I can't say enough about my incredible experience in the capable hands of Leslie (the owner) at his beautiful B&B tucked right into the rainforest. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the main feature for me being the large windows.
You really do feel like you're right inside the jungle. You will see a lot of nature just from your balcony. During my time there I saw coatimundis, agoutis, capuchin monkeys, toucans, and motmots. The sounds at night are incredible. Leslie has his own nature scope at the property and was always happy to give guests a closer look.
Leslie's wife prepared a wonderful breakfast every morning. You have two options: 1) gallo pinto - the local specialty of eggs, rice & beans, and fried plantain, or 2) eggs and pancakes. Both meals come with fresh fruit, orange juice, and coffee. Gallo pinto was excellent fuel for the hiking days.
You will likely want to be making many excursions to the parks and coffee farms, as I did. Don’t stress about planning this stuff in advance. I simply told Leslie what I was interested in, and he would hop on the phone and book a spot and transportation. You will literally have no worries about your time in Monteverde staying here.
The owner and his family were extremely friendly, and that really made the experience staying here as a solo traveler. My first evening, they were celebrating a family event outside and his son offered me a beer. I felt very welcome. Do yourself a favor and stay here!
