Great value for the price. We were highly satisfied by our 4 persons cabin, it had great view, a small balcony and good privacy.
The breakfast was fantastic with 4 options cooked to order. Parking was not an issue.
Would definetly go back to Don Taco if I retirn to the area.

The hotel was much better than I expected. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included each morning. It was raining one night and we didn't want to walk down town so we went to the restaurant. The food was really good and the bar was also great and accommodating. The entire experience exceeded my expectations.

Great property in a central location. Breakfast was great and the receptionist was lovely and friendly and showed us a great map of the area.
The rooms are basic, no shampoo so make sure you bring some. Pillows are paper thin and the bed wasn’t the comfiest. No air con so it got quite hot on our family room for 5. We enjoyed our stay but glad it was only for 1 night. Comfort wise. The hotel is very close to the town and walking to it is easy although no real pavements. Walking back is not so easy as it’s all uphill so no good for anyone with walking difficulties or wheelchair users.

Hotel offers 4 different breakfast options. Their breakfast options and plate sizes were the best on our Costa Rica trip. I had the 2 eggs, rice, beans, toast option breakfast and it was good. Good coffee too. Their onsite restaurant serves good pizza but we ate in downtown Monteverde and it was a good pizza place in the lane next to Orchid restaurant. Very close and walking distance to downtown. They arranged for our taxi rides on both days to the cloud forests. Monteverde is very windy so that kept us up at night.

Great relationship quality-price. Don Taco is very well located, near the downtown but in a quieter area. The room was not big but the bathroom was comfortable. The breakfast was well served and the staff very kind.

Comfortable room, there is a good restaurant directly in the hotel, it's also possible to book tour right at reception.
WiFi was a bit unstable though.

great hotel, even better hostesses
The rooms were small but quite sufficient, cost was very reasonable, and the beds were comfortable. There was a good hot prepared breakfast with choice of 3-4 options and fresh juice. The receptionists Wanda and Zadieka were absolutely fabulous and incredibly helpful - do not let these young ladies leave your establishment, they are so hospitable, intelligent, knowledgable of the area and out-of-this-world helpful!!!

Monteverde is a must!
Great property and location! Breakfast was one of the best we had while in Costa Rica.
No A/C, so we would have appreciated a ceiling fan!
