Monteverde Lodge

in Costa Rica by Philip Greenspun; created 1995

Monteverde Lodge is the nicest and one of the newest hotels in Monteverde. The restaurant serves the best food in Monteverde, although it isn't quite up to the high standard set by the Tortuga Lodge, which is owned and operated by Costa Rica Expeditions as well.

By far my favorite feature of the Monteverde Lodge was the "15-person Jacuzzi" (a sign in the room refers to the "Yacuzzi"). Chantal actually decided we should measure this and we decided that 20 people would actually fit comfortably.

Rates are about $70/night. Book through Costa Rica Expeditions.

We stayed at Hotel Fonde Vela, very close to the reserve entrance. Very nice accomodations, staff, food, and the nicest was having chamber music being played during supper by the owner (cello), and a student(?)...nothing "snooty" just relaxing and informal.

I would just like to say that my friends and I enjoyed our stay at Monteverde Lodge. EF Tours organized our stay at the lodge and we found that the hotel manager, bartenders, waiters and all employees were very nice. One night while staying at the lodge, some of the employees offered us a ride up to the local nightclub/dance club. I thought that was very nice and took the offer. I hope that everyone enjoys their stay at the lodge, I did.
