This is hands down the best hotel i or my family have ever stayed at and I travel a lot. The property is in a very serene setting, rooms are immaculate and have amazing views (we had two floors with a bedroom in each floor). Ther service was the winner. They memorize your entire families name and greet you by your name, they help with all tour bookings and the restaurant is world class. We ate breakfast and dinner their every night. Coctails are out of this world and a solid wine list. We were so sad to leave and cant wait to come back

Koora was such a special place to stay. So many great things - the staff were so attentive and welcoming, the food was amazing and the wildlife we encountered just walking to and from our room featured armadillos, mischievous coatis, agutis and so much more. I’ve stayed at lots of places, this rates in the top 10 - so beautiful and tranquil - highly recommend.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Koora Hotel in Monteverde. The suite was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered breathtaking views of the cloud forest and beyond. The location is ideal—close to town and major attractions, yet peaceful and surrounded by nature. We especially loved having both the Aguti Biological Reserve and the Natuwa Wildlife Sanctuary right next door, where we enjoyed scenic trails and spotted local wildlife up close. The service was excellent, warm, and attentive throughout our stay. The breakfasts were delicious, and the bar and restaurant were a great place to relax in the evenings. Koora Hotel offers the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty—a great choice for families visiting Monteverde.
