Suberb!
A stunning hotel with excellent service and attention to detail. The rooms were clean, welll lit and of an excellent standard. We used the heated pools and firepit at night. The dining area was gorgeous with a sunset view. We saw a sloth and monkeys during our breakfast. The breakfast was served from a menu rather than a buffet. All the staff were accommodating to our dietary needs and made food to our liking.

VERY nice, clean property with friendly and helpful staff and delicious food. Absolutely beautiful property - clean, modern, luxurious. The staff are extremely attentive and helpful. Conveniently located - ~20 minute walk to get to the town with shops and restaurants or ~5 min drive. Would definitely visit again

Amazing location, amazing service. We have had 4 different accommodations on our trip to Costa Rica from Canada. Koora was easily the best place we visited. Magical surroundings, great service, beautiful rooms. Can’t stress how great this place is, in terms of both quality and value.

Fantastic hotel at a great price point. Huge spacious rooms, great food, and excellent service. Hotel was very helpful with booking tours and transportation. Location is a bit outside the main town but that wasn't a problem for us.

Hotel is beautiful, restaurant was excellent. We had breakfast every morning and it was delish. The room was gorgeous, only bad thing was there was no tv in the room. Also the roads to the Hotel and to Monteverde in general were horrible, potholes everywhere and unpaved roads. Aside from that everything was wonderful. The trail in the Hotel was great, we recommend, saw wild animals. Very attentive staff :)

Excellent hotel and staff. Marilyn Mora at reception was amazing. She made our stay memorable. The hotel is gorgeous, the views are amazing, and the bungalow was perfect. Plus, the restaurant menu was well-balanced and delicious. The restaurant staff was attentive and very helpful. It’s a must stay.

Exceptional hotel! We stayed for 5 days and absolutely loved it. I highly recommend it if you want to relax and enjoy nature. A nature walk next door and the animal sanctuary are also recommended. The staff was exceptional - friendly and extremely helpful. Loved it!

Luxury accommodations and great restaurant, but didn't quite match the value for price. Service and attention to guests didn't live up a luxury property. Accommodations had a luxury feel but views and location were underwhelming. Stay was Ok but not worth the price.

Was our favorite hotel on our trip through Costa Rica! Greeted warmly, help with luggage. Served refreshing drinks at check-in and tons of suggestions for tours and restaurants at front desk. Staff very eager to please and help in any way. Hiking trail on the property for morning walk. Breakfast included and it was fabulous! Happy hour and sunset views and wonderful appetizers. We loved the onsite dining! Each room has a figurine of a coati, they let you have as souvenir, also coffee and dried bananas. Extra touches make such a difference. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful and serene hotel nestled in the cloud forest. The service is excellent and the staff goes out of the way to make you comfortable. We saw a bunch of coatis, motmot and even an occasional toucan from our balcony.
