This was a beautiful home away from home. It’s a little outside of town so you definitely need a car to stay there. They have a cute Brewery on site where they actually brew their own beer as well as as a nice reflection pond. Jacuzzi was not working, which was disappointing. The restaurant was really nice. The food was beautifully presented but a bit expensive for what it was. Overall, the grounds and staff were wonderful.

Everything about Hotel Belmar was exceptional. Every person encountered was delightful and eager to help. The food was amazing and the beds were extremely comfortable. Highly recommend.

This is luxury, from the lavender scented hand towel and ginger lemonade upon arrival to the included yoga class. What a beautiful place and 5 star service. When we were there the hot tub was being renovated so that was unfortunate and we had a room below the restaurant which was quite loud during dinner service. I would avoid those rooms if you have children who need to sleep early.

It was awesome. Best food and views in Santa Helena

The mini hike with waterfall was lovely. Breakfast and dinner overlooking the gardens was absolutely delightful. We also had a jacuzzi in our room that was amazing.

We had a wonderful stay at this fantastic hotel right in the heart of Monteverde. Our room was modern and comfortable with amazing rainforest views. The on-site amenities are top-notch - beer garden (with great food and homemade beer), jacuzzi, yoga classes, juice bar - and everything at the hotel is done sustainably. The hotel's own farm (Finca Madre Terra) provides most of the restaurant's ingredients, including the cheeses, and every dish we tried was amazing. As a non-drinker, I was also very pleased by the delicious mocktails. We also booked a Horseback Riding experience at Finca Madre Terra through the hotel and it was a highlight of our Costa Rica trip. We had a fantastic stay. (PS - don't skip the walking path, we saw so many white faced capuchins!)

We stayed 2 nights in room 14. I believe it is advertised as a canopy room. It was amazing, within 10 minutes, we had white face monkeys visit our deck and roof. The view felt like a tree fort and was extremely private. At night we caught an armadillo foraging below our deck. Also, the view to the full moon, was inspiring. The bed was comfortable and the shower was amazing, with 2 rain shower heads. There were also multiple options to laze about both in the room and on our deck. We also took full advantage of the outdoor bathtub, I did hit my head several times on the canopy bed, however I am 6'5". Staff was wonderful! Grounds were well kept, we loved the pond area and surrounding gardens. Everything was very clean. Food was hit and miss, some dishes were amazing such as the risotto & pejibaye agnolotti. Drinks were delicious. They do put fresh flowers & herbs on everything served, although it makes a beautiful presentation, it also opens the opportunity for uninvited guests (bugs). We did try some cookies and smoothies from the juice bar, not a fan. Their tap room & bar was really good in all areas; drinks, beers, food and service. We did not take advantage of a free yoga session but we should have. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The complimentary mini bar was an unexpected and really nice touch. I would definitely revisit here and not hesitate to recommend Belmar to future guests.

Going to The Cloud Forest was a very short distance and an unforgettable experience

Excellent place

Beautiful property, very good food, good casual dining at the mini brewery, great lodge offered tours at Savia reserve, and last but not the least, very nice touch on service such as initial content of fridge being free and charged just for refills.

This is the most wonderful place ever. Concern for the environment is over the top, so refreshing and necessary, I wish every place was like this in the world at this point. The rooms were perfect, luxurious and the food and beverages were amazing. Yoga was nice and the brewery/hot tub and coffee shop with homemade kombucha were fabulous. The farm to table food is unreal. Strongly suggest anyone stay here, we didn't want to leave!

The staff were warm and welcoming the moment we arrived. The hotel is lovely and clearly well cared for. The room was clean and spacious.

Beautiful view and gardens

This hotel has quiet and beautiful grounds. My room had an incredible view. The staff support the arts. I loved their Women’s Day celebration concert.

We had a great stay at HB. It’s a beautiful location and the staff is excellent and totally accommodating. The restaurants and Brewery are fantastic. This was an absolutely 5-star experience, but I am going to mention something that could interest older travelers. I’m 65-years old and the HB has a lot of stairs and no elevator. While this didn’t detract from our visit it was something we had to deal with. You should know this if you have difficulties with stairs. Monteverde is in the mountains and I suspect most hotels there have the same issue.

We stayed in room 12 (The Belmar Room) for two additional nights in Monteverde to add to our CR vacation. The hotel is quaint and clean with a big house feel. The room had an extremely comfortable bed, it was a nice size with a phenomenal view. The room amenities were a nice touch. It was quiet and perfect with a large flowered bush beneath our balcony with daily visiting hummingbirds. Natalia, the concierge, was great with assisting with our desired activities before we arrived and while we were there. Her local expertise was extremely helpful in facilitating our enjoyment. Celajes, the onsite restaurant, was just okay and well overpriced. We enjoyed the local Sodas much better. I would recommend Hotel Belmar and would love to visit again in the future.

Beautiful, great food, relaxing, excellent service at the front desk. Cesar was an enormous help! Muchas gracias! Pura Vida!

