Hotel Belmar

Excellent place to stay, soooo comfortable and homey!!!!!!! Way beyond all the luxurious hotels

Best hotel in Monteverde Don’t hesitate to stay at Hotel Belmar with your family. First time to Costa Rica and we wanted a hotel with a beautiful atmosphere- close to the cloud forests, clean and good food and drink. This is it- the hotel was even more beautiful on the inside than I expected. I love the small details like an actual tree to hold the sinks in the guest bathroom area. Our room was one of the basic ones on the first floor in the main lodge and it did not disappoint. The most helpful part was that the entire staff was so kind and going the extra mile. It made everything else very easy. We really enjoyed the yoga classes as well. Even kids are welcome at yoga! We booked a Guide through hotel belmar and saw monkeys and other animals in the nearby cloud forest and also did the El Tigre waterfall hike as recommended by the staff. It did not disappoint love riding horses up the steep hills. We slept soundly every night and could not have asked for a better start to our trip. Don’t forget to ask the hotel to arrange pick up at San Jose or Liberia airport for you. It was reasonable at about $200 And much better than driving those windy Mountain roads at night.

I recently stayed at this hotel with my family, and while we had a pleasant time overall, there were a few aspects that left us wanting more. First, the hotel itself is quite nice and has a welcoming atmosphere. However, the rooms did not have blackout curtains, which meant we were woken up by the sunrise at 5:50 AM every day during our five-night stay. This made it challenging to get enough rest, and I would recommend that the hotel consider adding blackout options to improve guests' comfort. Another area for improvement was the dining experience. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre and rather overpriced. We found that the prices were on par with those of a five-star hotel, yet the quality did not meet our expectations. We were hoping for better culinary options during our stay. On a positive note, we really enjoyed the tailored tours offered by the hotel. They provided a great way to explore the area and created lasting memories for our family. Additionally, I must mention the exceptional service we received from their massage therapist, Katy Molina. She was truly outstanding and provided one of the best massages I’ve ever experienced. In summary, while the hotel has its strengths, it would benefit from addressing the issues with room darkness and dining quality. Thank you for a memorable stay! ---
