Guest Reviews
- Jay (10/5): - I liked everything about the property. Staff was very nice and accommodating.
- Ed (10/5): - Staff and service were great.
- Roxana (6/5): - The property is beautiful in a very quiet and peaceful area. Not much in terms of facilities, they only had a jacuzzi. Beautiful rooms but the floors were much to loud, even when walking barefoot. No AC but it was cool enough to need it. No TV in room so if If you’re not looking for seclusion and connection with your travel partner, this property is not for you. I was traveling with my parents and reserved for 3, they were not crazy about it.
- Melissa (10/5): - This property reminded us of a treehouse. Beautiful property with microbrewery (closed the day we stayed) and pond. Staff was friendly and polite and offered welcome drink.
- Brittany C (10/5): - One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff was INCREDIBLE. The views were stunning. The hotel sources most of the food they serve from a local, 100% sustainable and carbon neutral farm, and the food was Excellent. Truly a magical stay.
- Klaudia (10/5): - Driving up the mountain to get to the hotel is not for the faint of heart, but it was worth it. The scenery is magical. The hotel is authentic and quirky in a good way. Do not recommend for those with mobility issues.
- Kierstyn (10/5): - Such a unique, serene experience. The entire staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. The hotel had so many activities within itself it felt like we didn’t have enough time there!! Our favorite part was definitely the farm to table food experience. Every drink and dish was exquisite. We really appreciated this hotel’s keen attention to detail and the thoughtfulness in everything they do!!
- Maria (10/5): - Staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was beautiful.
- Gordon (10/5): - Amazing hotel with excellent staff. The activities were memorable. This was an outstanding place that made our Costa Rica trip extra special.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Every little detail was absolutely perfect ❤️ the staff was warm, welcoming and kind. The hotel was breathtakingly beautiful. Everything was very clean. The room was much more than I expected. The photos don’t even do it justice. The food was so good, we were disappointed that we couldn’t try everything on the menu. We only stayed 3 nights and that just wasn’t enough to take it all of the perfection that is Hotel Belmar.
- Yocelyn (10/5): - This hotel was absolutely gorgeous. The staff was equally impressive. We took two tours offered by the hotel, Ficus climbing experience and the Farm experience. Both were highlights of our 10 days in Costa Rica. Highly recommend.
- Dianna (10/5): - Beautiful
- Elizabeth (10/5): - This place is an absolute dream. The people are so kind, the views are beautiful, and the food is excellent.
- Araceli (10/5): - Staff were very attentive
- Christi (10/5): - This was a gorgeous stay! The canopy room is beautiful. Walking distance from town. The cheesecake in the juice bar was the best we ever had. Stunning views and excellent service.
- Jerry (10/5): - A beautiful property with very friendly staff and a wonderful on-site restaurant! They provided a complimentary upgrade as we were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. There were white-faced monkeys playing on our deck which we enjoyed. We highly recommend staying here for part of your Monteverde experience!
- Natalie (10/5): - Hotel Belmar was magnificent! Everything about it was pristine. The service was so friendly. Staff were so genuinely kind, helpful, & welcoming. They upgraded our room & the view from the balcony was gorgeous. I really cant say enough great things about this place. We ate at the restaurants & everything was delicious. Location was perfect to the cloud forest reserve.
- Tyler (10/5): - Hotel Belmar is now my favorite hotel I’ve stayed at. The restaurant is amazing. The vibe there is so relaxing. The couples massage we got there the first day set the tone. If I ever go back to monteverde, Thais is where I’ll stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We had the best time for our honeymoon at Hotel Belmar! They treated us whenever they could. The staff were so friendly and helpful at every turn and every member of staff seemed to know everyone's name. We took advantage of the onsite experiences by having a couple's massage, doing the night walk, swimming in the lake, using the whirlpool, free beer tasting and excellent food from the restaurant.
- Jessica (10/5): - This hotel is beyond beautiful and luxurious. The staff are also very nice and helped us book zip lining. We loved the food at the restaurant and taste tasting the beers. Will definitely be back.
