The best place to stay in Monteverde… central location, comfortable and spotless room, delicious breakfast, amazing team that takes care of you beyond possible and most of all, it is a place with a soul … managed by dedicated couple, Joan and Ronald who embrace the kindness and travel spirit together with the mission to help the less privileged kids to broaden their educational and life options… it is place where you can rest after an exciting and adventurous day in the beautiful nature of the Monteverde knowing that by staying here you help the local community to be a better place for their kids. What a wonderful idea. Joan and Ronald, thank you for all your effort and dedication, you are doing an excellent job❤️ Special thanks to the kitchen for the one of a kind pancakes for our daughter🥰

We stayed at Alborada Boutique Stay in Uvita for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely perfect. The property is truly unique; about seven private rooms, each designed like its own modern “igloo,” offering total privacy and a cozy, romantic feel. The pool in the center ties everything together beautifully, surrounded by lush greenery and peaceful vibes. Miguel, the manager, was incredibly welcoming and made sure every detail was perfect for our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — stylish, tranquil, and unforgettable. Highly recommended for couples looking for something special!

Beautiful hotel with ocean view and a special attention to details. The room was small, but charming. We really enjoyed the common area and the terrace with the ocean view. The perfect place for a morning yoga class. My husband also worked very well from that area. The pool was also amazing especially in the evening, after a long drive. 😊 By far, the best ever Mango Marguerita and huevos rancheros.

We are traveling Costa Rica for two months and this is by far the best place we ever visited. It is a unique little paradise with really outstanding staff. We enhanced our stay despite we could not cancel our next hotel and to pay the cancellation fee. we paid it with a smile because we could stay longer in Los Vivos. Great Beach for our Kid, for snorkeling. We could use the hotels‘ Kayaks, stand-up paddle boards and everything was included. the food in the restaurant was wonderful and so were the cocktails. this was really perfect! thank you so much!

The apartment was spotlessly clean, the staff was very kind and attentive, the location is good - not in the center of the city, so you don't hear the noise in night, but close enough to beach, so you can walk. The pool is very good maintained and not very crowded. The small pool at the balcony was an extra plus.

So, 16 years ago, we had a very different experience at the park. The interactions with the wildlife was quite exciting (and so different from anything we experienced before). Now, they very tightly regulate the food situation in the park, which I 100% understand and respect. But in so doing, the wildlife really couldn't care less about interacting with the tourists. You cannot bring food in (they will go through every nook and cranny of your back packs/bags). You have to buy food and consume it in a caged area. Think about that for a sec: now the humans are in the cage consuming the food and the wildlife is outside watching us. The irony! Anyway, the abundance of wildlife was significantly diminished on our day there. We decided to spend a day at the public beach instead of going back to ManAntonio because you can rent a cabana and a lounge for cheaper than entry to the park. Plus, they have vendors there that sell you food/drinks/trinkets, etc. The beach faces the pacific and so the waves are a bit more fun. It's a nice sandy beach that wasn't that crowded last week.

A trip to Monteverde is one of the big ticks on the list for visitors to Costa Rica. Getting there is quite hard going on dreadful roads. Not ideal for anyone with any back or joint problems. It is a wet area so expect downpours and to feel damp at all times even when it is dry outside. The main reason to visit is to see the cloud forests and for zip lining, otherwise there isn’t much else to do in the area. Other attractions such as Ranali frog pond, the butterfly garden are poor and not worth the time or money. I stayed for 3 days and it was too long. My favourite thing overall was seeing the hummingbirds at Monteverde cloud forest - not in the forest itself, but in a cafe area just before the entrance to the cloud forest!

I go there to do dental work at Crystal Dental, as their prices are 2-3 times cheaper than in the USA and the quality is better, they speak English and have German equipment. I do not care about touristy stuff, I did it on my first visit many years ago. You can take buses for daytrips. Tours with agencies are very expensive and geared for young athletic people. I wish there was a sightseeing tour for the whole day on a bus to take pictures without any hiking or horse-riding.

This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

Puerto Jiménez served as a rest-over before going to, and when coming from a trip to Corcovado Nat'l Park. We were able to take and ride bikes from the hotel to restaurants and to look around (the walkway to the pier was torn up so we had to go the long way around and the bikes came in super handy). The staff was friendly and could answer all our questions.
