At Cloud Forest Lodge, guests praise the tranquil, nature-immersed setting with on-site trails and ziplining, standout staff, and an excellent restaurant with views, while noting spacious, simple rooms and a remote, bumpy access road with limited in-room amenities.
Many rooms are quiet and comfortable but often lack TVs or coffee makers, some have no views, and a few guests mentioned dampness or a spartan feel. Food receives strong reviews for quality and breakfast, including vegetarian options, with occasional notes about dinner pricing, limited kids’ choices, or fireplace smoke. Expect a peaceful, nature-forward stay with limited in-room frills.

The staff was amazing!! Could not do enough for you. The room was very nice and clean, the views from the property were beautiful. We did not know there was a little town not far til the day we left, that was disappointing. The road to the lodge was unpaved and unlit, it was good the dining room and menu had good variety cuz after dark we weren’t driving anywhere. I wish they had had a hot tub and spa, would have been a nice option.

A paradise in the heart of the rainforest with the highest standards of service by every member of the staff. Having the best zipping service across the front desk, and the property trails are a natural wonder.

Bird lovers will adore the dining room seating with hummingbirds, toucans, orioles, motmots and more easily viewable all hours of the day. Rooms are spacious and hot water in showers is fantastic! Thought we would have view from porch but alas no… it’s a lovely outdoor space but we didn’t use it much. Wood fireplace in lobby / dining area is wonderful way to warm up and dry out after hiking the were cloud forests. Observation deck provides stunning views of the sunset and lake with awesome cloud formations. We rented four wheel drive and it was reassuring to have it driving up the steep dirt road to reception. Staff is friendly and helpful locating guides for cloud forest tours and more. Pre-ordering breakfast was a nice touch to make sure we had food ready at 630a to make our 7a tour start time.

My Daughter and I did a girls getaway. The hotel was fantastic. The huge fire with chairs surrounding it was a perfect place to sit and read a book. Although it rained every day, the hotel offered boots and umbrellas to use. The setting is so serene and the employees are very friendly and helpful. They even offer turn down service…we felt like queens. I would definitely recommend this hotel for your stay in Monte Verdi.

Amazing place to stay. I was in Costa Rica for a month and stayed several places, this one by far was the cleanest of them all. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms spacious and stunning. Wildlife all around, the views and the food are also wonderful. I would love to come back and was sad I only got to stay 2 nights here. would recommend to anyone. 5 stars all around.

Rooms were simple but spacious and very clean and comfortable beds and linens. Cute little patio. Included breakfast was gourmet and excellent. The dinner options were a little expensive and not many options for the kids but was gourmet and great for foodies. The restaurant itself had a fireplace which looked great but made the lodge quite smoky and our clothes and hair smelled quite strong afterwards. The trails were very nice. It’s off the beaten path so after dark around 5:30 there’s not much to do but rest or taxi to the nearest town. Very challenging roads.

Lovely two-night stay at the lodge with dinner both nights. Clean & comfortable rooms (no view) and stellar service for all meals, breakfast and dinner. We did the takeaway breakfast one morning, which wasn’t great, but they had it ready for us a half hour earlier than they usually open, so…. All in all an amazing stay. We will definitely be back!

Very friendly staff and great restaurant. Beautiful view from the restaurant and bar. The food was fantastic! There is fun wildlife all around the property, all able to be viewed while having breakfast! However, We didn't like that this was a zip lining property, on the surrounding hiking trails there were many cables strangling large beautiful trees and noisy construction due to zip line maintenance. The rooms did not have a refrigerator or air-conditioning or heating or TV. A ceiling fan would have been nice. These conditions made the bedding moist and smelly. If you are planning on doing a night tour, I would recommend doing it at a different facility. A pleasant stay overall.

Lovely 2 night stay at the Cloud Forest Lodge. Very comfortable room and huge shower room. Missed having coffee making facilities in the room, but that’s a pretty minor issue really. Loved having cocktails on the restaurant balcony while watching the sun set and all of our meals in the restaurant were absolutely excellent. Customer service was spot on. We arranged 2 activities through reception: - A night walk, which unfortunately was a complete waste of money - Canopy zip lines, which was excellent and completely safe - although somewhat scary as it was extremely windy.

