Excellent hotell with friendly and service minded
Exclusive hotel in the middle of the cloudforest with the most service minded staff we have ever encountered. Excellent food and coctails. Two smaller pools that was nice to warm up in after rainy hikes. Lots of animals on the premises. The sun sets were spectacular.

Luxury in Monteverde
We arrived much too early but they were able and happy to accommodate us early and on top of that we were given an upgrade as Expedia VIP guests to their best rooms. This was the loveliest hotel that we've ever stayed in. Wonderful views to the Pacific, luxurious room and amenities, a hummingbird singing in the tree outside and to top it all off we had a private plunge pool with hot water warm enough to ease all the aches and pains of a long hike through the Agouti Reserve adjoining the hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful, always smiling and interested in our day. One of our new favourites!

Loved it: Beautiful views and excellent service
Thank you to the staff of Koora for a perfect stay. From the time you step out of your car, valet service greets you and helps unload your luggage. Raquel at the front desk is really good. Damien at the restaurant is great. Some of the best service we’ve ever had at a hotel. The views are unforgettable. The animals and nature are all around the property. We saw a family of Coati come through regularly.

Easy 5/5
Fantastic hotel at a great price point. Huge spacious rooms, great food, and excellent service. Hotel was very helpful with booking tours and transportation. Location is a bit outside the main town but that wasn't a problem for us.
