"Good room with all the facilities. Fast WiFi. Right in the center of Santa Elena ( great location). There isn’t a reception or a commom area like a tradicional hotel."

"We had to change last minute and the Villas Macadamia had a casita. Turned out to be the best place we have stayed. Plenty of space for the whole family, close to town and quiet. "

"El Tigre is a beautiful place to stay. The service from Andrea, Randy and team was amazing…even though the location is remote, we had everything we needed thanks to their exemplary customer service. The hike to the waterfalls was incredible and we loved the villa. Great blend of activity and relaxation. Just a perfect long weekend in the Bamboo House with our daughter!"

"The staff was amazing!! Could not do enough for you. The room was very nice and clean, the views from the property were beautiful. We did not know there was a little town not far til the day we left, that was disappointing. The road to the lodge was unpaved and unlit, it was good the dining room and menu had good variety cuz after dark we weren’t driving anywhere. I wish they had had a hot tub and spa, would have been a nice option."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This beautiful hotel is small, quiet and elegant. The forest rooms opened to beautiful landscape with a small patio to sit. The included breakfast was made to order and the dinner was fabulous. Lastly, the hotel reception was super attentive; one afternoon we needed a taxi from a soda and I just messaged them on Whatsapp and they took care of it. "
"It is a campus by itself, they provide free ride to various facilities. We got a clear view of the cone-shaped Adrenal mountain from the balcony. So much green vegetation all around. The room is large and convenient. The staff are very friendly. Food in the restaurant is great but the menu is same every day. I will highly recommend it to my friends."
"There were so many good things about this hotel!
Staff: friendly, accommodating, welcoming. Nella, Christopher and Chris (Kiko) were particularly engaging and lovely — everyone else was really nice too…!
Location: gorgeous views; quiet area; zero traffic; accessible distance to other attractions (La Fortuna; hanging bridges; Arenal 1968; etc.)
Property: villas were spacious, comfortable, private. Restaurant on site was easy to access, serving delicious foods. Two pools (one warm, one cool) allowed for great options; property was maintained very well, clean and pleasing.
We would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the area of Nuevo Arenal…!"
"This hotel is luxurious with incredible views of Arenal Volcano. The room was clean and spacious. The meals and drinks were delicious and fresh. The pool and hot tub were the cherry on top. The staff is friendly and helpful, and I highly recommend this hotel! "
"Not the fanciest place (but Monteverde isn’t about fancy), but the place with the most character of all our stays in CR. Friendly staff, family environment, and very communal dining areas conducive to meeting other travellers."
