Montverde lodge is not just another 3 star hotel. It is an
experience, a "living in the forest" experience. It simply brings
the forests indoors creating the most spectacular and unique
ambience for a quite stay on the periphery of a forest. Montverde
Lodge is a place for discerning nature travelers. You can indulge
in a very rewarding, non-strenuous wildlife viewing.
Location
It is located in the Tilarán Mountain Range at 4,600 ft. above
sea level. The backdrop adorns the world's most exotic
mid-elevation cloud forests. It is not just the actual place that
entices but also the drive to the hotel is quite mesmerizing. From
San José, you can take the Pan-American Highway towards
Guanacaste and Nicaragua. A right turn at the Lagarto river Bridge
leaves you about 32 km away from Montverde Lodge.
Character and Style
The rooms ooze out a very "in the forest" spirit. Only the
comfort of solar heated air conditioning and hot water baths make
you realize that you are in a hotel room well protected from the
mist and strong winds. The wild spirit of the forest is very much
embedded in the whole ambience of the hotel. There is a running
stream pond and a small waterfall, which provide a habitat for
riverine birds, a host of reptiles and amphibians. The cultured
gardens boast only of the native fauna capturing a window view of
natural cloud forest. Carefully placed benches provide a
comfortable place, offer privacy and a quite corner to observe the
wildlife, to read, to write, or just wile away the hours.
Montverde Lodge proudly offers its guests the most outlandish
dining experience. The dining room along with a décor of
contemporary flavor also adorns cloud forest mural and abundant
tropical flora.
Facilities
The Montverde Lodge's world class dining hall serves most
delectable palate prepared by Chef Hugo "Perla" Salas. A relaxing
den with a bar, open fireplace and a large solar heated Jacuzzi set
in an atrium, surrounded by tropical vegetation add a modern-day
jazz to this "outdoors in indoors" hotel. What else? The children
stay for free. The young mothers can enjoy their vacations well
since cribs are available. Special corporate meetings can be
arranged in the well-equipped meeting halls. The hotel boasts of
state-of-the-art banquet facilities and parking areas. There are
most swanking restaurant, cafe, lounge, bar and nightclub in the
hotel. Though it is set in the wilds yet you can avail a prompt
post and parcel service at the hotel itself. All major credit cards
are accepted.
If a lodge is set amidst Montverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Children's
Eternal Rain Forest and the Santa Elena Reserve it surely got to
offer some of the most exotic wildlife tours, forest views and
outdoor recreational activities. You can enjoy hiking, horseback
riding, nature reserve visits, muddy trails, etc.
Montverde Lodge is totally committed to environment friendly
practices like garbage separation for recycling, energy
conservation through solar energy consumption and water saving
fixtures.
