Hotel Claro de Luna — Hotel in Monteverde

There was plenty of parking at this hotel. The check-in staff was friendly and efficient. They gave us a map and lots of information about the town. They showed us their resident sloth, too!||The parking lot is secured by a gate at night. We rented the large house for 4 nights. Everything was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with oil, spices, coffee, sugar, etc. It even had some sauces and a fresh bag of ice in the freezer. The mattresses were okay - enough to get a comfortable night’s sleep. The hotel is a short walk into town.|The area has very high winds causing the upstairs rooms to be very noisy. We enjoyed sitting outside relaxing on the porch swings. The staff contacted us after the 3rd night asking if we needed any housekeeping.||There is plenty of counter space in the bathrooms. Unfortunately, not much hot water. The second shower was always just luke warm if multiple people took back to back showers. The rooms didn’t have a place to put bags on (just a small night stand), so we ended up putting them on the other bed in the room. The outlets were on the walls, but not near the night stand. The power went out nightly due to the high winds - sometimes just a few minutes, but one night it was out for 4 hours. Each room has a flashlight.||Despite some of the short comings, we really enjoyed this hotel.

We loved this place. Although you are only a short walk to all the amenities of the town, the gardens are extensive and there is lots of wildlife to spot, especially butterflies. The staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much to ask.

The rooms are huge and clean, and the beds extremely comfortable (I have never seen such a thick mattress!). A fridge and coffee machine in the room were an unexpected bonus. The water in our room took a minute to run hot but it worked fine. Bug spray was available (although we didn't need it), and as Monteverde is at altitude, we found the weather quite cool so we did not need AC. The veranda is a nice place to sit and listen to the birds etc.

It was great to have a recycling bin in our room and find the bins not lined with plastic bags (it always horrifies me how many unnecessary plastic bin-liners and other waste is created by tourism); I wish more hotels would follow suit.

The breakfast was not extensive but this not a 4 or 5 star hotel and it was plentiful, fresh and tasty.

I'd definitely return to Claro de Luna; it's a great base to explore Monteverde and brilliant...
