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🥰

The maneger made us feel at home from we came till we left. We stayed for 4 nights ( 1 extra) He was very helpfull and friendly. The rooms were sporless, clean towels every day, extra towel for swimming-pool and most important, they emptied the bin every day. If you are looking for a hotel where you are not just another guest, but truly seen and appreciated – then Alborada Boutique Stay is the place to be. Thank you so much for a memorable stay.

This hotel is brand new and located right across the street from a beautiful beach and nearby restaurants. The staff were beyond helpful, and really went out of their way to make me feel at home. The pool is beautiful and the room was comfortable and had very cold AC. Seems like a far better deal than some other properties in the area that are much more run down and more costly. I would ABSOLUTELY stay here again.

Loved the VIEW from and deck of our room! Was beyond anything I expected!! And Jans our concierge was exceptional, making our activities/excursions so easy - no research, no personal booking, no figuring out which is the best one, no scheduling rides - Jans took care of all of it and it was a dream that pushed our experience over the top. And the wildlife that came to our deck from the treetop canopy - every day we got our own personal close up tour: spider monkeys, capuchins, toucans, macaws, sloths, iguanas - all of it: amazing!

Beautiful beach good for swimming and snorkeling..Nice restaurant there and picnic tables. Great for birding and wildlife at the resort.

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.

Great location Gorgeous house throughout. Sergio was the best host. He made all the reservations for what we wanted to do and even rearranged a few things when it was cold and rainy. The breakfast each morning was amazing. We were able to cook our tuna in their kitchen and use it to make lunch and snacks. Sergio was attentive and made sure we had a great time. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here if you get to go to Monteverde Cloud Forest. We did hanging bridges, zip lining, sloths, butterflies, snakes and frogs. We did a great coffee tour.

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.

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.

There were people from all parts of the world in one little town. It is worth exploring the surrounding areas, because the actual town of Montezuma is rather small. There are different dining and lodging options for all tastes and budgets. The town/beach is at the bottom of a very steep hill, and getting up and down could be a challenge for walkers.

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.