- HEIDI (10/5): Best hotel in Monteverde - Don’t hesitate to stay at Hotel Belmar with your family. First time to Costa Rica and we wanted a hotel with a beautiful atmosphere- close to the cloud forests, clean and good food and drink. This is it- the hotel was even more beautiful on the inside than I expected. I love the small details like an actual tree to hold the sinks in the guest bathroom area. Our room was one of the basic ones on the first floor in the main lodge and it did not disappoint. The most helpful part was that the entire staff was so kind and going the extra mile. It made everything else very easy. We really enjoyed the yoga classes as well. Even kids are welcome at yoga! We booked a Guide through hotel belmar and saw monkeys and other animals in the nearby cloud forest and also did the El Tigre waterfall hike as recommended by the staff. It did not disappoint love riding horses up the steep hills. We slept soundly every night and could not have asked for a better start to our trip. Don’t forget to ask the hotel to arrange pick up at San Jose or Liberia airport for you. It was reasonable at about $200 And much better than driving those windy Mountain roads at night.
- Marjolein (6/5): - Nice location in Monteverde and staff were very friendly. Convenient for Selvatura and night tour options. The room didn’t have air conditioning and was very warm during the afternoon/evening. We had a room at the top of the hotel and it was rather noisy during the 2 nights we stayed as the weather was rather stormy. We found there was limited food options in the immediate area.
- isabel (6/5): - I recently stayed at this hotel with my family, and while we had a pleasant time overall, there were a few aspects that left us wanting more. First, the hotel itself is quite nice and has a welcoming atmosphere. However, the rooms did not have blackout curtains, which meant we were woken up by the sunrise at 5:50 AM every day during our five-night stay. This made it challenging to get enough rest, and I would recommend that the hotel consider adding blackout options to improve guests' comfort. Another area for improvement was the dining experience. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre and rather overpriced. We found that the prices were on par with those of a five-star hotel, yet the quality did not meet our expectations. We were hoping for better culinary options during our stay. On a positive note, we really enjoyed the tailored tours offered by the hotel. They provided a great way to explore the area and created lasting memories for our family. Additionally, I must mention the exceptional service we received from their massage therapist, Katy Molina. She was truly outstanding and provided one of the best massages I’ve ever experienced. In summary, while the hotel has its strengths, it would benefit from addressing the issues with room darkness and dining quality. Thank you for a memorable stay! ---
- Dagmar (10/5): - wonderfully quiet lodge in the cloud forest. i only wish they had more comfortable seating for lounging around. the balcony chairs are awful
- Connie (10/5): - Beautiful space with friendly, professional staff. Our room was quiet and comfortable with a stunning view. The staff always welcomed us with a cheerful greeting and were helpful in explaining gluten free options while dining. We felt safe walking down the road to some of the shops and enjoyed coffee at the shop down the hill. We highly recommend.
- Maxwell (8/5): Review - Top quality for an eco friendly hotel
- jingfei (10/5): - The airport shutter is very convenient and runs around the clock. Making it an excellent stopping point around the airport.
- JANET (10/5): - Clean-wonderful staff
- L (10/5): Great place to stay - Lovely hotel in a great setting with very comfortable rooms . My only criticism would be the lack of interest at breakfast from the staff who were more interested in chatting or being on their phones than paying attention to customers which was a real shame as the food was lovely
- Terri L (6/5): Nice hotel, noisy room - Room 15 was noisy. ( Forest Room) . It’s often windy in Monteverde . Our room door to balcony had a small gap so the wind whistles all night . The furniture on the balcony hangs from chains . As the wind blew occasionally there would be a large bang as the furniture swung too ferociously. Don’t buy breakfast at $30pp. There is a La carte where each dish is between $12 and$ 16 . A dish of fruit and coffees are complementary so unless you go big you will find it hard to get to $30. The views are great but not unique in Monteverde
- John (10/5): Just awesome - Was one of the nicest places that I’ve ever stayed. Staff were amazing, room was clean, the hotel smelled amazing.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - AMAZING HOTEL. Such beautiful views, especially during sunset. Very nice and helpful staff. Great food. You can tell that they really care about making it a great experience for the guests. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others. We had such an amazing time here.
- Patricia (10/5): - This hotel was very pretty. The views from the restaurant are once in a lifetime incredible. You can see the Nicola peninsula -a must see. It feels like a European hotel. Quiet luxury. Very romantic and pretty. The grounds were lovely. Everything was top tier. Soaps and products smell delicious.
- Harvey (10/5): - The staff was extremely kind and helpful and the rooms were magnificent. Very comfortable bed and great views. The brewery on the property was fun to hang out at with great grilled cheese sandwiches.
- Gregory M (10/5): - Very nice hotel!
- Evelyn (10/5): - Loved that the hotel is all about sustainability. Excellent on site restaurant and eco-fiendly accmmodations.
