Koora Hotel by Sandglass
10/10 Excellent
"Koora es un hotel espectacular que ofrece una experiencia única desde el primer momento. La bienvenida es cálida y personalizada, incluso con el detalle especial de que el staff sabía nuestros nombres, lo que hizo que la estadía se sintiera cercana y exclusiva. El servicio fue excepcional en todo momento. Las habitaciones son amplias, cómodas y con una vista impresionante al bosque nuboso de Monteverde, lo que convierte cada amanecer en algo mágico. La propuesta gastronómica del restaurante es deliciosa, con platos frescos y muy bien preparados. Además, la ubicación es perfecta: rodeada de naturaleza pero a pocos minutos del centro de Monteverde. Sin duda, un lugar para volver y recomendar al 100%."
