Monteverde Lodge by Böëna

Staff were amazing! They were 5 star resort staff. They knew our names, our story, remembered our likes and dislikes. They went above and beyond every step.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

Beautiful gardens, nice restaurant, nice pool, immersed in wildlife and view friendly staff.

Nothing, liked it all

Stunning location in the heart of Monteverde (st elena at least) walkable into the bustling little village. Great food and drink with local flavours and heated pool for chilling in the cloud forest 🌳 we enjoyed our stay here but it comes at a price and you expect excellence for this money.

A couple of less engaging service moments let the hotel down for our travelling companions but other than value for money nothing really…

The property was easy walking distance to downtown Santa Elena. The rooms were cleaned daily. The breakfast was a la carte which was very good.

I paid £422 (GBP) per night, which in my opinion is a lot of money for a basic room. The room was big but even though I’d told them in advance we were on our honeymoon they put us in a room with two queen beds instead of one king bed as I requested. There was no refrigerator in the room. The swimming pool was small and if you wanted a drink by the pool you had to go back up to the restaurant to order. Although the breakfast was good I wasn’t impressed with the rest of the food and it was very expensive. They made no acknowledgement of our honeymoon.
