2-night trip

10/10

I truly enjoyed this property as one of the best throughout my travels in Costa Rica. From arrival to departure, the fine tuned service was 5 star. Breakfast was included where you are served and not buffet style. We had dinner there 2 nights and the food was amazing. Marco is an outstanding manager and his leadership is evident via his employees. I was impressed by the staff recognizing the guests by name. I will recommend this hotel to all my friends and those reading this, that the cottages "in the clouds" is worth the trip to Monteverde.
