great place

I had a great time here- the views and the cabin did not disappoint. We heard howler monkeys, and saw a few animals and variety of birds. The room was comfy and reception was very helpful explaining/planning the activities. Would stay again.

Manfred made checking in easy and not a hassle what so ever. The rooms had a vibe of their own and the shower actually had some good pressure. You can hear howler monkeys both morning and night and feel submerged in the jungle

Friendly staff. Lovely grounds around the bungalows

This was a lovely hotel that allowed us to submerge ourselves in the rainforest. We enjoyed watching the wildlife from our porch. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and happy hour was a hit. The staff were friendly and very helpful when needed. I would highly recommend this hotel for your next trip to Monteverde.

Everything was very good

We enjoyed our stay very much. The highlight was that the cabin was surrounded by nature and we felt like we were secluded in the jungle. We heard the howler monkeys at night and were delighted by many Coati foraging in the forest right in front of our cabin. There were even probably 20 baby ones! The Agoutis were also a delight. Breakfast at the Ficus hotel was excellent. The hotel was walkable to downtown.

The greatest. Nicest staff, remote location with walking trails yet easily walkable to the center of Monteverde (which is a cool little mountain town). Getting there earns you triple traveler points.

Great location, breakfast and staff. Loved being surrounded by nature but centrally located.

This property was right in the trees/jungle and we saw Howler monkeys, Capuchin monkeys, and Quatimundi right from our front porch. That was magical. It was noisy at night at times because of the wildlife, but still worth it. The place was clean, nice, and the people very helpful.

Nice cabin-style rooms in dense foliage, yet within a few blocks walking distance to: an excellent restaurant and craft cocktail bar (Natu Speakeasy), a fun leafy sportsbar with live entertainment (Tree House), and delicious coffee, sandwiches and pastries (at Zuccaro). The hotel bar, restaurant and breakfast area were also terrific. Special thanks to front desk receptionist Manfred who was so helpful in sharing ideas to explore that beautiful area. Definitely plan to return.

The setting is beautiful and the staff is wonderful. The room was in a beautiful jungle setting. The bed was not so good- I could feel the springs. There was no heat in the room. I found blankets for the second night. Breakfast was okay but not as good as other places I have stayed in CR

The room is clean and dark so good for sleeping. The walls are a bit thin if you are super sensitive to noise. You have to walk awhile for breakfast (but you could drive), so if you have an elderly person, it could be a bit of a walk! But the breakfast is pretty nice and the view is really nice. This is right in town. There’s a fun bridge to walk to for going to some of the rooms and nature is all around—you might see monkeys or toucans if you get up on the earlier side. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. You will want to be friends with them!

We loved this hotel! I was apprehensive after reading a few of the reviews, but after staying here, I couldn’t be happier to report this is the place to stay! Quaint rustic cabins, tucked in the jungle with monkeys, coati, agouti & motmots right outside your door. If you’re planning a stay in Monteverde, you won’t be disappointed with Jaguarundi!
