“This is a solid choice for families eager to be near Monteverde's adventure parks and nature; I particularly like that the property has an indoor play area for kids and a shared kitchen. I think the private check-in/out adds a touch of ease, while the balconies seem perfect for spotting wildlife, even monkeys.