Hotel is unique as it is tucked away from the center of town. Best option is a taxi considering the parking challenges in Monteverde. If you're on a tight budget, stay closer to a hotel closer to town. Boena rooms are VERY clean but do not have amenities like t.v. and coffee maker. They are serious about eco friendly with solar and have space heaters and heater was enough in Dec. No views from the rooms. With all this said, they have an awesome restaurant and a great view. They serve traditional Costs Rican dishes and I am a Foodie so be prepared for a wonderful experience. We didn't make it past the 3 appetizers. If you are served by waiter Randall, you are in for a treat as he will explain the local cuisine. There are several trails and a Zipline course that starts right on the property. We tried a different zipline but Boena's ZL is supposed to be started by the original founders. Stay here if you want a unique, off the grid experience physically (they do have a very fast Internet).

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The infrastructure of the rooms was, unfortunately, quite old and in need of renovation, which initially left a poor impression. However, once inside, I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious and modern the rooms were. They offered a comfortable retreat despite the exterior concerns. On a brighter note, the hotel restaurant was a standout feature. It had a modern design and provided fantastic views, making each meal an enjoyable experience. The food was delicious and truly elevates the overall stay. In conclusion, while the room infrastructure needs improvement, the spacious and modern interiors, along with the excellent restaurant, made our visit enjoyable. I would recommend this hotel for its dining experience and room comfort, but I hope to see upgrades to the overall structure in the future.

The property is very commercial. Rooms are like big halls, not hospitable at all. The bathroom is huge, appears that a large room was painted white and converted to a bathroom. There is no sense of warmth in these rooms that are completely uninviting, cold and dreary. Looks like a dorm. First hotel in Costa Rica with no coffee maker, kettle or frig in the room. Very basic furniture in a large room with no sense of architecture or planning. Minimal art on the wall. No amenities apart from basic soap, shampoo etc, hair dryer stopped working and sink clogged right away. The roads leading up to the property are basically non existent. They are like muddy trails with huge potholes. We actually saw a car stuck in a pothole in the rainy weather. Perhaps work on the roads when you are going to charge so much for the room? Hotel also tacked on a conservation charge per person, for protecting indigenous people. If the hotel wants to donate to these causes, how about you donate out of your profits, or make it part of the hotel charges up front? We were in Senda day prior and this was a complete let down. Will not be coming back.

We had two rooms, both rooms and bathrooms were large but very bare. There was no tv, minibar, couch, heating and air conditioning or air circulation. Rooms were cold and uninviting. The balcony sliding door would not lock and the phone was not working. The fire pit shown in the picture was covered up and not working. Restaurant staff was however very friendly and good, food was OK. It was way over priced. Would not stay there again.

We were on a trip to Costa Rica with our pregnant daughter & son-in-law. We wanted to see the cloud forest area, so I booked 2 nights at the Cloud Forest Lodge. It is an AMAZING place! The roads to get there are challenging, but worth it. The Lodge is located right where the clouds/fog from the rain forest just begin to dissapate. From the deck of the lodge, you can see the Pacific ocean - it's a beautiful view! It's a lot cooler up there, so having long pants and a jacket are a must. The wind comes howling down off the mountain, but it's a really special place. They have a fire pit out on the deck as well as inside the restaurant area. And the food and drinks were INCREDIBLE - they have an amazing chef. It was the best food we had on our trip! The service was also incredible - Joshua, Randal & Gabriel were SO friendly and gave us the best service of the trip. Joshua is the mixologist as well and his drinks were amazing. While there, we saw the cloud forest and went zip lining right from the hotel! We also took a night life walking tour and the Don Juan Coffee/Chocolate/Sugar Tour. Overall, the Lodge was a magical experience. However, have a 4-wheel-drive car. The road going to Tamarindo from there was one of the worst. Make sure you take the more major road, don't try to save time on a rocky, steep, unpaved road if you're heading to a beach on the Pacific afterward!

Make sure you take the more major road, don't try to save time on a rocky, steep, unpaved road if you're heading to a beach on the Pacific afterward!

The staff was amazing!! Could not do enough for you. The room was very nice and clean, the views from the property were beautiful. We did not know there was a little town not far til the day we left, that was disappointing. The road to the lodge was unpaved and unlit, it was good the dining room and menu had good variety cuz after dark we weren’t driving anywhere. I wish they had had a hot tub and spa, would have been a nice option.

A beautiful mountain setting surrounded by nature and hordes of hummingbirds. We saw a trop of 15-20 Coati on the ride in one evening and dozens of hummingbirds at breakfast every morning. The staff is gracious and friendly and always willing ti held with a reservation for a local excursion to the Coffee/Chocolate Plantations or the Adventure parks in the area. our visit was truly outstanding!

Location up in the rain forest was beautiful. Really felt far removed from town, even though it really wasn’t that far. Staff is amazing; attentive and friendly. The view from the main lodge was so peaceful. Rooms are large albeit a little spartan but I do appreciate their eco practices. The food at the restaurant was the best we had while in Costa Rica.

