Hotel was comfortable. Grounds were very pretty and room was convenient with three beds for a family of four with two teenagers. Nothing nearby to walk to so need a car. Pool was ok but smaller than we expected. Nice view.

Amazing stay with the best views. Comfortable beds. The shower head was not good and shower controls were not working properly, but overall amazing resort.

We did not have any hot water and our tub was broken. It never got fixed and they would not give us a refund or discount of any kind. Sucked as it was supposed to be our honeymoon.
Shuttle Drivers were very cool A+ but all other services were not super helpful or accommodating.

A beautiful place in the misty mountains.
What i did not like was that the windows had only partial blackout curtains, making a lot of light come in very early. So good for early risers only.

The check in time in Hotels.com was mentioned as 2pm but the front desk said it is 3pm. Also, the hot water for the shower lasted only for 20 minutes.
You have to call and wait for the shuttle which takes some times more than 15 minutes.

Overall nice property in a great location. The room is nothing special, but it matches the pictures and is clean. It was a much bigger property than expected. They have their own hikes on property that you can explore. Every room has a view and the sunsets are great.

We had a wonderful stay at El Establo! Property is very large and well-maintained; we were able to get a taste of the jungle just by walking between buildings, and enjoyed private walking trails up in the mountains above the rooms. We enjoyed both restaurants on premises, but especially the traditional Costa Rica dishes on breakfast buffet at Las Reinas: they had some kind of amazing homemade papaya pineapple jam and great Costa Rican coffee. The most pleasant surprise was abundant wildlife on premises: we saw more birds, agouti, and coati from our balcony than in the cloud forest! Property was quiet, safe, and staff were helpful with reservations and arranging transportation.

We stayed at this property for two nights. On our first night as we were getting ready for bed we started seeing bugs appear inside the room which as we got close we realized they were wasps. It from 2-5 wasps to like more than 30 inside the room. We had our 2 year toddler. We called the front desk multiple times but there was no answer because they were closed. We also called the after hours line and there was no answer. We ended up having to grab a mattress and somehow squeeze it in the bathroom where we spent the night with our 2 year old. It wasn’t until the next morning when they helped us changed rooms that we realized there was no screen for the window and it was how the wasps got in. We complained to the front desk about our terrible experience and how this was their fault because there was no screen on the small window as there was in the new room we got transferred to. The customer service we received was horrible. They didn’t seem to care or feel bad about our experience. We asked for a refund for the one night and got no where. No one helped us and they did not offer us any services to at least try to offset the horrible experience. Very disappointing with how this issue was handled. As it seemed they just pretended they were going to do something about our refund but never did. Never did we get an answer from any manager or staff. Would not stay here again.

Location was beautiful with fantastic views of sunset. Room was in good condition. Breakfast buffet was great and had many options.
Some of the issues I can think of is that room only had coffee. Having tea bags as well would have been great for tea drinkers. Wi-Fi was an issue where if we closed the door of the room, we couldn’t connect to Wi-Fi despite them having extenders. But this is a remote place and having Wi-Fi itself is probably a luxury.
8.0
The scenery in this hotel is excellent! You have to stay here to watch the sunset, night time sky and amazing scenery... all of this from the room itself.
The cons are the walls are paper thin. You can hear everything people in other rooms talk. Bath rooms are ok, beds are good.
Staff is very helpful and nice.
Not many vegan options in the restaurant.

Our Family Suite was Confort and had a wonderful view towards the Gulf of Nicoya( sunsets). My complaint is with the food neither our dinner nor breakfast was adequate. Breakfast was disappointing, cold not eell prepared Gallo Pinto, below par fruit, stale bread, etc.
10.0
This property is huge but the way it's designed, you feel almost in solitude with nature and cloud forest. Saw a beautiful rainbow every day which was a nice bonus. Everyone on staff is polite and helpful. Shuttle service was necessary for me because I have knee issues. Breakfast and the upper restaurant for lunch and dinner is amazing. I didn’t want to leave.

Beautiful resort. I saw the bad reviews but we had a wonderful experience. The front desk staff were amazing, they gave us the Expedia credit towards our dinner at the restaurant. The shuttle buses were available to get us and our luggage to and from our room and the views are astounding I would definitely stay here again.

It was an amazingly unique experience.

The grounds at this hotel are lovely, the location is great, and the wildlife that you see on the lawn (specifically Coati) is amazing. Unfortunately, we had issues at check in and the management was completely unresponsive. We were assigned to a room and upon moving in found that there was a leak in the ceiling and the bed was wet. I immediately asked to be moved and it took close to three hours and multiple calls to make it happen. The room they finally put us in was not fully prepared. The next afternoon, our door was opened by a new guest who had been assigned and given keys to our room. I asked to speak with the manager several times and upon departing after three nights, had never heard from him.

1.0
Stay away from this hotel. The front desk staffs are simply RUDE. The T girl at check in messed up our room number, took forever to check-in and refused to grand the resort credits Expedia given to the VIP guests. You can clearly tell the attitude when you request for extra towels. This is our third stop at Costa Rica, the worst hotel in the entire trip.
The room is very dark, there are a lot of BUGs everywhere, spiderwebs between beds. Most importantly there is no hot water at night. The hairdryer is not working, no additional toilet paper, toilet has very low pressure, it takes a couple flushes every time you use it. The breakfast has very limited selections, the milk was BAD, flies are enjoying your food while you are eating.
At the end of the day. The hotel is at a convenient location, but the hotels staffs (especially the!front desk) should not be in the hotel business if they are not willing to assist.

First our keys didn’t work, we couldn’t contact them WiFi didn’t work on our phones, we were visiting from USA. Luckily our next door guest saw and called front office. When we entered the bathroom had been not flushed and dustbin had garbage in it. We tried to flush the toilet it didn’t flush. They changed the room, where bed linen was not changed had blood stain. They canceled our night walk tour because of rain but next day we heard other night tours happened in the area. It was not a pleasant experience.
3.0
No wifi on all the hotel. Been down for a while it seems because the access points are not even online at all. Also Monteverde averiguare teneorsturrs are like 2 degrees centigrade higher than previous years and this hotel with their 100 has no air conditioning or even ceiling fans on the rooms. Extremely hot during the day, you can open the balcony door if you want bugs (not even a screen door). TV signal has been divided into so many rooms and humdinger without proper equipment and boosters that all channels are grainy or fuzzy. Smart tvs with no wired Internet btw. They got EV chargers at the entrance of the hotel instead of having then on the guest parking lots for each buildings where the cars sleep through the night (or at least some 240v outlets). In the end got the room for the same price, with no internet, no ac or fans, crappy tv signal. Summary: overpriced for the amenities, guess they don’t want to invest on making the rooms better.

We stayed here for two nights. View from the balcony was amazing to watch the clouds moving in towards you. Service was amazing. It was my wife’s birthday and the restaurant surprised her with a special dessert.
2.0
The wifi is terrible and apparently they do not carry toothpaste/dental kits. It caused us some inconvenience. Additionally a glass panel of the backdoor fell off and narrowly missed me with in minutes of getting in the room. Though somebody came and fixed it, we did not get an apology or an offer to move rooms etc.
Thankfully we were staying for just a night and did not want to cause fuss.
3.0
The location and service is very good. Internet service is very poor. Although a fan is not necessary here, we were not provided a fan on request.
4.0
The hotel is set in beautiful grounds. The swimming pool and activities are great for kids. The service was excellent and I will recommend to friends. Only feedback is that dinner was very pricey and not to our taste (the lunch options a good).
