Great hotel. In reception, there is a lost of around 25 tours and activities to do if you have free time, like ziplining, sloth sanctuary tours and hanging bridges tours. The lady at the front desk was very helpful in booking these tours. They are all written on a mini whiteboard with the prices and the times you can do them. At reception as well, I saw on their cameras what looked like people’s rooms.. when we went inside ours I couldn’t see any cameras but this was a little unsettling still. The rooms are fantastic; good bathroom, a safe and what are some of the comfiest beds I have ever slept in my life. Monteverde is up in the hills so it gets quite cold so we had around 3 duvets so we don’t get cold. No pool in the hotel which is a bit of a bummer, but you’re in the mountains so I wouldn’t expect any another hotel in Monteverde to have one. The food is adequate; breakfast is not the greatest, but lunch and dinner is a little better. The bar is also very good with very good service. You can get a taxi for around $13 into town (Santa Elena); the people at reception should be able to help you do this. This hotel is quite far from town which is annoying, however it is the closest hotel in Monteverde to the reserve, it is a 15 minute walk, and do be careful of cars. Overall, the Trapp Family Hotel is a very good hotel in Monteverde, and I had a great 3 days there.
