Fabulous property on a great location. Incredible price to performance, with new spacious rooms and excellent facilities. The owners are so friendly and helpful, can also arrange a variety of tours and surf lessons if needed. A special plus is the all day availability of coffee machine, some fruits and biscuits/snacks.

Really nice host, she was very kind with us and explained everything very clearly. She even gave us good advice for places to have lunch/dinner which was a super cool restaurant. The room was clean and very comfortable, it even has a fridge which was useful for us. The breakfast was ready early like we expected and it was very good ! Thanks a lot, we had a nice stay. I recommend Greemount hotel !

A real perl in the middle of the jungle on the Pacific ocean coast. The hotel and the restaurant are member of the Chaine des Rotisseurs. Owner and the general manager are drom France. They know haw real luxuary works and the crew are ready to fulfill this! Tucans, white face monkies, scarlet macaws are in the price 😁

Once again, an expensive tour.

Once again, an expensive tour. Didn't see many animals, or if we did, they were blobs in the trees. Lovely beach, but we only had half an hour there. The park has well-run facilities, and the rules are respectful of the animals. Great guide. Would I say it is a "must" and you are missing out if you don't go? No.

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.

Quepos itself is a little rough, but Manuel Antonio is a gem. Be wary of all the hustlers on the beach. Would have liked to go fishing but the prices for charters were steep. Great eateries. I forgot the name but the seafood restaurant before the bridge into town was excellent.

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.
