We stayed in room 12 (The Belmar Room) for two additional nights in Monteverde to add to our CR vacation. The hotel is quaint and clean with a big house feel. The room had an extremely comfortable bed, it was a nice size with a phenomenal view. The room amenities were a nice touch. It was quiet and perfect with a large flowered bush beneath our balcony with daily visiting hummingbirds. Natalia, the concierge, was great with assisting with our desired activities before we arrived and while we were there. Her local expertise was extremely helpful in facilitating our enjoyment. Celajes, the onsite restaurant, was just okay and well overpriced. We enjoyed the local Sodas much better. I would recommend Hotel Belmar and would love to visit again in the future.

Such a nice hotel in Monteverde! Walkable to town, but hilly on the return trip. We stayed in the Chalet (forest view) - it was quite windy at night but overall such a nice experience.

This is a unique property. Its buildings and decor look part ski chalet, part summer camp, which is part of the charm. oh, the views from our deck sitting on top of the cloud forest were divine. The staff are behind friendly and helpful. Without a car we were somewhat captive there for our two days, but the meals were very, very good. We took a fun tour through the dry forest adjacent to the property and did some tree “climbing” which was great fun. We arranged rides from the airport and to our next area from the Belmar, and they were affordable and professional. Would highly highly recommend!

Beautiful hotel, slow restaurant service
Hotel Belmar is beautiful and the views are stunning. There is no swimming pool but the guests have access to a hot tub located in the gardens where you can watch hummingbirds on the surrounding bushes. Our room (Superior Peninsula) was stunning with top quality linens, robes etc and a shower with a window into the bedroom so you could see straight across the balcony to the Nicoya Peninsula. The first round of mini bar was included in the price of the room which was a nice touch. Service on Reception was great and excursions organised very efficiently. We did the early morning guided bird watching tour which was fantastic. We visited several reserves including the hotels own private reserve where we were served breakfast on a platform half ways up a tree in the cloud forest canopy. However, the hotel disappointed when it came to the restaurants. We arrived mid afternoon hungry and were directed to the snacks menu in the micro-brewery - There were only a handful of other customers, but it took 35 minutes to deliver our drinks and 50 minutes after ordering to get our food (despite chasing) and when it arrived we were presented with food so dry it was almost inedible. We ate in the Celajes restaurant on one evening, sadly we felt although the food was perfectly fine, it did not live up to the reviews we had read. In addition, although the restaurant staff were charming, the service was again incredibly slow. On the positive Happy Hour at sunset worthwhile for views.

Amazing hotel. One of the best I’ve ever stayed at. From quick responses leading up to the stay, to going out of their way to help me plan activities/meals, to the incredible service while we were there, to remembering my kids’ food allergies the whole time . . . If you’re going to Monteverde and Hotel Belmar is available, grab it. Their activities were equally amazing. We did Nightfall and Santa Elena cloud forest with Daniel, and horseback riding with Memo. Absolute highlights of our Costa Rica trip. My family’s still talking about it. Will absolutely come back to do it all again.

This was our first trip to Monteverde and it won't be our last. Hotel room was clean and bed was comfortable. Loved the view from our balcony. All the employees are warm and welcoming. When we mentioned we were celebrating our 30th anniversary upon check-in, they had a beautiful note and a bottle of champagne waiting for us in our room. What a wonderful surprise!! I would highly recommend signing up for the Savia Nightfall tour. Our tour guide, Daniel, was amazing! He is very knowledgable and passionate about his work.

Very noisy- not just wind as you might expect, but we could hear neighbouring guests talking, flushing the toilet, opening and closing doors. Everytime someone walked up the stairs we could hear steps as if they were in our room. Our room (room 5- cloud forest suite) overlooked the driveway so we could also hear people arriving leaving in their cars. We did not sleep at all the first night due to this and the very uncomfortable bed. Ended up changing rooms. They initially only offered a downgrade room but when I saw availability online for a superior room (peninsula suite) they agreed to move us there. Unfortunately this was only an upgrade in name as the room was so dirty- pubic hair in bed and jacuzzi had hair and insects clogging drain. It is also much more affected by wind, so very noisy at night and quite scary in storms. Restaurant food is very overpriced (over $20 for vegetarian pesto pasta that was way too salty). The brewery was great, so if you have to eat in the hotel, go there. Don't have breakfast at the hotel , lots of better places to choose in Monteverde. Staff were all robotic, though pleasant enough. Would not return to this hotel.

This is a nice property overlooking the cloud forest, there will be bugs and etc. property is clean and service as great. There is also a jacuzzi and beer garden and restaurant/bar. There was no tv in my room and the walls were thin - you can hear everything.

Hotel Belmar was great. My girlfriend enjoyed the massage services and the food at the restaurant there was great. Parking was easy and all the staff were excellent.

We loved the Belmar, staff, food everything was excellent! We did the farm to table lunch which was wonderful, love how they make good use of all their waste & provide a good amount of produce for the hotel/ restaurant in their own farm/gardens! Their own brewery is also worth a visit. Enjoy the wildlife close by, walk the hotel hiking path. We also did the bird watching tree top breakfast, also a great experience!

Really strange to have a shower on a separate room about 30 feet from the bathroom made it so inconvenient to get ready. We went with another couple who also reserved the same priced room but yet their shower, toilet and sink were are in the same room AS IT SHOULD BE. The staff are nice; food was really good in their hotel restaurant but the bathroom accommodations were definitely weird. Also, ours had no headboard, just the wall. Theirs had a headboard. Note to self: make sure they don’t give you room 10.

Dear Lucy,Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us the comments related to your recent stay at Hotel Belmar.We are very surprised to hear you were disappointed with your stay. We are highly committed to providing customized experiences and we ensure that every platform where our guests are able to book specifies the hotel details and information such as our sustainability practices. Hotel Belmar doesn’t have AC available in any of our rooms since we are a sustainable property and the average temperature in Monteverde is very comfortable ranging between 16-18 C. Very limited hotels offer this amenity on the property in the area for the same reason. Although you are correct and we do not have a pool, we do have a spring water lake where guests like to swim when the weather is nice!Since we are a small hotel with a historic background some of our rooms have small differences, no room is identical or standard and it's one of the things guests love about our hotel! That said, all the rooms in the same category have available the same amenities. The room you stayed in during your visit was probably one that has an open shower concept to look at the forest while you take a which is meant to provide our guests with an opportunity to relax surrounded by nature.We are really sorry to hear that we didn't meet your expectations of our hotel, we hope to get a chance to welcome you again in the near future.Best regards,Hotel Belmar

The property is nice but i wish there was a pool like a lot of properties in costa rica. After a long day- it’s nice to refresh
