Monteverde Lodge Review
The well-established Costa Rica Expeditions operates this longtime favorite and can put together a plethora of mix-and-match packages that include lodging, nature activities, and transportation from San José. Rooms have vaulted ceilings, bathtubs—an amenity rarely seen here—and great views. A table abuts the angled bay window overlooking the 15 acres of grounds, a perfect place to have a cup of coffee and bird-watch from indoors. The restaurant and bar congregate around an enormous but cozy lobby fireplace. Relax in the whirlpool tub in the enormous solarium, a perfect place to unwind after a day of tromping through the reserves. Or take in the evening slide presentation, showcasing cloud forest life.

apumlaw, from Miami
Do yourself a favor and do not stay at this hotel. My girlfriend and I stayed two nights at $150/night. The hotel lacked a television and looked liked a room from the 1970's. Further, the atmosphere was boring and the concierge tried to rip me off on at least one occasion. Breakfast was not very good and its cost was not included in my rate. This hotel was subpar, it's rate was absurd, and I am unhappy I stayed there.
