"The restaurant was excellent because they used fresh ingredients that they grew in a garden. Excellent free sit-down breakfast. All the food tasted amazing. The staff is super friendly and ready to help with anything (e.g. tours rearrangement, transport arrangements etc.) Super eco friendly too! Great location in the town. We would highly recommend this hotel. "

"This is a simple and cute property in Monteverde, not far from the town (as long as you have a car). The staff is very friendly and helped us book all of our tours. The breakfast was also excellent. Our favorite part about the property were the animals we saw. Toucanets, hummingbirds, and lots of other small birds and mammals were roaming around - what a treat!"

The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only

5/5 Excellent
"Hotel was in a great location. The staff was so warm, welcoming and friendly. We never needed a thing. I loved all the hot spring pools and jacuzzis. This is a safe , beautiful hotel. The only improvement that I could even think of would be the lighting in the room. It was very dim and very hard to apply makeup in the bathroom. Maybe a lighted mirror would help. "
