Our stay at this hotel was fantastic! Although there was a power outage in the city for about 2 hours during our stay, the staff handled the situation incredibly well, reassuring us that it was a common occurrence. The team was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The rooms were well-equipped, including a small kitchenette, and very spacious. The pool was a perfect way to cool down, and there’s parking conveniently located right in front of the hotel. The beach is just a 10-minute drive away, making it an ideal location for a relaxing stay. The breakfast was excellent, and we also had the option to purchase dinner, which was a great addition. Highly recommended!

I stayed at Hotel Con Corazón after a last-minute change from a bad Airbnb, and it completely transformed my trip. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, even late at night, and helped me feel immediately safe and supported. The hotel is modern, stylish, minimalist, spotless, and has beautiful views. Breakfast was excellent, and the whole place feels newly designed and very comfortable. What makes this stay truly special is the hotel’s mission: profits support children’s education in the local community. It’s meaningful, responsible tourism at its best. A fantastic stay — highly recommended.

Way To Heaven is truly a gem! We arrived late in the evening, and the owner kindly greeted us upon arrival and gave us a full tour of the property. To our surprise, he had prepared coffee, tea, fruit, snacks, and drinks to welcome us—such a thoughtful gesture that immediately made us feel at home. When we woke up the next morning, we were absolutely blown away by the view. Nestled in the heart of the cloud forest, the setting is nothing short of magical. The place itself is spotless, with an incredibly comfortable bed and soft bedding. Extra blankets were also available, which was a nice touch for the cooler nights. It’s super close to Monteverde town and all the major attractions and activities in the area. Don’t overthink it—just book! You won’t regret it.

Loved the VIEW from and deck of our room! Was beyond anything I expected!! And Jans our concierge was exceptional, making our activities/excursions so easy - no research, no personal booking, no figuring out which is the best one, no scheduling rides - Jans took care of all of it and it was a dream that pushed our experience over the top. And the wildlife that came to our deck from the treetop canopy - every day we got our own personal close up tour: spider monkeys, capuchins, toucans, macaws, sloths, iguanas - all of it: amazing!

The property is very large and there is something for everyone. Lots of different restaurants. Interesting idea of apartments decorated in old airplanes. Very good swimming pools. Beach within walking distance. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Once again, an expensive tour.

Once again, an expensive tour. Didn't see many animals, or if we did, they were blobs in the trees. Lovely beach, but we only had half an hour there. The park has well-run facilities, and the rules are respectful of the animals. Great guide. Would I say it is a "must" and you are missing out if you don't go? No.

A trip to Monteverde is one of the big ticks on the list for visitors to Costa Rica. Getting there is quite hard going on dreadful roads. Not ideal for anyone with any back or joint problems. It is a wet area so expect downpours and to feel damp at all times even when it is dry outside. The main reason to visit is to see the cloud forests and for zip lining, otherwise there isn’t much else to do in the area. Other attractions such as Ranali frog pond, the butterfly garden are poor and not worth the time or money. I stayed for 3 days and it was too long. My favourite thing overall was seeing the hummingbirds at Monteverde cloud forest - not in the forest itself, but in a cafe area just before the entrance to the cloud forest!

I go there to do dental work at Crystal Dental, as their prices are 2-3 times cheaper than in the USA and the quality is better, they speak English and have German equipment. I do not care about touristy stuff, I did it on my first visit many years ago. You can take buses for daytrips. Tours with agencies are very expensive and geared for young athletic people. I wish there was a sightseeing tour for the whole day on a bus to take pictures without any hiking or horse-riding.

This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

Puerto Jiménez served as a rest-over before going to, and when coming from a trip to Corcovado Nat'l Park. We were able to take and ride bikes from the hotel to restaurants and to look around (the walkway to the pier was torn up so we had to go the long way around and the bikes came in super handy). The staff was friendly and could answer all our questions.

There were people from all parts of the world in one little town. It is worth exploring the surrounding areas, because the actual town of Montezuma is rather small. There are different dining and lodging options for all tastes and budgets. The town/beach is at the bottom of a very steep hill, and getting up and down could be a challenge for walkers.
