Hotels near Costa Rica Nature Pavilion

"Love it the place truely is peaceful "

"During our first trip to Costa Rica, we stayed at the stunning Hotel Mango Valley. Nestled in lush surroundings, the hotel offered not only breathtaking views but also invaluable local insights. The staff recommended incredible nearby attractions, including waterfalls, serene hot springs, and an engaging coffee tour, which were all standout experiences. While the hotel mostly impressed us, there were a few minor issues. The shower's water temperature fluctuated from very hot to cold, and running the toilet simultaneously further reduced the water pressure. Even if it wasn’t running, it was still similar to a beach shower. Despite this, it was manageable. We booked through Expedia, which meant our reservation did not include breakfast. However, we could purchase it at a reasonable price, and it was absolutely delicious. Overall, Hotel Mango Valley is a gem of a place, perfect for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty and adventure of Costa Rica. We'd definitely recommend it for its beauty and the overall quality of the stay."

"This lodge and spa is located in a valley between two mountain ranges at about 5000 feet (compared to Monte Verde 4300 feet) and is considered to be within the range of cloud forest. When we arrived, we were checked in and the host was very nice but failed to give us clear information of how to navigate the privately owned cloud forest with very hilly resort location and four water falls all within the property. Even though we mentioned that my wife is just recovering from knee surgery he completely ignored the fact. It was very cloudy and misty, and we wanted to finish the waterfall trail that evening. There are no clearly marked trail makers, nor the maps given were accurate. Maps were schematic and could not be relied upon for trekking. When my wife and I followed the trail, we reached a fork and had to decide to take either the mystery trail or melody trail. The map or the board showed no information on the level of difficulty. Our check in host just mentioned that they were both in a loop. We took the melody trail which turned out to be a big mistake and we struggled a lot in the hiking. This could have been easily avoided by any indication of difficulty levels by the guide, signboard, or the map. In any case, we made it. The waterfall was just OK, luckily while returning we took the mystery trail which was much easier and well paved though at some forks there were no sign. I do wish the property will improve so the visit will be much better for others in future. "
