“Despite the prime location near Monteverde's cloud forests and adventure parks, this hotel seems to miss the mark. While boasting mountain views and a range of activities, I'm concerned about reports of outdated rooms and noise issues, especially given the price point. For travelers prioritizing tranquility and value, other lodging options in Monteverde might be a better fit.”
