Ce qu'en disent des voyageurs

À l'hôtel Fondavela, les voyageurs apprécient le personnel accueillant, les chambres spacieuses et les terrains propres, verdoyants et dotés d'une piscine chauffée, tout en notant l'emplacement isolé, difficile d'accès et le peu de possibilités de restauration à proximité, ce qui rend une voiture ou une bonne planification utiles.

Le petit-déjeuner et le restaurant sur place reçoivent fréquemment des compliments, bien que certains clients aient trouvé les repas chers ou le buffet limité ou décevant. Les chambres sont généralement grandes et confortables, mais certains signalent du bruit du vent ou de la pluie, des insectes occasionnels, l'absence de climatisation et des fermetures temporaires d'installations. Dans l'ensemble, attendez-vous à un séjour paisible, axé sur la nature, avec une vue sur la forêt nuageuse et une piscine de style resort lorsqu'elle est opérationnelle.

We liked this hotel. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. We happen to be there during a very windy days and we could hear the wind in the room. It was SUPER windy and we could definitely hear it all. Also, they were doing work on the pool which was close to our room...and every morning at 6am when the workers came in there was A LOT of noise: them yelling, banging, etc... So, it impacted our stay for sure. We didn't sleep to well. Plus, we didn't have access to the pool because they were working on it.

I imagine that at one time this was a nice property and maybe it will be one day, but not now. We booked this hotel because it was listed with a pool. The pool was under construction. When I approached the subject with the staff, they rudely told me that they had informed the websites and it was there fault it was not taken down. Then in the dining room we met others who had chosen the hotel for the pool as well - they had booked through another site, making clear this was not Expedia's fault, but there own. They refuse to take responsibility for it. Had we known they did not have a pool, we could have stayed some where cheaper and closer to town. As this hotel is outside of town, through a very torn up/pot filled hotel. Besides the lack of pool and lack of helpful response from this hotel, the newly renovated showers flood the bathroom so there is no way to have a dry bathroom. If you like to wear socks in your room, find some where else. If you travel with clothes that you hang up - find somewhere else. There is no closet, and their solution was to put hangers on a towel rack, so your choice is either to hang your towels or clothing... but wait the hangers dont actually fit on the towel rack, so plan on your clothes ending up on the floor. Lastly, if you have any sensitivity to light, I do not recommend that you stay here. Our room had a wall of glass blocks with no way of shading, so we woke up every morning at 530am to sun streaming in. I would not stay here again.

Beautiful hotel minutes from Monteverde biological preserve. The hot tubs were out of service the day we were there which was a disappointment because it was cold and rainy. But we passed our time at the bar instead and David behind the bar was great!

The property is nice, kept neat and clean. We were there in the off season so it was very quiet. Remember there is no ac in this area of Costa Rica. They do not offer cots in the rooms so if you are traveling as a family this could be an issue. Otherwise the breakfast was wonderful, the jacuzi was covered so you can use even in the rain.

Breakfast was great and the service staff were friendly and accommodating.

Tv didn’t work and they told us a random excuse (tv’s working at the bar but not in the rooms?) - seems like many rooms didn’t have a tv that worked. Rooms were amazing - lots of space and clean. Towels provided for the pool. Again, staff at restaurant were A1.

I wish I could give Fonda Vela 6 out of 5. The road from Santa Elana was fun, take your time you'll get there. The property was spectacular. Properly placed to enjoy every sunset. About a 25 minutes walk up to Monte Verde Park. Our room was recently renovated and was beautiful. The local coffee in the room was delicious. Beds, shower, views were all perfect. The restaurant on site makes you not want to look any further. Dinner was fantastic. Try the coffee ice cream. Breakfast is included and will prep you for your day of exploration. Freddy (I think his name was) was a gracious host at the restaurant. He even included us in the feeding of Matéo the hotel monkey. The desk can help you book local tours etc. They set us up for ziplining. The property is truely in the clouds. Early mornings and after sunset the mist comes in and makes this property truely magical. If my wife and I ever head back to Monte Verde we will definitely stay here again.

Emplacement

Situé au cœur de la nature, à proximité des réserves de forêt nuageuse, avec une faune sur le terrain. Il est en dehors de la ville sur un chemin accidenté, le choix de restaurants à proximité est donc limité et il est plus facile de se déplacer en voiture ou avec un transport organisé.

If you want nature & tranqulity, this is a GREAT option. You see monkeys, various birds, and lizards around the property grounds. Only a 20 minute walk to Cari Canca bird reservation. Only complaint is they play loud music by the pool area which disrupts the peaceful environment. Lodging is large with high quality bathroom. Staff is kind & profession.
