  My girlfriend and I spent 3 nights at Monteverde Lodge and Gardens. We were initially excited for our stay until we arrived at the hotel. Be aware that there is no AC and there is no mini fridge in the room. The first night we spent there was the worst. We decided to eat at the restaurant and reserve the table in the butterfly garden. It is open to the outside so my girlfriend ran back to the room to change into pants and a jacket since there were mosquitos. I was very disappointed in my meal and felt like my steak tasted like it was microwaved. My girlfriend is vegan and was happy to have an option to eat on the menu. She said her meal was tasty, but the portion was small and she was felt feeling hungry. Usually she has the opposite problem of portions being too big when we eat out. Both of us were disappointed in our meal, especially because our entrees were expensive and cost about $30 each. Later that night we had lots of bugs and some mosquitos in our room and we did not have the doors open at all so we aren’t sure why there were so many. We wondered if the cleaning ladies maybe left the balcony doors open while they were cleaning earlier. I had to kill over 10 bugs in the room before we went to bed and some of them were pretty big. I got bit in the night and my girlfriend got freaked out when a bug landed on her face and woke her up in the night. The beds are not comfortable either. Again, no AC but there is a ceiling fan but we burned up that first night. This hotel is charging a lot of money for an experience we do not want to have again. They are charging way too much and we feel that we certainly did not get the value we paid for. We also stayed right around the corner at Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco in Monteverde and it was excellent. It was slightly less money for a LOT more value. For basically the same price we had a room with AC, a mini fridge, the beds were much more comfortable with a spacious California king, our room and bathroom was much, much bigger and nicer and we even had our own private hot tub and dining area. If anyone asked us, we would strongly recommend Poco a Poco over Monteverde Lodge. Seriously, your overall stay will be so much better. We regret spending so much money at Monteverde Lodge. What we did appreciate about Monteverde Lodge and Gardens is that the waitstaff and reception is very friendly and helpful. At breakfast each morning they greeted me by first name. The breakfast and portions were great. They have a small heated pool which we enjoyed. The pictures of the hotel online are very nice and because of the price we had expected better quality of our room. They need to either make serious improvements to the rooms or lower their price substantially, at least add a hot tub next to the pool for how much they are charging. For almost $350 per night we expect a luxury hotel experience and Monteverde Lodge is 3 stars at best.

  3 nights spent here felt the right number. Staff is very welcoming and genuine, they even learn your name by heart. The structure is not too fancy but still enjoyable, clean and comfortable. We also liked all food and drinks from the restaurant/bar.

  Maybe the best place to stay in Monte Verde. . . Great staff, beautiful gardens, heated outdoor pool, and good food. At this point still recovering from the Covid tourism drought with low occupancy.
