Monteverde lodging - help!
I am very confused about where to stay in Monteverde in June 2005. I would love a rustic ambience with quiet and privacy and don't need to be near town. Also, we will have a car. Please advise!
Choices are as follows:
(1) Monteverde Lodge
(2) Fonda Vela
(3) Hotel Belmar
(4) Claro de Luna
(5) El Establo
Thank you!

Don't know if this will help you but we just got back from 2 weeks in CR. Stayed for three nights at Trapp Family Lodge in Monteverde and liked it very much. We stayed in the main house, it had the feel of an old hotel, large rooms, quiet, everything made of wood. Tip: the vegetarian restaurant in town is very good

Since you specifically said that you are looking for "a rustic ambience with quiet and privacy," I recommend El Sapo Dorado. Monteverde Lodge and Fonda Vela were actually our first choices, but they were both booked, so we ended up at El Sapo Dorado. I think El Sapo Dorado is far more rustic, and likely far quieter than the other two; we thought it was a bit basic for the pricetag, but it certainly was private, clean, and relaxing.
Good luck!
Good luck!

We stayed at Hotel Belmar and LOVED IT! Very quiet, very rustic, and very friendly. The rooms were beautiful for a wonderful price. Also like the Trapp Family Lodge that Momlyn mentioned everything is made out of wood. Even the bathroom! The balconys were peaceful to sit on in the rocking chairs and there was a good veiw of the gulf of Nicoya from the rooms.
Good Luck choosing! Ive heard good things about the other hotels as well.

Just got back from CR and I stayed at the Fonda Vela. It was my favorite hotel during my CR vacation. Huge rooms and WONDERFUL STAFF!!!
Great views also. I avoided eating there as it was pricy and I prefer the casados at local restaurants.
