Nambi Monteverde

Monteverde

"Great location near Monteverde—close to hiking and nature, yet peaceful and private. One morning we even spotted green parrots from the back of the home, which was a lovely surprise. The property is new and well-maintained, with a smart layout that worked well for our family. We appreciated the 1.5 bathrooms and access to a washer and dryer, which made our stay more convenient. The air conditioning in both rooms worked perfectly, keeping us cool. Inside, the home felt fresh and modern. We...

"These cabins are a bird watchers paradise. We saw over 40 species from the deck of our rustic little cabin. This location is out of the way. If you are driving yourself you will need 4 wheel drive as the driveway is steep and a bit rocky. Romey will work with you to get you a ride if you need one at a fair price. Just communicate ahead of time so he can arrange a driver!! We had the opportunity to ride horses to a beautiful private waterfall with “Eddy” This was an amazing experience,...

Top San José Hotel Reviews

Hotel Linda Vista

8/10 Good

"their breakfast is so nice! but it's surprisingly no body wash provided. & no uber driver is willing to come pick up clients. a staff in the hotel introduced a driver to us & USD 85 we paid ( we went out for dinner @walk distance + sent us to another hotel/tour gathering spot + pick us back to hotel linda vista we waited for around 45mins)"

Sangregado Lodge

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed Sangregado Lodge. Upon arrival, we were greeted and offered fresh coconut water, which was a nice touch. The highlight of this lodge is the spectacular view of the Arenal valley. The lodge had very few to no amenities but its location high up in the mountain made it feel more remote and less touristy than the resorts on the main La Fortuna road. The room was spacious and we slept comfortably. The lodge doesn’t have a restaurant so they partnered with the Lost Iguana resort (which is a 3 min drive) so that guests can have breakfast or dinner there. It worked well but if you’re looking for a hotel with amenities and the convenience of a restaurant, this doesn’t provide it. All in all, we enjoyed our stay here and felt the view from the balcony was second to none."

Koora Hotel by Sandglass

10/10 Excellent

"Our family absolutely loved Koora Hotel. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely cared for by the staff (especially Jason who has already reached out to me in advance to understand our arrival time) and fell in love with the setting, which is nestled beautifully into the mountain forest. The service was impeccable, and the view overlooking the Monteverde cloud forest from the restaurant was truly epic. The food was so fantastic that we ended up eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner there just to sample as much of the menu as possible—the fresh tropical fruit juices and local cuisine were highlights! Our Forest Room was incredibly cozy, and the overall design of the hotel is beautiful. We also loved how perfectly positioned the hotel is. It’s a stone’s throw from the amazing San Lucas Treetop Dining experience and literally ten steps away from Natuwa Reserve, where we took a lovely tour and saw sloths up close. I can’t say enough good things about this fantastic hotel. Highly recommended!"

Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Tabacón for one night, and it was the perfect way to experience the property. The thermal hot springs are absolutely beautiful and feel very natural, with multiple pools and waterfalls surrounded by lush rainforest. It was peaceful, relaxing, and unlike any other hot springs we’ve visited. The grounds are immaculate, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. My only wish is that we had stayed longer to fully enjoy everything the resort has to offer. If you’re visiting the Arenal area and want a luxury experience immersed in nature, Tabacón is well worth it."
