Staff is very helpful, and eager to help. Large rooms. It is located within the cloud forest, so expect small creatures visit. Nice covered pool/ jacuzzi area. Beautiful landscape. Good amenities, including a massage in a reasonable price.

Fondavela Hotel exceeded all expectations: the rooms/facilities are designed to promote comfort and tranquility, the location is ideal for accessing Monteverde cloud forest, the food was EXCELLENT, and the staff were outstanding! I hope to return again on my next visit to Costa Rica. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable!

This hotel is beautiful. We travelled with our grandson so needed a room with two beds and our room was so large we had plenty of space for luggage. The grounds are landscaped with gorgeous flowers. The staff at reception and the restaurants could not be more helpful and accommodating. They kindly rushed a laundry order for us and offered an upgrade. The breakfast menu was fabulous! It was a quiet and peaceful stay very close to the reserve. We would love to return again!

Our stay was for a week so we had plenty of time to settle in. The rooms are large and comfortable. The showers are awesome with plenty of hot water. The breakfast was exceptional. And the restaurant was always delicious! The staff at every location and position from front desk, restaurant, service, cleaning were all outstanding! I woul say that suggestion we have to improve would be to add ceiling fans in the rooms and add additional tables and chairs to the balcony overlook for the bar. Plenty of room to double the seating capacity. Every day the 3 or 4 tables filled and others were left without a place to sit for drinks and sunset viewing. That’s it, we enjoyed our stay and would say again on a return trip to Monteverde.

Room was spacious, bed was comfy, and staff was friendly.
Everything else was substandard. The weather was cold, windy, and rainy so the pool was not much use.
No heater in the room so it was very cold in the room. Very few amenities (surprising considering the high price), no courtesy water, no hot water pot, etc.
Also the room was extremely loud from wind noise, so loud we needed ear plugs to sleep.
Breakfast was very BASIC at best. So disappointed with breakfast that when lunch and dinner time came around we looked elsewhere for restaurants.
In short, not a good stay.

This hotel is outstanding and faultless. We wish that we'd stayed longer. The hotel is a 2 minute drive from cafes and restaurants, and is therefore perfectly set in its own grounds and tranquility. The staff are excellent and attentive. The food is delicious - we ate both breakfast and dinner, and both were equally delicious. We have no hesitation - we would recommend this to everybody and would return again.

I stay at 10 to 15 hotels per year, and this, is one of the best. Not only is it gorgeous and incredibly comfortable, it's in a magnificent estate, super close to the entrance to the monteverde reserve, and the views are stunning. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the room very comfortable. Top marks across the board.

Sparkling clean with great pool area.
Hard to travel to and from if you don’t have a car. Limited dining options and expensive dinner menu.
Other than the pool, not much else to do.
