"I recently stayed 3 nights at Villa Floresta Monteverde, and it was a fantastic experience. The villa is located in a very quiet area, offering complete privacy—you don’t notice the neighbors at all. The accommodation is modern, beautifully furnished, and features a lovely terrace and an amazing hot tub. The host was very friendly and communicative. However, one minor issue was that I only received the location details about 2 hours before the check-in time, which caused a bit of last-minute...

FéLIZA Rainforest Domes

FéLIZA Rainforest Domes

10/10 Excellent
"The domes were a total once-in-a-lifetime kind of stay! Ours was impeccably decorated, with all kinds of nice amenities and a beautiful view. We saw a family of coatamundi right outside! Jose also connected us with some local tours and was very responsive. To know: the road is unmarked and the water is solar-heated, so you'll want to time your showers (or outdoor bath!) for maximum heat. All- or four-wheel-drive is also helpful for getting up there - if you're struggling coming from town, going past the turn-off and turning around gives you a muuuch easier angle. "

Lots of wildlife to see. Make sure you take good hiking shoes and a raincoat. Also, if you drive to the area, rent a high clearance vehicle with 4x4
