Koora hotel was fantastic! The rooms were great, the food was delicious, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It was amazing to witness agutis, coatis and monkeys in the hotel area. The pools were nice and warm, and a lot of fun for the kids. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Monteverde!
