The brothers who run the place are very friendly and helpful; we had a family unit with a lot of space and beds, plus a balcony; breakfast is basic (eggs, toast, slice of watermelon); coffee was below par, too weak; good location, between the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve and the little town of Santa Elena

I personally would not recommend this place. I’ll say communication it’s 0 to none, as a tourist looking for a place to rest late at night this is not for you, hotel does not explain or express with accuracy late check in its till 9pm, which owner says it’s at 8:30 the latest, it’s not what (Expedia said) get there after that and you’re out of luck, you will have to scramble yourself to find a place to spend the night... call the numbers and nothing... couple of locals pass by and said to us that this people are usually late at night getting waste at the local bars and they sure feel sorry for the town because of this type of people. Yes, I went there the next day to have an explanation of why this happens and there no reasoning with management things started to escalate and things could of go badly so I took the owners advice and left the premises... oh BTW Expedia advices that this place have a 24 hrs help, which obviously does not! Overall it’s up to you if you stay there and I hope this place be a better host to you and yours, happy travels... Monte Verde it’s beautiful... do yourself a favor and look for something else to spend your time in!

Staff very friendly and helpful great location as long as you are willing to walk a bit - right next to a bakery so it always smelled delicious - great vegan options at restaurants within a mile. Family room was HUGE and had a vary private but small balcony over looking the forest - bathroom was the only space that was cramped for four ladies but everything else was very open - coyldnt have asked for more.

Friendly owners - 3 brothers - eager to help us. Our balcony looked out on the forest where we could watch monkeys in the trees! Short walk to sunset views of distant Pacific Ocean. Between the villages of Santa Elena and Monteverde with restaurants, cafe's and market nearby.

La gente extremadamente amable. En general OK salvo un par de cosas - no está preparado para días fríos - no hay secador de pelo - almohadas de mala calidad - no hay cortinas

Excelente lugar en buena ubicación, el encargado es muy amable y brinda información muy valiosa. Excelente servicio.

They close after 8pm no one is in the reception if you don't arrive before 8pm you won't be able to stay there.

Das Hotel hat eine gute Lage für Ausflüge. Gratis Shuttelbus zu den Atventureparks. Sehr nette hilfsbereite Junge Leute die das Hotel führen. Wir bekammen viele gute Tipps und wurden super beraten. Wir haben dort zwei angenehme Nächte mit einem guten Frühstück verbracht.

The Manakin had a solid metal gate that they rolled across the parking area in the early evening. They had forgotten to tell us that we could roll it back, as it was not locked. The other problem with the gate was that when the wind hit it the noise was horrendous and kept us awake. In the room the washroom area was separated from the rest of the room. By sliding doors, that were very noisy when moved.

I enjoyed my stay at Forest Dreams Manakin. The staff were always very helpful and accommodating and the location was good for walking to different things to do. I enjoyed the fact that there was forest around.....birds and monkeys to be enjoyed from the balcony of the room which was awesome. The price was right, the breakfast in the morning was good and I would have extended my stay here but they were booked. If I am ever in the area again I would definitely stay here....good value for the price.

Great value for money, very friendly owner/reception. Monkeys even visited at breakfast on our balcony. Bed could be a little more comfy.

Smelly rooms, windows don't open, no fan, smokers smoking outside our room that made our room stink, old bedding, difficult to park your car. They charge $20 more for our daughter they said it was because of breakfast but their small limited portions weren't enough and she had no juice only tea or coffee

フリーWi-Fi完備ですが、客室からも共有スペースからも全くつながりませんでした。 テレビも映りが悪く、電波はとても不安定です。

Pros: friendly and helpful staff, delicious breakfast, cool setting with jungle sounds at night, hummingbirds outside the window in the morning, funky murals on the wall Cons: beds are a bit stiff, some mold in bathroom, cold lighting, not a luxury hotel by any means. All in all, I liked this hotel because it had character. Perfect for a brief stay in beautiful Monteverde.

This hotel, although a little rustic is a lovely place to stay. I really enjoyed my time there due to the friendly staff, location and monkeys that visited.

If you are a backpacker it is ok. Not adequate for other couples or families. No hot water at all. No a/c or heat. Towels were threadbare. No toiletries Breakfast was great , wifi ok and the staff were very nice. More like a hostel than hotel but the price was right

Jonathan checked us in, he was wonderful. Gave us a recommendation for a night tour, which was fantastic! Hotel room was large, bed comfy, view was incredible! Hummingbirds fly all around. Wind at night sounds haunting but cool. Good parking, close enough to walk to stores and restaurants, but far enough away from noise. I loved this place, wish we had spent more time here. The food in Monteverde is soo good!!

This is a cabin not hotel accommodation. The tv is better than other in the neighbourhood. The bed is a bunk bed. Great for students or for a short stay. There's really not a lot of choices for accommodation but if you are looking for a hotel this is not the one. It's a bit pricy for what they offer

We enjoy the Monte Verde visit and the time on the Forest Dreams Manakin Hotel.

Muy buena atención, excelente disposición de la recepcionista para guiarnos por la zona.