- Gina (10/5): - A quaint, boutique hotel with amazing food, grounds, staff, and overall accommodations. Would definitely like to come back!
- Katherine (10/5): Wonderful for couples - Amazing! Service was excellent in all interactions. Diego handled our check in with ease and delivered our bags to our room. He provided a hot towel and refreshing hibiscus ice tea, which were welcome after a day of traveling. Food and drinks at the microbrewery and in the restaurant were excellent. Presentation was always 5 stars. Our room was spacious and private as described, with a large wrap around balcony. The balcony soaking tub was spectacular and, as this area is covered, we were able to enjoy even when it rained. Room service and housekeeping were excellent. We booked a couples hot stone massage and left that fully relaxed. Thank you to Gloria and Maggi. We were within easy driving distance to town and local attractions. Parking was secure. We would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again if visiting Monteverde.
- Trina (10/5): Go there! - Spot on service planning multiple activities and any changes that were made such as adding another individual and scheduling times to fit our trip itinerary were handled accurately every time. Refreshing to say the least! Extremely warm and friendly staff. Stay in #3, top floor with a fantastic view!
- Marina (8/5): - This is nice boutique hotel, nice people serving but quite remote and compare to other places we stayed in Costa Rica, breakfast was not included
- Robert (10/5): - class from checkin to checkout
- Jon (8/5): - Very nice facility in a great location.
- Sophie (10/5): - Great place, food & staff!
- Val (10/5): - Hotel and service exceptional
- Jody (8/5): - The property is very nice and the room was also very good. The restaurant was very good but had a limited menu. Many vegetarian options. It would have been nice to have changing options or nightly specials. There is no signage to the rough road that leads to the property, this would be helpful for those of you who want to drive in Costa Rica.
- Quincy (10/5): - Beautiful grounds, very kind and knowledgeable staff. Gorgeous views. Great birding!
- Josefina (10/5): - The place is beautiful. You are surrounded by nature and its relaxing. There is no a/c but it can get cold at night by the breeze. Careful not to leave windows open without a screen cos there are a lot of insects. Some of the staff are warm and helpful, others didn’t even care to greet. The only complaint I have is their food. Tried their breakfast and dinner, but the food was not so great. There are other options outside the hotel tho. But overall the place is great if you want a quiet place. I cannot rate it as a 5 star hotel tho.
- Brandon (10/5): - Beautiful eco hotel with tons of eco activities and amazing staff. Will be back
- Nicole (10/5): - Amazing hotel. Rooms are beautiful. Grounds are gorgeous. Food at the brewery and main restaurant was delicious. We traveled with 2 young kids (ages 3 and 1) and staff was welcoming and helpful. Overall, fantastic stay!
- Hadas (10/5): - Exceptional service from all the staff and owner! Personalized attitude with extra care. Great experience!!!
- Lidia (10/5): - Amazing overall!
- Anjali (10/5): - This hotel was a near perfect luxury hotel. It was beautifully appointed, melted into the ecosystem, had lovely facilities and grounds, and was understated in its luxury. The only area of improvement would be the food. I recommend that the chefs try less to be innovative and more to be consistent in flavor profile and time to table. For example, we sent back several dishes because like the Al pastor hibiscus tacos and the cold eggs with yogurt and oil (Turkish eggs?).
- Stef (10/5): - Amazing place to stay!
- Menesha (10/5): - Horse riding experience should not be missed, lovely hotel, nice staff -Axel especially helpful at breakfast. Very comfortable double bedroom,
- shantel (10/5): - This was a beautiful home away from home. It’s a little outside of town so you definitely need a car to stay there. They have a cute Brewery on site where they actually brew their own beer as well as as a nice reflection pond. Jacuzzi was not working, which was disappointing. The restaurant was really nice. The food was beautifully presented but a bit expensive for what it was. Overall, the grounds and staff were wonderful.
- Tina (10/5): - Everything about Hotel Belmar was exceptional. Every person encountered was delightful and eager to help. The food was amazing and the beds were extremely comfortable. Highly recommend.
- Coryn (10/5): 5 star luxury - This is luxury, from the lavender scented hand towel and ginger lemonade upon arrival to the included yoga class. What a beautiful place and 5 star service. When we were there the hot tub was being renovated so that was unfortunate and we had a room below the restaurant which was quite loud during dinner service. I would avoid those rooms if you have children who need to sleep early.