Lovely two-night stay at the lodge with dinner both nights. Clean & comfortable rooms (no view) and stellar service for all meals, breakfast and dinner. We did the takeaway breakfast one morning, which wasn’t great, but they had it ready for us a half hour earlier than they usually open, so…. All in all an amazing stay. We will definitely be back!

Location
Set in the cloud forest away from town, the lodge feels quiet and immersive with wildlife on-site. Access involves an unpaved, bumpy road; driving after dark is discouraged, though town is a short taxi or drive.

We were on a trip to Costa Rica with our pregnant daughter & son-in-law. We wanted to see the cloud forest area, so I booked 2 nights at the Cloud Forest Lodge. It is an AMAZING place! The roads to get there are challenging, but worth it. The Lodge is located right where the clouds/fog from the rain forest just begin to dissapate. From the deck of the lodge, you can see the Pacific ocean - it's a beautiful view! It's a lot cooler up there, so having long pants and a jacket are a must. The wind comes howling down off the mountain, but it's a really special place. They have a fire pit out on the deck as well as inside the restaurant area. And the food and drinks were INCREDIBLE - they have an amazing chef. It was the best food we had on our trip! The service was also incredible - Joshua, Randal & Gabriel were SO friendly and gave us the best service of the trip. Joshua is the mixologist as well and his drinks were amazing. While there, we saw the cloud forest and went zip lining right from the hotel! We also took a night life walking tour and the Don Juan Coffee/Chocolate/Sugar Tour. Overall, the Lodge was a magical experience. However, have a 4-wheel-drive car. The road going to Tamarindo from there was one of the worst.

Hotel is unique as it is tucked away from the center of town. Best option is a taxi considering the parking challenges in Monteverde. If you're on a tight budget, stay closer to a hotel closer to town. Boena rooms are VERY clean but do not have amenities like t.v. and coffee maker. They are serious about eco friendly with solar and have space heaters and heater was enough in Dec. No views from the rooms. With all this said, they have an awesome restaurant and a great view. They serve traditional Costs Rican dishes and I am a Foodie so be prepared for a wonderful experience. We didn't make it past the 3 appetizers. If you are served by waiter Randall, you are in for a treat as he will explain the local cuisine. There are several trails and a Zipline course that starts right on the property. We tried a different zipline but Boena's ZL is supposed to be started by the original founders. Stay here if you want a unique, off the grid experience physically (they do have a very fast Internet).

Rooms were simple but spacious and very clean and comfortable beds and linens. Cute little patio. Included breakfast was gourmet and excellent. The dinner options were a little expensive and not many options for the kids but was gourmet and great for foodies. The restaurant itself had a fireplace which looked great but made the lodge quite smoky and our clothes and hair smelled quite strong afterwards. The trails were very nice. It’s off the beaten path so after dark around 5:30 there’s not much to do but rest or taxi to the nearest town. Very challenging roads.

We visited Cloud Forest Lodge early March and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location of the hotel is just slightly off the beaten path, giving you the true rainforest feel. The property has trails to explore, animals can be spotted throughout the grounds. We were surprised to see no tv, but that was just lack of research on our part. Staff were always friendly and helpful with any inquiries we had. Would definitely consider staying there again on our next visit to Monteverde.

I absolutely loved the dining experience here! The food was quality was excellent. I will say they do need have ventilation in their units as the condensation makes everything totally wet. Also, the drive up is unpaved and very bumpy. Get an all wheel drive rental. I do still recommend this place and I would stay here again.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The infrastructure of the rooms was, unfortunately, quite old and in need of renovation, which initially left a poor impression. However, once inside, I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious and modern the rooms were. They offered a comfortable retreat despite the exterior concerns. On a brighter note, the hotel restaurant was a standout feature. It had a modern design and provided fantastic views, making each meal an enjoyable experience. The food was delicious and truly elevates the overall stay. In conclusion, while the room infrastructure needs improvement, the spacious and modern interiors, along with the excellent restaurant, made our visit enjoyable. I would recommend this hotel for its dining experience and room comfort, but I hope to see upgrades to the overall structure in the future.

This was our favorite stay during our two week road trip to Costa Rica. The resort is a quick drive into town while still being removed enough to feel immersive and peaceful. We saw so many birds without even leaving the property and enjoyed watching the hummingbirds and friends by the breakfast porch area. The food and drinks we had at the resort’s restaurant were fantastic and even as vegetarians we had a nice variety of options to choose from. The room was spacious and clean, and we also enjoyed walking the trails around the resort. This would be our top place to stay again if/when we return!
