Fondavela Hotel

Beautiful property, saw so much wildlife. The pool and hot tub were great and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful grounds with flowers Lovely warm pool Peace and nature and views Close to the Cloud Forest (you can walk) Breakfast delicious and large Staff really nice Rooms had lovely wooden floors and balconies and robes and luxury bedding We loved our stay

We liked it all

Great location, beautiful sunset Very nice spa and good beds. Very nice staff. Very quiet.

Restaurant is old fashion and the food is so so.

The warm pool, the VERY helpful staff, the comfort, the restaurant and breakfast.

Nothing (didn’t understand the comments on Booking, for us it was wonderful stay)

Everything!! Very clean spacious room with modern bathroom and an amazing view on the garden, nice heated pool - the kids had a lot of fun, immersed in the forest with animals all around, doesn’t feel crowded at all, close to Sant’Elena and the Monteverde Cloud Forest. The hotel has also a decent restaurant. Overall the staff is absolutely fantastic and has helped us organising our tours. Highly recommended

Absolutely nothing. It’s a great hotel.

The room was large and comfortable and the bathroom was really nice with a rain shower and beautiful concrete looking tile. Wonderful view of the lawn and trees where we saw agouti, tucans, and other birds. The pool was nicer than the picture on booking.com. It’s large and they really warmed it up during the cool evenings so we could still get in.

Junior suite was beautiful with a lovely forest view, very private especially in the room at the end of the row. Beautiful pool with a pool bar. Nice to have a walking trail on the property, though we also went on tours. Good restaurant. Driving distance into town, it looked like some people were walking the 4 km, but our kids were too young to manage that.

The main negative was, for how hot it gets there, I was surprised there wasn't AC or even a ceiling fan installed. We got a table fan when we asked for one, though that didn't help as much as we would have liked. The person at reception who helped us book the tour to El Tigre Waterfall didn't tell us that the ride back only comes at specific times - if we'd known, we would have driven there ourselves. Nonetheless an excellent experience.

Friendly staff, lovely location . Beautiful grounds and very clean room . Fabulously warm pool.

Breakfast a bit basic but was ok

All of it! Beautiful place with the most friendly staff.

There wasn't a dislike.

Spacious and set in lovely grounds. Pool was great

Not enough hooks in the room for towels or gowns. Room was very large but lacking in soul. Pretensions to be a boutique hotel but not making the grade. Breakfast was the worst we experienced in CR
