Organized night walks explore the rainforest along 5 km of walking roads within the neighboring Monteverde Cloud Forest.

The hotel's 155 rooms are spread across nine buildings on a steep mountainside, requiring shuttle service for transportation between buildings and amenities.

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.

“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.”
