Set in quiet grounds close to the reserve the Fonda Vela is probably the best hotel in the area, expertly managed, with attentive staff, beautiful touches and a range of good - value rooms plus a highly reccommended restaurant.

The climate is refreshing, many times referred to as "eternal spring". The views of the Gulf of Nicoya from the hotel's 1400 meter elevation are spectacular. Monteverde is an ideal destination for relaxing and enjoying the wonders of the tropics.
