"We loved our stay at Hotel Poco a Poco! The location is perfect—close to town but still peaceful—and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with recommendations. Our room was clean and cozy, and the restaurant served excellent meals. The only downside was that the pool and jacuzzi were under renovation during our visit, but everything else more than made up for it. Highly recommended for a Monteverde stay!"
"This is a family run hotel and the service was excellent throughout. Cristina welcomed us and was so very helpful with everything we needed.
Convenient for town and with a couple of good local restaurants on the doorstep."

"Comfortable but not super relaxing. White light everywhere and colorful flashing LED lights around the jacuzzi. Quite jarring. The entire hotel needs an urgent remodel. It looks very dated and old"
"We went to celebrate my wife's birthday, and the Tabacón Team took it from there.
After a long journey in, we arrived at an enthusiastic Bell Staff that quickly had us unloaded and onto a golf cart to whisk us away to our room. The entire welcoming process set a marvelous tone for the next few days.
Every interaction with each staff member left us with a memorable impression. The profession of hospitality is not lost here.
The restaurants are well-staffed, and the food is excellent. Breakfast each morning was a treat of Costa Rican and other international flavors. Try it all.
The Spa team was the best we have experienced on any continent. Their technique, rapport, and amenities are not to be missed. We treated ourselves to the couples massage that was followed by our own personal hot tub.
The property is immaculate and well-maintained. You are the very edge of the forest, where you can witness all manner of flora and fauna.
We were so impressed that we will be bringing all 12 of us next time.
Thank you. "
