The stay at Hotel Belmar was really something special. I stayed twice at this place during our road trip through Costa Rica. The pure nature of Monteverde, the architecture of the hotel, and also the atmosphere of the hotel make this really a special place and we had no other place in Costa Rica where we felt like at home as we did here. I did a tour to the Madre Tierra farm with my daughter and a horseback ride. It was such a beautiful experience we will never forget. The breakfast and dinner was perfect and the restaurant is so beautiful with a remarkable view over the cloud forest. We will really miss this place as it sparked magic and means something to us.

Loved Hotel Belmar!! Communication was superb from the very first moment of booking. We were beautifully taken care of throughout by Noelle. We stayed in the Forest rooms; great views, gorgeous beds, linen, bath products! The food was lovely. The whole ambience is just wonderful with magnificent views throughout, a free yoga session and a brilliant juice bar. We completed the Finca experience which we did through the hotel, as a Christmas Day activity. Highly recommend if you are a little petrified of climbing up inside a tree and ziplining. A great beginner pick! For a Christmas stay this hotel could not have been better for our family. Highly recommend!!

I loved the concept of the hotel, it was just exquisite. I am deeply thankful for Natalia, the lovely concierge, who was just exceptionally kind and made it so that all our questions and all the activities were well arranged. I also want to thank Stephen, who took care that our room was in pristine cleanliness every time, and I also remember the lovely staff at the restaurant (Paola, Vio, Hazel, Axel, Carla) who were just a joy every time they helped for breakfast, dinner or cocktail classes. The hotel's facilities were incredible, the garden is something else to behold, the concept they have from farm (Finca Madre Tierra) to table is something deeply educational that I recommend people try, and the nightfall Savia experience with Daniel si just magical. And on top of that, there's oodles of fun to be had at the brewery, so cheers to Hotel Belmar for making it all so special for me.

I have to admit that I was kind of put off by the long road from the hotel until the main road. It was not the length or the incline for me, but it was the *dogs* from the neighbouring properties which made me nervous every time, as they were not confined to their yards, and of course, do what dogs did and came barking each time I passed by. It's absolutely annoying to always have something to deter them when passing by. By no means do I hold this against the hotel, nor did it cast a shadow over my stay, but it's such a pity that this little annoyance spoils what could have been perfection. Nevertheless, this place is a truly special concept and should be experienced by everybody with all the senses.

The chalet style building is old but has been beautifully converted into a stylish, modern and comfortable hotel that feels very sensitive to the area. The staff were incredibly helpful - especially when it came to organising our tours - advising on the best ones to choose and when the best time to do each one was. The tours themselves were exceptional and very well priced in comparison to other ones we did while in Costa Rica. For example, the tours were almost price comparative with group tours we took, despite being private and featuring lovely perks such as snacks and drinks. It was easy to spend a lot of time in the hotel due to the way it’s designed to include several areas: a main restaurant, brewery overlooking the lake and a juice bar/cafe with a terrace overlooking the forest. There were also ample grounds and trails for hiking and bird watching. All this came at a very reasonable price per night, especially in comparison to other hotels in Costa Rica. That value for money element is one of the things that made the hotel so special.

Not much! The only slight downside to the hotel was that the menu in the main restaurant - while delicious - was quite limited. This wasn’t an issue for us as we stayed for 3 nights only and on one of them we had an early dinner in the Brewery, which has a larger and more casual menu. But anyone staying a while might want to book a couple of restaurants in the town for dinner.

We loved our 2 day stay at Hotel Belmar and it was the highlight of our 10 day trip across Costa Rica. The experiences that Hotel Belmar offers were unique and authentic - such a nice, quiet way to experience the nature without feeling too touristy like many other experiences in CR. We did the ficus climb adventure and it completely exceeded our expectations. I wish we had more time to try all the other experiences that Hotel Belmar offers but we'll definitely be back. The breakfast was a la carte which we preferred to the buffet experience we have had at other hotels - the portions were generous and so beautifully decorated. The onsite restaurant and smoothie bar were amazing. We loved all the different parts of the property! The self-guided scenic trail was incredibly beautiful as was the pond. We also really enjoyed the complimentary yoga class.

The room we stayed in was a bit outdated but it was a bit charming, like a cabin getaway in the forest.

We loved the entire experience at Hotel Belmar! The warmth, kindness and hospitality of the people (special mention to Natalia, Daniel, and Esteban), the osmosis with nature, their true commitment to sustainability, all the personal touches throughout our stay. Located high up in the Cloud Forest of Costa Rica, the location is fantastic; Not to mention the beauty of the hotel itself and surroundings. We stayed in a room with incredible views of the misty cloud forest Enjoyed delicious meals at Celajes with their farm-to-table concept and freshly grown ingredients Last but certainly not least, we cannot speak highly enough of our Nightfall forest-immersion at SAVIA and agro-adventure + horse ride at Finca Madre Tierra! Overall a magical and exceptional experience , muchisimas gracias! Pura Vida!

Absolutely breathtaking! Our stay at Hotel Belmar was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the stunning landscape of Monteverde, this hotel boasts the most picturesque location imaginable. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food was delicious, offering a delightful taste of local cuisine. And oh, the view! Waking up to the breathtaking vistas from our terrace each morning was simply unforgettable. To top it all off, we even had the incredible experience of sharing breakfast with some curious monkeys. Hotel Belmar truly exceeded all expectations and made our time in Monteverde unforgettable. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful place! The hotel grows their own food, brews their own beer, makes their own soap. We stayed in the penthouse suite and the view was amazing. We only had breakfast at the hotel but it was delicious. We also got a couples massage. They were able to book it the day before and it was very relaxing. Lovely place! I wish we were able to stay longer!

A little expensive but experience was top notch so I think it was worth it.

We loved the setting especially breakfast on the balcony overlooking the cloud forest and lunch in the beer garden we're wonderful. The Savia Morning tour was outstanding to understand the cloud forest and see the forest canopy close up. The guide and the climbing safety team were first class and rappelling down was an experience.

The room and bathroom were a little tired given the the cost of this hotel but compensated for by the wonderful setting and lovely staff team. The corners of the beds are very sharp!

This is a perfect family-owned property with farm-to-table food and a great juice bar. All the staff are very knowledgeable and super friendly. You can visit the farm where most of the food comes from. There's also a microbrewery with great beer and tasty snacks. Everything is done with sustainability in mind. The Savia experiences are top-notch and worth every dollar. We cannot imagine a better experience and place to stay in the Cloud Forest.
