I had such a comfortable stay at Hotel Tropico. From the moment you arrive the staff and the owner, Jose, make you feel at home. I had dinner on the first night in the restaurant and Jose made sure to introduce himself and make sure we had all of our activities planned for the next day. Nancy and Cristal were both friendly and wonderful and really helped me when I needed a last minute taxi or when my tour didn't arrive. It was such a nice feeling to stay at a hotel so small that everyone knows who you are and cares about you. The dinner I ate here was one of the best dinners I had in Monteverde, with a very unique menu. I had an early morning tour scheduled and they let me put in my breakfast order the night before and even came to breakfast early so I could make my tour. I enjoyed eating the to-order breakfast (I got a fruit place an an omelet with coffee and fresh juice). Besides the incredible staff, the room was very comfortable, clean, and spacious. I liked that the hotel was a little outside the town so that it was quiet and calm. The only issue I had was that at night the wind can be very loud, but I got used to it and slept well. The location is great, and it's not difficult to walk to town (about 20min), but taking a quick taxi was often an easier option. The property is really nice and the views of the valley are breathtaking. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