This was a beautiful hotel and property! So peaceful there. The private path that lead to this small river was beautiful! Saw and heard so many birds! Staff was great!

Beautiful setting but not peaceful as our room was located on the ground floor so very noisy.

Good location & awesome staff

We had a great family time with children and grandchildren. The room are spacious and well kept. We all enjoyed the pools.

Such a nice hotel in Monteverde! Walkable to town, but hilly on the return trip. We stayed in the Chalet (forest view) - it was quite windy at night but overall such a nice experience. One free yoga class and complimentary beverages in the mini bar! We ate at the restaurant onsite and the brewery, both were great. We also took the concierge's recommendation for the ficus tour at savia - so fun!

We didn’t really know what to expect after booking and were amazed at what we found. The view from our room (#31 and our friends’ rooms next door) were simply amazing. The hotel is high up on a hill with views all the way to the ocean. Simply gorgeous!

This is a unique property. Its buildings and decor look part ski chalet, part summer camp, which is part of the charm. oh, the views from our deck sitting on top of the cloud forest were divine. The staff are behind friendly and helpful. Without a car we were somewhat captive there for our two days, but the meals were very, very good. We took a fun tour through the dry forest adjacent to the property and did some tree “climbing” which was great fun. We arranged rides from the airport and to our next area from the Belmar, and they were affordable and professional. Would highly highly recommend!

Hands down to the staff !

Hotel Belmar is beautiful and the views are stunning. There is no swimming pool but the guests have access to a hot tub located in the gardens where you can watch hummingbirds on the surrounding bushes. Our room (Superior Peninsula) was stunning with top quality linens, robes etc and a shower with a window into the bedroom so you could see straight across the balcony to the Nicoya Peninsula. The first round of mini bar was included in the price of the room which was a nice touch. Service on Reception was great and excursions organised very efficiently. We did the early morning guided bird watching tour which was fantastic. We visited several reserves including the hotels own private reserve where we were served breakfast on a platform half ways up a tree in the cloud forest canopy. However, the hotel disappointed when it came to the restaurants. We arrived mid afternoon hungry and were directed to the snacks menu in the micro-brewery - There were only a handful of other customers, but it took 35 minutes to deliver our drinks and 50 minutes after ordering to get our food (despite chasing) and when it arrived we were presented with food so dry it was almost inedible. We ate in the Celajes restaurant on one evening, sadly we felt although the food was perfectly fine, it did not live up to the reviews we had read. In addition, although the restaurant staff were charming, the service was again incredibly slow. On the positive Happy Hour at sunset worthwhile for views.

Amazing hotel. One of the best I’ve ever stayed at. From quick responses leading up to the stay, to going out of their way to help me plan activities/meals, to the incredible service while we were there, to remembering my kids’ food allergies the whole time . . . If you’re going to Monteverde and Hotel Belmar is available, grab it. Their activities were equally amazing. We did Nightfall and Santa Elena cloud forest with Daniel, and horseback riding with Memo. Absolute highlights of our Costa Rica trip. My family’s still talking about it. Will absolutely come back to do it all again.

Hotel Belmar in Monteverde offers a five-star retreat in the heart of Costa Rica's natural paradise. While lacking air conditioning, the mountain breeze provides a refreshing ambiance, aligning with the hotel's commitment to sustainability. The standout restaurant delights with creative flavors and attentive service. Set amidst the stunning landscapes of Monteverde, this eco-friendly gem is a perfect escape for nature lovers seeking a luxurious yet authentic experience.

We got the room that had both sunrise and sunset views, and it was absolutely breathtaking. The short hike on the property was also pretty cool, and the front desk helped us with reservations for the Curi Cancha night walk. I only wish that the breakfast would have been included in the price, and also that they had more traditional breakfast options on the menu. Apart from that, our stay was wonderful, and we wouldn't hesitate to book the same room again.

Very nice staff. Amazing room with views. Would definitely come back 😊

This is a beautiful property but getting to it takes nerves of steel. Driving in Costa Rica is a challenge and going to Monte Verde is no picnic! Get a driver and GO see it! The town is picturesque and great food, go to Amigos Bar, oldest in Monte Verde, it will take you back in time to a more simplistic way of life. Pura Vida!

This was our first trip to Monteverde and it won't be our last. Hotel room was clean and bed was comfortable. Loved the view from our balcony. All the employees are warm and welcoming. When we mentioned we were celebrating our 30th anniversary upon check-in, they had a beautiful note and a bottle of champagne waiting for us in our room. What a wonderful surprise!! I would highly recommend signing up for the Savia Nightfall tour. Our tour guide, Daniel, was amazing! He is very knowledgable and passionate about his work. The onsite craft brewery is an added bonus feature. Be sure to catch the beer tasting event! Isaac was very knowledgeable and welcoming. We also enjoyed the food at the brewery. We will definitely stay here again.
