Calathea was great for Monteverde, excellent location and the staff was extremely helpful. Their breakfast was great and they even accommodated for our early tours. Make sure to review your reservation before arriving as at first they gave us the key to the wrong room.

Room was clean, breakfast was good - with several choices. They helped us book a couple last minute hikes when we arrived. We were only there 2 nights with both being pretty windy. It was a bit noisy during the heavy wind gusts. The deck with view of water was nice.

This hotel was great for our stay in Monteverde. It was a bit removed from the middle of town but close enough.
Our tours were only 10-20 mins drive away.
Staff were incredibly helpful and even improvised breakfast for a day we had a very early start.

We booked 2 bedroom, kitchen. Nice place and had overall good breakfast with granola, yogurt, fresh juice and fruits. This is property is slightly inside but you can walk to near by super market for any needs. Also gas station is nearby. No dining options unless you drive to Monteverde city town which is about 2 km. The highlight was sunset. You can watch beautiful sunset from outside of your room and it was extremely beautiful.

The service, cleanliness and food quality were top notch. The staff were highly professional, helpful and thoughtful. The room I stayed in had just been built. The grounds are well kept and the flowers and wildlife are beautiful as well as the amazing view from the upstairs outdoor seating area. I loved having a kettle and coffee machine in the room with tea and coffee available as well as a refrigerator and ample space to spread out and unwind. I would highly recommend this place and hope to return someday.