- Carlos (10/5): - It was awesome. Best food and views in Santa Helena
- Patricia (10/5): Honeymoon day 4 - The mini hike with waterfall was lovely. Breakfast and dinner overlooking the gardens was absolutely delightful. We also had a jacuzzi in our room that was amazing.

- VERONICA (10/5): Wonderful hotel - We had a wonderful stay at this fantastic hotel right in the heart of Monteverde. Our room was modern and comfortable with amazing rainforest views. The on-site amenities are top-notch - beer garden (with great food and homemade beer), jacuzzi, yoga classes, juice bar - and everything at the hotel is done sustainably. The hotel's own farm (Finca Madre Terra) provides most of the restaurant's ingredients, including the cheeses, and every dish we tried was amazing. As a non-drinker, I was also very pleased by the delicious mocktails. We also booked a Horseback Riding experience at Finca Madre Terra through the hotel and it was a highlight of our Costa Rica trip. We had a fantastic stay. (PS - don't skip the walking path, we saw so many white faced capuchins!)
- Nate (10/5): Beautiful Space - We stayed 2 nights in room 14. I believe it is advertised as a canopy room. It was amazing, within 10 minutes, we had white face monkeys visit our deck and roof. The view felt like a tree fort and was extremely private. At night we caught an armadillo foraging below our deck. Also, the view to the full moon, was inspiring. The bed was comfortable and the shower was amazing, with 2 rain shower heads. There were also multiple options to laze about both in the room and on our deck. We also took full advantage of the outdoor bathtub, I did hit my head several times on the canopy bed, however I am 6'5". Staff was wonderful! Grounds were well kept, we loved the pond area and surrounding gardens. Everything was very clean. Food was hit and miss, some dishes were amazing such as the risotto & pejibaye agnolotti. Drinks were delicious. They do put fresh flowers & herbs on everything served, although it makes a beautiful presentation, it also opens the opportunity for uninvited guests (bugs). We did try some cookies and smoothies from the juice bar, not a fan. Their tap room & bar was really good in all areas; drinks, beers, food and service. We did not take advantage of a free yoga session but we should have. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The complimentary mini bar was an unexpected and really nice touch. I would definitely revisit here and not hesitate to recommend Belmar to future guests.
- Ivan (10/5): - Going to The Cloud Forest was a very short distance and an unforgettable experience
- Praveen (10/5): - Excellent place
- Takeo (10/5): - Beautiful property, very good food, good casual dining at the mini brewery, great lodge offered tours at Savia reserve, and last but not the least, very nice touch on service such as initial content of fridge being free and charged just for refills.
- zhangchi (10/5): - 云雾森林最好的酒店！位于山顶视野非常开阔，很适合看日落。并且有自己的私人保护区和self guided trail，酒店的相关活动都很值得参加（多数都仅限6人）可以体验到非常私密的雨淋探险！
- Sonia (10/5): Paradise - This is the most wonderful place ever. Concern for the environment is over the top, so refreshing and necessary, I wish every place was like this in the world at this point. The rooms were perfect, luxurious and the food and beverages were amazing. Yoga was nice and the brewery/hot tub and coffee shop with homemade kombucha were fabulous. The farm to table food is unreal. Strongly suggest anyone stay here, we didn't want to leave!
- Stephanie (10/5): Wonderful stay - The staff were warm and welcoming the moment we arrived. The hotel is lovely and clearly well cared for. The room was clean and spacious.
- Dan (8/5): - Beautiful view and gardens
- Karine (10/5): - This hotel has quiet and beautiful grounds. My room had an incredible view. The staff support the arts. I loved their Women’s Day celebration concert.
- Claudia (10/5): 5-Star Experience - We had a great stay at HB. It’s a beautiful location and the staff is excellent and totally accommodating. The restaurants and Brewery are fantastic. This was an absolutely 5-star experience, but I am going to mention something that could interest older travelers. I’m 65-years old and the HB has a lot of stairs and no elevator. While this didn’t detract from our visit it was something we had to deal with. You should know this if you have difficulties with stairs. Monteverde is in the mountains and I suspect most hotels there have the same issue.
- Eric (8/5): - We stayed in room 12 (The Belmar Room) for two additional nights in Monteverde to add to our CR vacation. The hotel is quaint and clean with a big house feel. The room had an extremely comfortable bed, it was a nice size with a phenomenal view. The room amenities were a nice touch. It was quiet and perfect with a large flowered bush beneath our balcony with daily visiting hummingbirds. Natalia, the concierge, was great with assisting with our desired activities before we arrived and while we were there. Her local expertise was extremely helpful in facilitating our enjoyment. Celajes, the onsite restaurant, was just okay and well overpriced. We enjoyed the local Sodas much better. I would recommend Hotel Belmar and would love to visit again in the future.
