The viewswere spectacular and the on site 4 star resturant service and food was great. Mountain trails were challenging. Great gym for working out.

8.0

Charming cottage-style property with basic amenities: restaurant, 24-hour gym, souvenir shop, and a partially open “indoor” pool. Food is nicely presented, like elevated pub fare. No luggage room and late check-in at 3 PM. Soundproofing is poor—you can hear neighbors and hallway traffic. Clean, friendly staff, and great views. Good for families or young couples, but not a luxury stay.

Couldn’t fault the hotel - large in all respects but not a lot of character.

The hotel is over a large area, fortunately we were located near reception and the breakfast area. There are shuttles on demand that take you to the other areas of the resort such as the pool, restaurant and canopy/night tours. The food at the restaurant was excellent. we found the breakfast buffet to be average, with the exception of the made to order omelettes which were excellent too. Monteverde is much cooler than the rest of Costa Rica so provided some rest-bite from the heat for a few days. The excursions at the hotel and surrounding area are the main attraction as the small town was quiet.

Room odor and broken toilet

4.0

Very disappointed. Our room had a strange odor and turned out the toilet wasn’t working. Requested it fixed, next day still wasn’t working. Finally requested we change rooms for second night which is a pain and mostly annoyed that zero credit has been given for first night. Response at front desk felt very dismissive and unapologetic. I never leave a bad review anywhere so wouldn’t post if I weren’t truly disappointed with lack of willingness to rectify.

Do not stay at the El establo hotel in Monteverde. It’s a beautiful location but Bad service and no maintenance. I am not sure why they charge so much when they don’t have the basic services for any hotel. It was an awful experience. Especially with the kids. Our room had no Tv, wifi. Washroom didn’t have proper waterflow for showers or toilet. The hotel has no elevator and the staff don’t help with the suitcases. The rooms get really hot during the day coz there is no AC. The pools are not maintained. There was no pool towels. The list goes on and on.. never again!
