Elizabeth and her son are amazing people and worth the visit alone. Add on top of that the views from the large cottage and you have an experience that no one can forget quickly. So why then, do I only give this cabin a 3? The cabin is a wood cabin built in a climate where rain is falling seemingly... more

We stayed in the smaller cabin which was comfortable and has amazing views overlooking the valley. The horses graze in front of the cabin and it's far enough from the other cabin and main house that we felt the privacy we wanted. The food was delicious and Elisabeth, Javier, Catherine, and the other random travelers were welcoming and friendly. El... more

This is a super-charming little place. The only downside is that it's a 10 minute drive from Santa Elena. If you don't have a rental car, you can use their driver, who is extremely reliable. (And a lot of the attractions in the area require a vehicle anyway) I had the smaller of the two cabins. There are also a... more

Cabins El Sol is just a fantastic place with a magnificent view. This is the place if you want to relax and dream yourself away from the touristic Santa Helena. Elisabeth and her son - Javier - are great host, and they will make your stay a experience you will remember for a long time. There is just 2 cabins... more

We felt fortunate in having the opportunity to stay at El Sol. Our cabin, the smaller one, was lovely with a magical view in a magical place. El Sol is a unique place because of Elizabeth and her family who welcome guests into their family and provide a nurturing respite from the rest of the world. The pool is spring... more

We really enjoyed our time here and found the cabins to be quite inviting. Are they the cleanest on the planet, no, they're cabins! but they didn't feel gross. You feel like you are in a really well designed unique mountain getaway. The pool and sauna are awesome and the food is great! We definitely felt like we became part... more

My friends and I stayed at El Sol for two nights. As soon as we arrived, we wished we were staying longer! We had the deluxe cabin (3 people) and the smaller cabin (2 people). Each had a *spectacular* view from the porch. Our jaws dropped. The cabins are separated on the property and designed so that you can't see... more

Without a doubt, this was the best place we stayed in Costa Rica. It’s a great place to explore Monte Verde, but it is also an amazing and relaxing place by itself. We would highly recommend staying more than two nights. The small cabin is pure rustic luxury with privacy and amazing views. The panoramic pool and sauna is a... more

Seriously, book it. This is more of a bed and breakfast than a hotel and the staff is top notch. Elizabeth took great care of us and wait until you see the property. It's about a 15 min drive to Monteverde up the mountain with a stunning sunset view. Javier is Elizabeth's son that lives on the property and he... more
