Summary: Easy check‑in, friendly staff, a modern clean room, awesome grounds, and a great location made the stay fantastic.

Summary: This hotel has the coolest pool and hot tub set up. The pool is covered and very warm. It includes a swim up bar with a giant TV beside it. We watched one of the world cup games while swimming. It was raining the whole time, but with the pool having a cover over the top we had a comforable afternoon. The nature walk on property is also lovely!

Summary: Lovely hotel, great location and fantastic staff. The only thing that let's it down are the rooms which are a little basic and have very little sound insulation so we could here everything in the bar at night or kids making noise next door or as soon as staff were walking early morning. Other than that a great location, decent breakfast, lovely pool and bar area and super helpful and friendly staff.

Summary: We love to stay at Poco a Poco. We really appreciate the hot tub and the pool. The breakfast is fantastic and has great viewing for a variety of birds that seem to frequent the area. Its a good location for us as well with close access to the park and grocery store.

Summary: We loved this hotel. The location was brilliant the pool area was lovely - the online photos don’t do it justice. Breakfast was the best we had in Costa Rica and it was just a really great hotel with such a chilled vibe. It has its own short trail which we saw a decent amount of wildlife on. So many beautiful birds in this area.

Summary: they were very accommodating and we had some noisy neighbors and they did what they could to make it right with us. The staff is very very nice and very catering to you… the breakfast was really good, and the property is very beautiful

Summary: We stayed here for 4 nights in April 2026. This hotel was everything we could have asked for. It is located in close proximity to several adventure parks, El Tigre waterfall, Ficus La Raiz, a shopping center, and numerous restaurants (although, to be honest, the hotel's room service was MUCH more delicious and satisfying than the restaurants we visited.) Overall the staff was very attentive but the housekeeping service deserves a special shoutout. They kept our room tidy and smelling great, something we really appreciated after zip-lining and hiking for hours over suspension bridges and other trails. However, what we loved the most was the wildlife we were able to see so easily. On our first day we were greeted by a wild Agouti seemingly posing next to colorful flowers. Every morning during breakfast we were able to see a variety of beautiful birds both big and small. It was quite relaxing to take in the sun, enjoy the sights and sounds of local fauna, all the while sipping on a cup of strong Costa Rican coffee. Suffice to say this was an incredible experience that we will never forget.

Summary: One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. Amazing service and staff, beautiful grounds, a lovely pool area and great breakfast.
Jacqueline Mar 29, 2026 07:17:11 PM
Summary: Clean, comfortable accommodation with helpful staff. Delicious, healthy, freshly prepared breakfast with friendly attendants. Well kept grounds boasting a stunning terraced culinary herb garden, including the most aromatic shrubs in a small space. A little bit of paradise nestled in the cool hills of Monteverde. I would definitely recommend the Poco a Poco Hotel and Spa, and I absolutely plan to go back.
