Arco Iris Lodge

Really loved staying at Arco Iris for our family visit to Monteverde. Very comfortable, great location, excellent breakfast and overall value!

Arco Iris Lodge exceeded my expectations. The property itself is beautiful and tranquil. I had my own cabin with a private balcony. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, offering plenty of tips and providing answers to any questions. Somehow it manages to quiet and peaceful while also being so close to restaurants/bars/stores, etc. If I ever come back to Monteverde I will be staying here again.

The only thing I didn't like was that I couldn't stay longer (due to my own schedule, not because of the hotel).

We stayed the honeymoon cabin as it was our anniversary. It was a cute cabin and clean. However, bed was not very soft or comfortable and we had no internet the first night , they did fix it on the second day. they do not provide any toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, shower gel/bar soap. For $300 a night this is very irregular. They gave us a bottle of champagne but I couldn’t shower until the next day because we had to go to town to buy toiletries to use. The shower was either scalding hot or freezing cold— nearly impossible to keep in a comfortable temperature. I told the manager all of this and her only response was “sorry”. The noise from the street is loud and we struggled sleeping because of it. The breakfast was good. There was no phone or numbers in the room to contact th desk and without internet we couldn’t make calls. What would happen if there was emergency?

Adorable hotel, with cabins that feel like they are in the woods, not in the middle of town. Easy access to the hiking and activities in Monteverde, close walk into town. Staff are friendly, breakfast is great.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Room was great. Close to town.

Staff very friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. Room available early. Centre of Santa Marta. Great location.

The location of the hotel is great. It’s close to stores and restaurants.

We stayed in room 15 which didn’t have a good view, there was no fan available on a warm day. It is a 2-2.5 star lodge based on our room experience. Vegetarian breakfast options are very limited and not much care is taken to avoid contamination. This was brought up to the reception staff but nothing was done to address the issue. We ended up not eating much at the restaurant.

Staff coordinated excellent tours. Breakfast was exceptional. Allowed us to have breakfast half hour early to accommodate a tour

No closet and not enough shelves for clothes etc
