Hotel Belmar, a Member of Design Hotels

Very very beautiful boutique hotel on the outskirts of Monteverde, on the side of a cloud forest hill. Pretty rooms, fantastic restaurant, views all the way to the Pacific Ocean, super friendly staff, local micro brewery, own private cloud forest reserve. Plus yoga classes and coffee tasting included in the price. Plus great breakfast. Tour of their cloud forest reserve called Savia is a must. The tree top experience is something you will remember for the rest of your life.

It’s not cheap and prices are before local taxes and service charges.

The ground was very green with nice plants and flowers that attracted birds, butterflies and fun creatures.

Nothing.

Restaurant views, location and breakfast. Bed was comfortable. Brewpub by the lake is also beautiful

Not very clean, especially common areas. No proper insulation in Room windows and it was too noisy at night with strong winds outside.

Authentic design, beautiful location in Monteverde, and a very strong connection with nature and the surrounding environment.

No air conditioning!!! Meaning that during the day the rooms get very hot. There is also no proper thermal insulation and almost no sound insulation, so you can hear your neighbors very clearly — you can actually make out conversations from the next room. The wooden structure itself carries a lot of noise, and when it’s windy the whole hotel moves, creaks, and makes sounds all night. Sleeping was very difficult because of the constant noise from the wind, the building itself, and outside sounds. At times it honestly felt like being inside a ghost house.
