Koora is a gem of a place for visiting Monteverde region. The staff couldn’t be more genuinely friendly and helpful in what is a beautiful location. Rooms are fabulous with every detail considered. Food in the restaurant is prepared with great pride and the menus were accessed via QR codes with a wide variety of choices. Diet requirements are catered for completely too, making dining a true pleasure whilst enjoying the stunning views from the veranda. Thank you to everyone who made our short stay so memorable including the wildlife that frequently pop into view. Front desk team made book ing local night walks and hanging bridges visit so easy. If visiting this area, do yourself a favour and stay here!!
