was impressed by the staff recognizing the guests by name. I will recommend this hotel to all my friends and those reading this, that the cottages "in the clouds" is worth the trip to Monteverde.

Family Stay in Monteverde

This was the best service I’ve ever had at a hotel! Their attention to detail with our names, and the small gestures to make my kids feel special were amazing! Aaron was so great to take care of us everyday we were there. The room was beautiful and the food was excellent! We would definitely come back to this hotel!

Modern room in the cloud forest

Classy modern room - one of the nicest we’ve stayed in - bathroom is straight out of an interior design magazine. Service is top-notch…with a small number of guests, they learn your names and go out of your way to make you feel comfortable. Love the setting on a woodsy mountainside. Nice trail system on the property. The two small pools are bathwater warm - would love it if they were hot tubs but they were still nice.

A stunning hotel with excellent service and attention to detail. The rooms were clean, welll lit and of an excellent standard. We used the heated pools and firepit at night. The dining area was gorgeous with a sunset view. We saw a sloth and monkeys during our breakfast. The breakfast was served from a menu rather than a buffet. All the staff were accommodating to our dietary needs and made food to our liking.

A really beautiful hotel with the best staff I’ve ever experienced. Very thoughtful and attentive and knew my whole family’s name instantly. The restaurant at the hotel is incredible, the food and drinks were 5 star and the view from the restaurant was so beautiful. We saw coatis in the morning, a sloth in the tree outside the lobby and howler moneys in the beautiful trail behind the hotel. It was truly a memorable experience and I would highly recommend staying at this hotel.

Hotel is beautiful, restaurant was excellent. We had breakfast every morning and it was delish. The room was gorgeous, only bad thing was there was no tv in the room. Also the roads to the Hotel and to Monteverde in general were horrible, potholes everywhere and unpaved roads. Aside from that everything was wonderful. The trail in the Hotel was great, we recommend, saw wild animals. Very attentive staff :)
