Cabinas Capulin & Farm

What we liked most is the forest nearby with quite nice hiking trails. After already a very nice day in the Santa Elena cloud forest we went for a hike here, and saw lots of birds and monkeys. What a nice surprise! And what a great location to see the sunset. The room was good enough, but it’s basically just three beds in a square room. Not so charming. Functional though, and a large bathroom and good water pressure and hot water for a good shower. Our room didn’t have any other facilities, no fridge and little storage so basically our suitcases were open on the floor. Breakfast is not included but they have a very nice restaurant on the property with a beautiful flower garden nearby. Breakfast was good, but not cheap, count US$15 per person. There is no air conditioning but in Monte Verde you don’t need that, it’s not hot there any time of the year.

A little more storage space, cupboards or planks would have been nice for if you stay longer that just a night.

Secluded and quiet. Access to trails. Natalie was professional and very helpful. Facilities were clean and comfortable.

A bit of a steep hike into town(and back) but doable. The relatively short distance to town made our accommodation quiet with no light pollution. A big plus.

Affordable and plenty of hikes on the property to take advantage of. The restaurant on site was also lovely. It seems like a more popular place for backpackers to stay at.

Location and easy access to hikes. There was a walking tour they did on site as well as a farm tour that would have been fun to do.

The room had an amazing view. The guy on reception was friendly

The cabin we stayed in was clean but basic. We had to ask the reception for a cup of hot water as there was no kettle in our room. We booked our room via booking.com approximately 2 months before our visit. It took a while to get confirmation of our booking, despite me emailing the property. In the end I had to telephone 3x before I eventually got through and had verbal and email confirmation of my room. 8 days before we were due to arrive I got an email to say there had been a mistake and the room was only available for 1 night of our 2 night stay. Cabinas capulinas did arrange alternative accommodation for us for the second night in a very nice AirBnb at their expense, so that was good. It was however annoying to have to move somewhere when we had wanted to stay at Cabinas Capulin. The guide book said that for a small fee residents at the cabins could have a tour of the farm on which the cabins were located. The fee was 25USDollars per person! We are a family of 4 and as a resident at the property I feel that $100 was far too much to pay. We did not do the tour.
