Stayed at the Monteverde Lodge early December 2024. Transportation from the cruise port or San Jose airport to this lodge is expensive (as is most transportation in Costa Rica because there are few good roads). The best option we found for transportation to the lodge was with Quality Travel Services. Better to fly into Liberia International Airport (LIR) because it is much closer to the lodge. While the lodge is situated in a very peaceful/quiet location, it is just a short walk to restaurants and other types of stores/services. Plan on spending some time walking the trails around the lodge. The grounds are beautiful. The views and sounds from the bedroom were amazing. Hearing the wind blowing through the trees and the waterfalls in the canyon below us was so peaceful. Leave your sound machine at home. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant has a separate menu for vegetarians. Everything we ordered was very good (and sometimes very unusual). Talk to Oscar (bar tender) in the restaurant about breweries and distilleries if that is your interest. Be prepared for rain as this is in the Monteverde rain forest. The lodge has umbrellas for your use if you need them. They also have rubber boots you can borrow (up to size 10 only) for your treks into the rainforest. If you don’t wear boots, chances are your feet will be very wet after any tour in the rainforest. The lodge also has transportation services and a variety of excursions.
