Koora Hotel Monteverde was a wonderful place to stay during our visit. Our room was stunning - a spacious, two-level suite with breathtaking views overlooking the mountains. The hotel's location is quite remote, which adds to its peaceful atmosphere, though it does mean you'll likely need to take taxis to get around, as we did. The concierge team was excellent. They were incredibly helpful and assisted us in booking some excursions that really enhanced our stay. We at at the restaurant a few times and the food was excellent quality and the view was amazing. One area for improvement would be the vegan options. There was really only one main vegan entrée available, which became repetitive during our stay, and the kitchen was unable to offer much variety beyond that. Additionally, there was no vegan bread available, which made breakfast options somewhat limited. Restaurant service was also a little inconsistent at times and could have been more attentive. A helpful tip for visitors: Monteverde is significantly cooler than other parts of Costa Rica. We were glad to have brought sweaters and long pants. The hotel does a great job of keeping guests comfortable, with heaters in the outdoor areas and blankets readily available. Overall, Koora Hotel Monteverde offered a unique and memorable experience for us. The scenery was amazing and it had a very relaxed and tranquil vibe.

Our stay at Koora in Monteverde was nothing short of magical. Nestled deep in the cloud forest, the setting alone is breathtaking—lush, peaceful, and completely immersive. Staying in our private bungalow truly felt like being part of the forest, with the most incredible view overlooking the distant Pacific Ocean. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond in every single interaction. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care made the entire experience feel incredibly special. We were welcomed with a beautiful anniversary surprise—a charcuterie board with wine and a hand-carved wooden coati—which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. The bungalow itself was impeccable: spotless, well-appointed, and incredibly comfortable. The bed was one of the best we’ve ever slept in—perfect after long days exploring. The restaurant was equally impressive. Every meal was delicious, and the service matched the high standard we experienced throughout the property. Koora is truly something special—an unforgettable blend of luxury, nature, and heartfelt hospitality. We would return in a heartbeat.

“Wonderful hotel in Monteverde”

A great place to stay in Monteverde. Beautiful suites, great food and wonderful staff. Its a great place to start discovering Monteverde. we had the suite with the plunge pool, which was great to chill in after a day of hiking in the cloud forest.

“Nice boutique hotel stay with great valley views”

We stayed in a two-bedroom cottage which was good as it was split into two floor levels. Both had balcony views framed by trees. The built-in HVAC unit didn't work on the heat setting which was a factor with nights dipping to 14 Celsius but a small plug-in heater helped. Overall, the desk staff an… Più

We stayed in a two-bedroom cottage which was good as it was split into two floor levels. Both had balcony views framed by trees. The built-in HVAC unit didn't work on the heat setting which was a factor with nights dipping to 14 Celsius but a small plug-in heater helped. Overall, the desk staff and dining room staff were very helpful and courteous. We booked several guided tours with the desk and the vendors were knowledgeable and professional. The hotel has a very good kitchen and we enjoyed breakfast and dinner each day of our three day stay. Additionally the cocktail list had some fun and creative options. As mentioned, the serving staff were very good! Be sure to book a table on the dining area balcony to catch the sunset for dinner! One small negative regarding the dining room was the table card access via barcode to the menus. It's hard to scan a whole menu on a phone view as we all know and we're well past the pandemic when bar code menus became popular. I don't think printing some cardstock menus would put a load on the hotel's environmental impact. Otherwise, we had a very enjoyable stay!