- Neil (10/5): - Beautiful, great food, relaxing, excellent service at the front desk. Cesar was an enormous help! Muchas gracias! Pura Vida!
- Marcia (10/5): - This was a beautiful hotel and property! So peaceful there. The private path that lead to this small river was beautiful! Saw and heard so many birds! Staff was great!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Beautiful setting but not peaceful as our room was located on the ground floor so very noisy.
- Ramnath (10/5): - Good location & awesome staff
- Carole (10/5): - We had a great family time with children and grandchildren. The room are spacious and well kept. We all enjoyed the pools.
- Kathleen (10/5): - Such a nice hotel in Monteverde! Walkable to town, but hilly on the return trip. We stayed in the Chalet (forest view) - it was quite windy at night but overall such a nice experience. One free yoga class and complimentary beverages in the mini bar! We ate at the restaurant onsite and the brewery, both were great. We also took the concierge's recommendation for the ficus tour at savia - so fun!
- Richard (10/5): Unbelievable Views - We didn’t really know what to expect after booking and were amazed at what we found. The view from our room (#31 and our friends’ rooms next door) were simply amazing. The hotel is high up on a hill with views all the way to the ocean. Simply gorgeous!
- Diane (10/5): - This is a unique property. Its buildings and decor look part ski chalet, part summer camp, which is part of the charm. oh, the views from our deck sitting on top of the cloud forest were divine. The staff are behind friendly and helpful. Without a car we were somewhat captive there for our two days, but the meals were very, very good. We took a fun tour through the dry forest adjacent to the property and did some tree “climbing” which was great fun. We arranged rides from the airport and to our next area from the Belmar, and they were affordable and professional. Would highly highly recommend!
- Manuel (10/5): - Hands down to the staff !
- Jacqueline (8/5): Beautiful hotel, slow restaurant service - Hotel Belmar is beautiful and the views are stunning. There is no swimming pool but the guests have access to a hot tub located in the gardens where you can watch hummingbirds on the surrounding bushes. Our room (Superior Peninsula) was stunning with top quality linens, robes etc and a shower with a window into the bedroom so you could see straight across the balcony to the Nicoya Peninsula. The first round of mini bar was included in the price of the room which was a nice touch. Service on Reception was great and excursions organised very efficiently. We did the early morning guided bird watching tour which was fantastic. We visited several reserves including the hotels own private reserve where we were served breakfast on a platform half ways up a tree in the cloud forest canopy. However, the hotel disappointed when it came to the restaurants. We arrived mid afternoon hungry and were directed to the snacks menu in the micro-brewery - There were only a handful of other customers, but it took 35 minutes to deliver our drinks and 50 minutes after ordering to get our food (despite chasing) and when it arrived we were presented with food so dry it was almost inedible. We ate in the Celajes restaurant on one evening, sadly we felt although the food was perfectly fine, it did not live up to the reviews we had read. In addition, although the restaurant staff were charming, the service was again incredibly slow. On the positive Happy Hour at sunset worthwhile for views.
- Robert (10/5): 12/10 absolutely recommend! - Amazing hotel. One of the best I’ve ever stayed at. From quick responses leading up to the stay, to going out of their way to help me plan activities/meals, to the incredible service while we were there, to remembering my kids’ food allergies the whole time . . . If you’re going to Monteverde and Hotel Belmar is available, grab it. Their activities were equally amazing. We did Nightfall and Santa Elena cloud forest with Daniel, and horseback riding with Memo. Absolute highlights of our Costa Rica trip. My family’s still talking about it. Will absolutely come back to do it all again.
- Brian (10/5): - Hotel Belmar in Monteverde offers a five-star retreat in the heart of Costa Rica's natural paradise. While lacking air conditioning, the mountain breeze provides a refreshing ambiance, aligning with the hotel's commitment to sustainability. The standout restaurant delights with creative flavors and attentive service. Set amidst the stunning landscapes of Monteverde, this eco-friendly gem is a perfect escape for nature lovers seeking a luxurious yet authentic experience.
