Thank you to the staff of Koora for a perfect stay. From the time you step out of your car, valet service greets you and helps unload your luggage. Raquel at the front desk is really good. Damien at the restaurant is great. Some of the best service we’ve ever had at a hotel. The views are unforgettable. The animals and nature are all around the property. We saw a family of Coati come through regularly.
The Koora Hotel in Monteverde offers a serene and luxurious experience surrounded by breathtaking cloud forest views. The rooms are beautifully designed, blending modern comforts with natural elements. The staff is attentive and welcoming, ensuring a delightful stay.
Fantastic Hotel. Amazing staff and restaurant! Very friendly and helpful!. Just make sure you bring some wet weather clothes if it’s raining. Thank you Danalia for all your assistance. Amazing views and sunsets!
This place is beautiful. It is slightly off the path, but it is so nice it is worth it. The staff was always friendly and accommodating Highly recommended
The team at Koora are amazing. Everyone in the hotel calls you by name from the moment you check in. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
A stunning hotel with excellent service and attention to detail. The rooms were clean, welll lit and of an excellent standard. We used the heated pools and firepit at night. The dining area was gorgeous with a sunset view. We saw a sloth and monkeys during our breakfast. The breakfast was served from a menu rather than a buffet. All the staff were accommodating to our dietary needs and made food to our liking.
VERY nice, clean property with friendly and helpful staff and delicious food. Absolutely beautiful property - clean, modern, luxurious. The staff are extremely attentive and helpful. Conveniently located - ~20 minute walk to get to the town with shops and restaurants or ~5 min drive. Would definitely visit again
Beautiful hotel in the cloud forest region of Monteverde with an amazing staff! Everyone was so attentive and went above and beyond, from managers to receptionists and the restaurant staff, all ensure that guest have a one of a kind experience! Also the views are breath taking and tons of wildlife to view off your balcony!

Amazing location, amazing service. We have had 4 different accommodations on our trip to Costa Rica from Canada. Koora was easily the best place we visited.
Magical surroundings, great service, beautiful rooms. Can’t stress how great this place is, in terms of both quality and value.
