10/10 Excellent
"An absolutely beautiful stay in Monteverde. CR! The hotel was gorgeous, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully designed. The aesthetics and attention to detail throughout the property really stood out, creating a relaxing and upscale atmosphere. The breakfast was excellent with a great experience with limited options. I also really appreciate the complimentary coffee, especially while enjoying the beautiful views surrounding the property. It was the perfect way to start the day and take in the incredible scenery of Monteverde. Overall, a wonderful hotel with beautiful surroundings, great amenities, and a memorable atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Monteverde."

Sangregado Lodge

Sangregado Lodge

8/10 Good
"Though the balcony provides you with a beautiful view, it is a very excluded property where you must drive uphill towards (especially difficult at night). Convenient as it was right across from mistico hanging bridges, but still a drive away to other attractions in la fortuna. The rooms had quite a bit of insects (mostly lizards and ants), and if you wanted to talk to the reception you had to walk there as there were no phones in the room. You also had to drive to breakfast as it was located at a different hotel. There was no restaurant on site, no gym and no pool. I would recommend staying here if you wanted a beautiful secluded view of the volcano (if you get lucky during rainy season). Other than that, it was a little out of the way and difficult to drive into."

10/10 Excellent
"Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in diesem einzigartigen Resort. Wegen der Nebensaison bekamen wir ein kostenloses Upgrade. Das Zimmer war geräumig, großzügig eingerichtet mit sehr bequemen Betten. Rund um die Gebäude gibt es verschiedene Wanderpfade. Das Resort produziert viele der im Restaurant verwendeten Zutaten selbst, alles ökologisch angebaut. Das Personal ist überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend, die Bar bietet einen herrlichen Blick auf den Golf von Nicoya."
