Historias Lodge — Hotel in Monteverde

The hotel looks great from the outside and the grounds are nice. Unfortunately, we were put in the room right outside of reception overlooking the carpark. This meant we had to have our curtains shut at all times to prevent everyone going to reception from looking in at us. The room was dated and the bathroom definitely needed modernising.
