It’s a nice little hotel tucked away in the small town of Monteverde. It has a nice pool and close proximity to the area attractions and dining options. Safe, clean and a decent breakfast spread.

Fabulous

Stayed for 2 nights. Buffet style breakfast which was excellent. Fantastic pool and grounds. Staff excellent. Some lovely restaurants in Monteverde but not an easy walk if you have any mobility issues. We loved it. Also 5 minute walk to the “ficus tree”. Would recommend doing the San Juan, sugar cane, chocolate and coffee tour and the hanging bridges.

Awesome place to stay in Santa Elena

This was such a great place to stay. So close to the town, and very walkable yet it felt like you were away from everything when at the hotel. Great place for families. Their trails are fun to explore and make sure you check out the frog zoo down the road. Everyone had a great time.

Absolutely amazing hotel. It is beautiful and staff is very friendly and helpful. The gardens in the property were a nice surprise. The pool is covered and warm, so we were able to enjoy during a warm rainy evening. The food in the restaurant was also really good.

The road from La Fortuna to Monteverde is an adventure in and if itself! Very drivable but bumpy! The cloudforest sits atop the mountains! Poco a Poco has beautiful rooms on beautiful property. We walked the paths on site with flowers, forestry, and butterflies! We had a wonderful relaxing massage at the Spa. I would definitely recommend!

The property was very nice with walking paths around and lots of outdoor sitting areas. The pool and hot tub were covered and looked great, but we did not use either. The food in the restaurant was also very good. The only things we would have changed is a softer bed and with the windows behind the shutters open it could be a little noisy. Unfortunately we didn’t notice they were open until we were checking out. Would definitely stay here again.

Short and to the point

Stayed one night and overall was nice. Staff is friendly. Rooms are a bit small but comfortable. Avoid the restaurant if you can. Food not as fresh. Haf to return the fish and steak was not cooked right. Swimming pool is very small and covered(no sun).

The hotel is well maintained around the grounds with a nice walking trail. The staff were helpful and friendly. The room was mostly nice except some ants crawling around the coffee maker and the mattress in our room was very used and old; I could feel the springs coming through. I can sleep on the ground w/o issues but someone with back problems wouldn't do well there.

Aug 15, 2022

The hotel is just okay. There is no a/c and I understand they are trying to be sustainable but the least they could do is have a small fan for the room. Our room had a small 2x2 window that opened which didn’t give any airflow. The room just felt stuffy all the time! The bathroom doesn’t have a fan so even our fresh towels were damp 24/7. Nothing dries here including any water coming from the shower or sink. The door isn’t even properly sealed to the frame and the deadbolt didn’t work so it didn’t feel very safe. You can hear EVERYTHING because there is no proper seals to any door. No mini fridge so we couldn’t keep drinks cold or bring home food. Everyday our towels seem to dwindle. Started with 4 bath towels and the next day only had two and the following day our face clothes were gone. It’s clean in the room and the sheets had a strong cleaner smell. The hotel it’s self is nice to walk around but it smells like a sewer system near the entrance and the ramp to the pool. Drinks at the bar are good and the breakfast was good. Overall would not recommend this place.

Good experience overall

Great service. Excellent breakfast buffet and good restaurant. There is a lot of dining option in a walking distance also. Nice tropical garden where we can observe hummingbirds and a toucan. The only bothering thing was that the breaker of the A/C had to be repaired twice in 2 days (it get very humid in the room without ventilation even if it is not that warm) but we had service for it has soon as requested
