Cloud Forest Lodge

Amazing, my first thought was there is no way a hotel at the end of this road, but what a lovely surprise.

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.

Spacious rooms. Quiet! Beautiful flora and fauna! Staff is super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

The highlight of our entire Costa Rican vacation!

We stayed two nights at this hotel in August. It is a beautiful hotel with lovely staff and setting. However - beware of hidden charges. We booked a family suite for a 2 night stay through Expedia. We are a family of 3 with a 14yo but when we got to the hotel they were expecting an infant and charged us an extra $52 per night supplement ($104 in total which was an unpleasant surprise). We had not had this problem in any other hotels during our trip so this was disappointing (hence the 4 stars vs 5). Neither Expedia nor the hotel accepted there was a problem with the booking system (other hotels we booked added an extra person supplement at time of booking through Expedia). We asked Expedia for the information we provided at booking in case we had made a mistake but were told this was not possible.

We absolutely loved our stay. The hummingbirds were something else to watch at breakfast! The staff were very attentive and friendly and the food was amazing. A fabulous stay

We recently visited Monteverde and had an amazing experience. The staff are very attentive to our needs and assist in a very timely manner. They are excellent with customer service. The restaurant views are just breathtaking as you can see Toucans, a variety of different Costa Rican birds, and zipliners. (One minor recommendation is the rooms need to be updated and there is a lot of space and not very good utilization...)

Amazing views, beautiful property, friendly and helpful staff, spacious and clean rooms. Felt like a luxurious version of summer camp. Enjoyed everything about this hotel.

My family (wife and two boys, 14 and 17) loved this place. Lovely property, great restaurant, wonderful conservation mission. Just a magical vibe. I was very impressed by the level of service; we ate in the restaurant more than we'd initially planned (1 dinner, 2 lunches plus our included breakfasts) because the food was excellent, the setting was perfect (hummingbirds everywhere on the porch, a fireplace for chilly nights--not much view for our rainy season visit, but I'm sure it's amazing on sunny days!) and the service was impeccable. Felipe especially was a gracious host, as well as Mateo and all the front desk staff. Food is a bit pricy, but you'd pay $6 for a cab into town and $6 back again, so it was worth it to just stay put. The on-site trails were surprisingly fun; tip: take a pic of the map first. The trail is so long that we were convinced we were lost, so we turned around after an hour (turns out, we weren't lost). My kids liked that trail more than one of the paid trail tours we took the next day (Curi-Cancha). Rooms are spacious, bed was great. If you want nightlife and a TV, and the ability to walk into town, this isn't the place for you, but if you want to chill for a few days after adventuring elsewhere, it's perfect.

The grounds, service, room and restaurant were absolutely perfect!
