Rooms with a view

We had really pleasant stay. The grounds the hotel is set in amazing. All the rooms seem to have great views across the valley, with nature being so close. Only criticism is the acoustics, the rooms echoed. I love to go back again.

A great location near downtown while staying in the middle of nature. The property is full of wildlife and all of the staff is super helpful. Breakfast is delicious and definitely recommend the banana bread! Austin the bartender is great, we visited him for a few happy hours. While you’re there check out the spa and excellent way to recover from zip lining! The property was larger than expected so we were thankful for the shuttle to get us around. One flag is that there was no AC in the hotel rooms but at night it cooled off.

Beautiful property and awesome views. Lots of wildlife on the resort- coati, hummingbirds, crested guan, among others. Offered private reserve and night tours on property. Convenient to national park. Restaurant had good food. Large rooms, modern and comfortable

Do not stay at the El establo hotel in Monteverde. It’s a beautiful location but Bad service and no maintenance. I am not sure why they charge so much when they don’t have the basic services for any hotel. It was an awful experience. Especially with the kids. Our room had no Tv, wifi. Washroom didn’t have proper waterflow for showers or toilet. The hotel has no elevator and the staff don’t help with the suitcases. The rooms get really hot during the day coz there is no AC. The pools are not maintained. There was no pool towels. The list goes on and on.. never again!

Room odor and broken toilet

Very disappointed. Our room had a strange odor and turned out the toilet wasn’t working. Requested it fixed, next day still wasn’t working. Finally requested we change rooms for second night which is a pain and mostly annoyed that zero credit has been given for first night. Response at front desk felt very dismissive and unapologetic. I never leave a bad review anywhere so wouldn’t post if I weren’t truly disappointed with lack of willingness to rectify.

This property is set on a mountain and gives a very nice nature feel. Check in was very nice. Lunch, including vege options was very good. Breakfast was also very good. On the hand room had very dim lights, very limited furniture. One lamp was not working and required two calls to get it replaced. Only one soap - for hand was or shower. No body wash or lotion. Only shampoo; no conditioner.For breakfast you have to drive down for over a mile depending on your room location.

The view from our room was gorgeous. The staff so friendly. Breakfast was conveniently early and good. We had our own car and the property will shuttle you up and down so know that waking between property hot spots (the pool, bar, restaurants) may not be walkable for some.

Good stay outside of town.

Hotel was comfortable. Grounds were very pretty and room was convenient with three beds for a family of four with two teenagers. Nothing nearby to walk to so need a car. Pool was ok but smaller than we expected. Nice view.

Disliked: Amenities
This was one of the most uncomfortable hotel stays I’ve ever experienced. There’s no AC, no heater, and absolutely no bathroom ventilation. The building’s design makes everything worse — the hallway acts like an echo chamber, and the bathroom window literally faces the hallway, so you can hear every single person walking by. Even with the bathroom door closed, the wind howled through and rattled the door all night. Both windows — one in the bathroom and one in the bedroom — are placed very high up, and although they’re small, there’s no practical way to close them. And even if you could, the lack of ventilation would make the room stuffy and uncomfortable. The bedroom window also lets in constant noise from outside — animals, wind, and more — making sleep nearly impossible. To top it off, the bed creaks loudly with even the slightest movement. Every time I got up to use the restroom at night, the noise woke up my sister who was sleeping next to me. Also, skip the breakfast — it’s extremely overpriced at $25 per person and absolutely not worth it. You’re better off eating elsewhere. Overall, it felt more like camping than a restful hotel experience. I didn’t get a decent night’s sleep due to all the disturbances. If you’re looking for peace, quiet, and comfort, I strongly recommend avoiding this place.

The grounds were beautiful and well kept. Unreal views. The rooms are very clean but some rooms have beds on an open mezzanine and it was quite hot up there as no AC. The buildings are quite far apart and the area is quite steep so it is hard to walk to and from.

Not so happy!

The roof of our room started leaking at night and the water was dripping on our bed which woke us up in the middle of the night.
