"We loved our stay at Hotel Poco a Poco! The location is perfect—close to town but still peaceful—and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with recommendations. Our room was clean and cozy, and the restaurant served excellent meals. The only downside was that the pool and jacuzzi were under renovation during our visit, but everything else more than made up for it. Highly recommended for a Monteverde stay!"
"This is a family run hotel and the service was excellent throughout. Cristina welcomed us and was so very helpful with everything we needed.
Convenient for town and with a couple of good local restaurants on the doorstep."

"Beautiful property with lots of green walking trails. Rooms are nice and well stocked. Staff was friendly and very helpful. They even pointed out monkeys in the trees to us. "
"We loved the views of the lake and volcano, the food was great, the hiking trails were tons of fun, the dante waterfall was beautiful, and the staff were absolutely amazing! We loved Howard and our beautiful waitress with red hair! Also, don't let the shared bathrooms scare you away from the casona. It was an amazing room with the best view and toucans!"
"The property was very well kept. The breakfast offered a wide variety of foods to choose from. We enjoyed the thermal spa very much. The temperature was perfect for enjoying several hours in the pools. "
"Althouh we only stayed for a day but i can easily say that it is one of the best location to see and explore the volcano. We had issue with the generator making noise as the lights were out and they did not take time to help us relocate to another room. Also you can drive from within the property to a point to have better view of volcano. Breakfast in morning was excellent and lot of variety. I can keep on going with pools etc etc but overall a geniune 5 star review."
"Husband and I had a pleasant stay at chachagua. We arrived late at night and was greeted at the front desk with hand towels and fruit juice. Checking in was smooth and we were escorted to our bungalow (make sure to have a high car as you will drive through a low river).
Bungalow was private and very clean. The room was cleaned daily and there was eco friendly hair products and toiletries. Room has a mini fridge, coffee maker and fresh water daily.
Continental breakfast was amazing - at a restaurant on premises. Great selection!
The springs were great- wasn’t a lot of people and we were able to enjoy it solo.
The resort was beautiful and tranquil. You can hear the animals throughout the day esp the monkeys in the morning. We didnt get to see the monkey but we did see a sloth up in the tree- thanks to Ruben (who btw gave a great coffee/ chocolate tour).
Big thank you to all the staff members- from the gentleman who greets you when entering, front desk staff, house keeping, and restaurant waiters/waitresses. All very pleasant and super helpful when we had any questions or concerns.
Pura Vida. :)
