• Yes! We prepare a freshly delicious beakfast every morning from 7:00h to 9:00h onsite. There are options close by for breakfast, or grocery stores, within a short walk.
No pets are allowed.
• High speed WiFi is free and very stable at the property. Also, as a heads up, since we are high up on the mountain and surrounded by jungle, nature can sometimes take a toll on us and cause damage to our phone lines or internet connection.
• Shuttles are available at a surcharge, since we are about 3 to 4 hours away from the international airports. Pricing will vary depending on the number of people, dates and whether you may take a shared shuttle or a private one. If you want more information, don’t hesitate to send us an email with these details and we can arrange it for you.
• The AC is not necessary because year-round temperatures are quite comfortable. Day average is 18 - 25 C° (64 – 77 F° ) and at night 15 – 20 C° (59 – 68 F°) Elevation is about 1400 m.a.s.l (4590 feet). Every room also has natural ventilation that you can take advantage of.
• A vehicle with an AWD system (or 4x4) is not indispensable, as it used to be. We do recommend, for comfort, a vehicle with high clearance as our gravel roads are very uneven and a sedan might be damaged if not driven slowly.
• We recommend activities to be booked upon arrival to avoid cancellation fees, bad weather or other shortcomings. We do suggest some reading to be done before hand so that you have a general idea of what there is to be done in the area.
• Most attractions in Monteverde offer free round trip transportation from our hotel. In cases where companies don’t offer this service, we can arrange for a taxi, which are available all day long. There are also buses that go up to the reserves and you will also find some attractions within a short walk.

• The reception building is open from 07:00h to 21:00h. The owners live in the building next door.
• Monteverde is quite high up on the mountain, is not very humid and, throughout most of the year, is pretty windy; these conditions allow for mosquitoes to not be a hustle at all.If you are really prone to getting ravaged by mosquitoes though, we do recommend to have some bug spray handy.Regarding other insects, our housekeeping staff has a very strict cleaning procedure to make sure as many stay away from our rooms as possible.
