FONDA VELA
Beautiful hotel with elegant rooms with beautiful parquet floors and a magnificent view of the surroundings in Monteverde.
Located near the reserve, this beautiful hotel on a 35-hectare property takes advantage of its exceptional environment. The rooms are elegant, with beautiful wooden floors and a magnificent view of the surroundings. The owner of the hotel, Paul Loren Smith, is a descendant of Quakers; if you meet him, he will gladly tell you the history of this community that created the Monteverde Reserve. The highlight of the hotel is the beautiful semi-covered pool and hot tub. The hotel also has two restaurants.

The only cons were:
1) The pool still being under renovation. I emailed them in August and they said it would be done by end of August, and we arrived in November and nowhere close to being done
2) They could use softer pillows and preferably some with feathers.
Other than that, everything was great. The room had a strong mountain vibe and a great view. We loved how quiet and not humid it was. They had a dehumidifier as well which was great. No AC but didn't need it.
Not in town but a short drive if you have a car. Super close drive to the parking lot for the cloud forest reserve. We wished we had stayed here three nights instead of two. Also wish breakfast was buffet instead of ordering from a menu. Staff at restaurant were fantastic but the restaurant was always almost empty.
They had the most delicious homemade pineapple tropical fruit jam for toast.
If you need laundry done, check out Sparkle Laundry close by. Did our laundry same day for around $25 USD.
Staff in the bar and at breakfast are friendly and helpful. You can't fault their service here. Reception staff are lovely and helpful, just one person let down the reception team. The food is really good and the breakfast too ????.
