My is almost ditto to Ashtep's, we stayed in the new suites which are gorgeous. The staff is awesome, all bilingual and very helpful. The computer screwed up our rates upon checkout but the receptionist was very cool about it and did not make any sort of fuss, just called the manager to fix it so she could complete checkout....

We stayed at this apology for a hotel during our wonderful visit to Costa Rica. Check in was efficient and friendly. The rooms were not ready, so we left our luggage and went for a walk into the cute town of Sante Elena. When we returned we noticed that our rooms, which looked great, had been heavily sprayed with insecticide.... More

We spent 2 nights at the Hotel Ficus (new name) in mid-September. Our check in was smooth and the receptionist spoke excellent English. We booked one of the new "Sunset Suites" up the hill from the other cottages. The room was very nice and provided an amazing view of Santa Elena and the sunsets. It had a wrap-around balcony, huge...

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in July 2011. The setting is beautiful, very close to downtown Santa Elena (5 minute walk!) but also removed from the road. The seeting makes you feel like you are deep inside the cloudforest! The staff was very helpful with the check-in, and many members of my group did laundry, which was... More

We spent two nights at the Finca Valverde and were booked into the newly built suites slightly off the main compound but still connected to it by only a few minutes walk. The suites are brand new and designed as well as furnished with lots of style and taste: very high ceilings, luxury bathrooms, huge windows in the bedroom offering... More

We stayed here at the beginning of our trip to Costa Rica. It was a beautiful hotel with amazing views and good quality rooms. It's very nice to have breakfast while watching the monkeys jumping from tree to tree outside. We also saw raccoons. The bridge we had to take from out room to the entrance was cute. The location...

Yummy food, exceptional service, and clean rooms. We could not have asked for me. Argerie was especially helpful in making reservations for activities and helping us plan our stay. She even had them re-open the kitchen and dining room for us one evening when we came back late. More

We had the pleasure of eating several meals at the restaurant at the Hotel Finca Valverde. The food was great and the host, Milton, went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The food was some of the best we had in Costa Rica - and was enjoyed by my wife, myself, and our 13-year-old grandson. Milton made... More

We stayed one night at the hotel and they had difficulty checking us in. No one knew where to find the records or how to use the computer. The room was basic and clean but the windows did not have screens to keep out bugs and they did not close all the way so we had to spray mosquito repellant... More
