Monteverde
Hi!<BR>I am going to be driving from Playa Samara to Monteverde. Does anyone know how long that will take? What is the best hotel in Monteverde? Should I spend 1 or 2 nights there? Thanks! Sarah

We were in Monteverde in March and stayed at the El Establo...we loved it. The rooms were beautiful with deep bathtubs. We had a Jr. Suite (sleeps 4 comfortably) and had great views of the sunset over Nicoya. We were within walking distance of alot of attractions and restaurants. You definitely need 2 nights I would think...one to unwind when you get there (and possibly do a night hike or the frog pond), the second to do a guided tour of the park and a self-tour of Selvatura. Have a wonderful time!

The Tempisque bridge is now open. It's a 4 hour drive from Samara to Monteverde. There is also a new daily shuttle on this route offered by monteverdeinfo.com for $38 per person. We found the Sapo Dorado on that site. The cabins were very nice but the restaurant was a bit expensive in my opinion. Because of the time it takes to get in and out of Monteverde we stayed 2 nights, there is many things to do including great horseback riding, hiking & canopy tour.
