I’ll say communication it’s 0 to none, as a tourist looking for a place to rest late at night this is not for you, hotel does not explain or express with accuracy late check in its till 9pm, which owner says it’s at 8:30 the latest, it’s not what (Expedia said) get there after that and you’re out of luck, you will have to scramble yourself to find a place to spend the night... call the numbers and nothing... couple of locals pass by and said to us that this people are usually late at night getting waste at the local bars and they sure feel sorry for the town because of this type of people. Yes, I went there the next day to have an explanation of why this happens and there no reasoning with management things started to escalate and things could of go badly so I took the owners advice and left the premises... oh BTW Expedia advices that this place have a 24 hrs help, which obviously does not! Overall it’s up to you if you stay there and I hope this place be a better host to you and yours, happy travels... Monte Verde it’s beautiful... do yourself a favor and look for something else to spend your time in! ##### J.Lobo Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KVB Jun 16, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff very friendly and helpful great location as long as you are willing to walk a bit - right next to a bakery so it always smelled delicious - great vegan options at restaurants within a mile. Family room was HUGE and had a vary private but small balcony over looking the forest - bathroom was the only space that was cramped for four ladies but everything else was very open - coyldnt have asked for more. ##### KVB Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Heidi, New Hampshire Mar 1, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly owners - 3 brothers - eager to help us.

They had forgotten to tell us that we could roll it back, as it was not locked. The other problem with the gate was that when the wind hit it the noise was horrendous and kept us awake. In the room the washroom area was separated from the rest of the room. By sliding doors, that were very noisy when moved. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 6, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place to stay....good location. I enjoyed my stay at Forest Dreams Manakin. The staff were always very helpful and accommodating and the location was good for walking to different things to do. I enjoyed the fact that there was forest around.....birds and monkeys to be enjoyed from the balcony of the room which was awesome. The price was right, the breakfast in the morning was good and I would have extended my stay here but they were booked. If I am ever in the area again I would definitely stay here....good value for the price. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chloe Jan 28, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Monkeys right on your door Great value for money, very friendly owner/reception.

All in all, I liked this hotel because it had character. Perfect for a brief stay in beautiful Monteverde. ##### Emily ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 31, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Excellent location, lovely staff This hotel, although a little rustic is a lovely place to stay.

More like a hostel than hotel but the price was right ##### Gladys ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo, Los Angeles Feb 19, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### View and location perfect!! Jonathan checked us in, he was wonderful. Gave us a recommendation for a night tour, which was fantastic! Hotel room was large, bed comfy, view was incredible! Hummingbirds fly all around. Wind at night sounds haunting but cool. Good parking, close enough to walk to stores and restaurants, but far enough away from noise. I loved this place, wish we had spent more time here. The food in Monteverde is soo good!! ##### Jo ### 4/10 Poor #### Rowena, Toronto Jan 29, 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Call it a cabin This is a cabin not hotel accommodation. The tv is better than other in the neighbourhood. The bed is a bunk bed. Great for students or for a short stay. There's really not a lot of choices for accommodation but if you are looking for a hotel this is not the one. It's a bit pricy for what they offer ##### Rowena ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 22, 2016 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort We enjoy the Monte Verde visit and the time on the Forest Dreams Manakin Hotel. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Oct 27, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Muy buena atención, excelente disposición de la recepcionista para guiarnos por la zona. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### jk, Baltimore, MD Aug 16, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very nice place in downtown Monteverde. Easily walkable to anything in town. Lots of hummingbirds on the property and sometimes monkeys too. Staff was very friendly a day helpful about recommending places in the area. ##### jk ### 4/10 Poor #### Ann , Nova Scotia Aug 11, 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Location surprised us. Ad on Expedia did not prepare us for this hotel's location, etc. Had a difficult time finding it to begin with, had to ask at three places before someone recognized the name, Forest Dreams, only when we said Manakin did someone realize where it was. Our first reaction to the location was "we can't stay here!" If it was not for the fact that we had aleady paid for the three rooms, we would have gone elsewhere. ##### Ann ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Jul 20, 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Profit mit Buchungen? - Nicht zu empfehlen Es schien, als wäre das Hotel überbucht: Bei der Ankunft hiess es, es sei geschlossen, wir haben aber Gäste gesehen. Wir wurden in ein anderes Hotel geschickt, das nicht den erhofften Confort mitbrachte. Die Bezahlung sollte zwischen den Hotels stattfinden. Der Hotelmanager war nie erreichbar. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Villa Caletas](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Caletas.h908078.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Break Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Beach-Break-Resort.h2243571.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Jaco](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Socialtel-Jaco.h18103596.Hotel-Information) > > [Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Camino-Verde-Bed-Breakfast.h4449816.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > > [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Poco-A-Poco.h4485115.Hotel-Information) > > [Océano Boutique Hotel & Bistró](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Oceano-Boutique-Hotel-Gallery.h8832353.Hotel-Information) > > [Botanika Osa Peninsula Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Botanika-Osa-Peninsula.h69305784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Osa Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Blue-Osa-Yoga-Retreat-Spa.h11717583.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Crocs Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Crocs-Resort-Casino.h8741357.Hotel-Information)
