Mountain hotel with cloud forest views in Monteverde

Amenities & Recreation

The hotel offers heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools with poolside bar service. A tennis court, games room, and children's playground are available on-site for guests of all ages. Organized night walks explore the rainforest along 5 km of walking roads within the neighboring Monteverde Cloud Forest.

Rooms & Views

Guest rooms come with private balconies that overlook the Monteverde Cloud Forest or the Pacific Ocean. Each room has a flat-screen TV, a laptop safe box, and a private bathroom with a bathtub and separate shower. The hotel's 155 rooms are spread across nine buildings on a steep mountainside, requiring shuttle service for transportation between buildings and amenities.

Location & Activities

The hotel is located in Monteverde, Costa Rica, minutes from the Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve and Selvatura Adventure Park. Guests can book hiking tours, horse riding, and zip-lining activities directly through the hotel's 24-hour concierge service. A guided night walk on the property costs $35 USD and lasts 90 minutes, providing views of nocturnal wildlife.

Dining

Guests can eat at Las Riendas Restaurant, which serves à la carte Costa Rican cuisine, or at Laggus, a gourmet restaurant overlooking the hotel's lake and gardens. The breakfast buffet costs $25 USD per person and includes omelets, pancakes, fresh fruit, and local dishes. A poolside bar offers snacks and drinks during daytime hours.

Wellness & Spa

The Green Leaf Spa provides treatments such as wraps, facials, manicures, exfoliations, and massages using local ingredients. A hot tub and salt-water bath are available at the spa for relaxation. The hotel also has a fitness center with cardio machines and weights, as well as yoga classes for guests.

“El Establo's setting affords it stunning views, and the location near the Cloud Forest speaks to its eco-friendly focus. However, the steep terrain presents logistical challenges requiring reliance on shuttles. While the rooms could use some updating, the proximity to nature's beauty remains a compelling draw.”
