Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Friendly owners - 3 brothers - eager to help us. Our balcony looked out on the forest where we could watch monkeys in the trees! Short walk to sunset views of distant Pacific Ocean. Between the villages of Santa Elena and Monteverde with restaurants, cafe's and market nearby.
Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019

Where not to stay in Monteverde
The Manakin had a solid metal gate that they rolled across the parking area in the early evening. 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.

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.

Monkeys right on your door
Great value for money, very friendly owner/reception. Monkeys even visited at breakfast on our balcony. Bed could be a little more comfy.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Not worth the $
Smelly rooms, windows don't open, no fan, smokers smoking outside our room that made our room stink, old bedding, difficult to park your car. They charge $20 more for our daughter they said it was because of breakfast but their small limited portions weren't enough and she had no juice only tea or coffee
Very few birds one monkey

Liked: Staff & service
Unique experience
Pros: friendly and helpful staff, delicious breakfast, cool setting with jungle sounds at night, hummingbirds outside the window in the morning, funky murals on the wall Cons: beds are a bit stiff, some mold in bathroom, cold lighting, not a luxury hotel by any means. All in all, I liked this hotel because it had character. Perfect for a brief stay in beautiful Monteverde.

This hotel, although a little rustic is a lovely place to stay. I really enjoyed my time there due to the friendly staff, location and monkeys that visited.

Backpacker Hostel. Not a hotel. NO Hot water
If you are a backpacker it is ok. Not adequate for other couples or families. No hot water at all. No a/c or heat. Towels were threadbare. No toiletries Breakfast was great , wifi ok and the staff were very nice. More like a hostel than hotel but the price was right