- Paroma (10/5): - We got the room that had both sunrise and sunset views, and it was absolutely breathtaking. The short hike on the property was also pretty cool, and the front desk helped us with reservations for the Curi Cancha night walk. I only wish that the breakfast would have been included in the price, and also that they had more traditional breakfast options on the menu. Apart from that, our stay was wonderful, and we wouldn't hesitate to book the same room again.
- Eugene (10/5): - Very nice staff. Amazing room with views. Would definitely come back 😊
- Melissa (10/5): - This is a beautiful property but getting to it takes nerves of steel. Driving in Costa Rica is a challenge and going to Monte Verde is no picnic! Get a driver and GO see it! The town is picturesque and great food, go to Amigos Bar, oldest in Monte Verde, it will take you back in time to a more simplistic way of life. Pura Vida!
- SWATI (10/5): Mountainview hotel with craft brewery on property - This was our first trip to Monteverde and it won't be our last. Hotel room was clean and bed was comfortable. Loved the view from our balcony. All the employees are warm and welcoming. When we mentioned we were celebrating our 30th anniversary upon check-in, they had a beautiful note and a bottle of champagne waiting for us in our room. What a wonderful surprise!! I would highly recommend signing up for the Savia Nightfall tour. Our tour guide, Daniel, was amazing! He is very knowledgable and passionate about his work. The onsite craft brewery is an added bonus feature. Be sure to catch the beer tasting event! Isaac was very knowledgeable and welcoming. We also enjoyed the food at the brewery. We will definitely stay here again.
- Michael (6/5): - Lovely property,; the room lack curtains. In addition at a little past 11 am, I was called by the front desk asking why I was still in the room and the person from the front desk rudely hung up on me. The rules clearly stated checkout was noon. In addition, the check-in process is a bit "over the top."
- Danielle (10/5): - Loved the balcony. Food at the restaurant in the property was FANTASTIC!
- Patrick (10/5): - This was the most beautiful and luxurious hotel we have ever stayed in. The rooms are incredible with outdoor bed swing and hot tub on balcony. Amazing views. Farm to table dining. Incredibly attentive staff. Highly recommend
- elizabeth . (2/5): - Bugs were everywhere
- Verified traveler (10/5): A must stay - AMAZING!
- Alison (4/5): - Very noisy- not just wind as you might expect, but we could hear neighbouring guests talking, flushing the toilet, opening and closing doors. Everytime someone walked up the stairs we could hear steps as if they were in our room. Our room (room 5- cloud forest suite) overlooked the driveway so we could also hear people arriving leaving in their cars. We did not sleep at all the first night due to this and the very uncomfortable bed. Ended up changing rooms. They initially only offered a downgrade room but when I saw availability online for a superior room (peninsula suite) they agreed to move us there. Unfortunately this was only an upgrade in name as the room was so dirty- pubic hair in bed and jacuzzi had hair and insects clogging drain. It is also much more affected by wind, so very noisy at night and quite scary in storms. Restaurant food is very overpriced (over $20 for vegetarian pesto pasta that was way too salty). The brewery was great, so if you have to eat in the hotel, go there. Don't have breakfast at the hotel , lots of better places to choose in Monteverde. Staff were all robotic, though pleasant enough. Would not return to this hotel.
- Mehnaz (8/5): - This is a nice property overlooking the cloud forest, there will be bugs and etc. property is clean and service as great. There is also a jacuzzi and beer garden and restaurant/bar. There was no tv in my room and the walls were thin - you can hear everything.
- Maksym (10/5): - A lot of coffee in the room = good))
- Mario (10/5): Wonderful - One word! OUTSTANDING!
- Dan (10/5): - Hotel Belmar was great. My girlfriend enjoyed the massage services and the food at the restaurant there was great. Parking was easy and all the staff were excellent.
- Lucy (6/5): - Really strange to have a shower on a separate room about 30 feet from the bathroom made it so inconvenient to get ready. We went with another couple who also reserved the same priced room but yet their shower, toilet and sink were are in the same room AS IT SHOULD BE. The staff are nice; food was really good in their hotel restaurant but the bathroom accommodations were definitely weird. Also, ours had no headboard, just the wall. Theirs had a headboard. Note to self: make sure they don’t give you room 10.
- Judith (10/5): - We loved the Belmar, staff, food everything was excellent! We did the farm to table lunch which was wonderful, love how they make good use of all their waste & provide a good amount of produce for the hotel/ restaurant in their own farm/gardens! Their own brewery is also worth a visit. Enjoy the wildlife close by, walk the hotel hiking path. We also did the bird watching tree top breakfast, also a great experience!
