We enjoyed our short stay at this property. The nature hike was educational - I think we even saw a Quetzal. Kitchen was well equipped but we didn’t really get a chance to use it. We were able to sit out on our quiet deck to watch the stars and the birds in the morning. Staff were very kind. quiet

Check in was quick and easy and the host was friendly and knowledgeable. The cabin, however, was in need of refurbishing. While it was quite clean inside, one bathroom smelled so strongly of mold that we could not use it. Fortunately we had booked a larger cabin than we needed (it was the only unit available when we booked) so it had two bathrooms, otherwise we would have had to find alternate accommodations. It appears that the establishment reinvests little in their facilities as this cabin was very rough. The mattress and pillows were ancient and lumpy and the place was rustic to the point of shabby. The kitchen and bathroom sinks had no hot water taps, only the shower had hot water. I cannot recommend this place to others.

Our cabin was private with nature views and lots of birds to look at. Occasionally at night you would hear dogs barking. But it was not too excessive.

Melissa met us and was really friendly and helpful. Showed us to our lodge and gave some information about the grounds including the resident sloth. She also provided some helpful information about visits the cloud forest. Amazing property which you could walk around for about 40 minutes. We saw all sorts of wildlife. The lodges was very clean and had everything you needed to cook. It is about a 20 minute walk from Santa Elena up a steep hill but a taxi is cheap if you don’t want to walk. This was our favourite place to stay in Costa Rica and would recommend everyone to stay here. Watching the hummingbirds on our balcony was a great highlight from our stay.

Cabanas La Pradera was terrific in every way. Clean, comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Large windows (which were unbelievable clean!!) allowed for great views to the surroundings. Melissa was super helpful with helping us organize tours. This place is a bit out of town so guests likely need a car to get around.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Close to everything in Monteverde. Beautiful views from the cabin. We really enjoyed our stay.

This is my second time staying at this property and will definitely be back. The location is lovely and the staff and very friendly and helpful. You can’t beat the views and beautiful grounds.

What a beautiful property! It feels like a 5-star resort with lush landscaping and well-groomed grounds. Amazingly quiet and private. The cabanas (or cabins) are austere with minimal furniture, but clean and very comfortable. Very roomy, with balconies and outside seating. Cabana #9 has the best view! If you're looking for luxury, this is not for you. But the raw beauty of the setting, the spacious cabana, the tranquility, and the wonderful hospitality of Tony and his family is top notch. We were delighted with our stay. There is a fully equipped kitchen, but coffee and tea are not provided. There is a small convenience-type store across the street. Everything else requires a vehicle. We had a rental car and drove 5 minutes to town to restaurants. The zip lines and cloud forest hikes are 15-20 minutes away. Tony and family can direct you to the best spots.

It was a clean and well maintained property for a 2.5 star hotel. Very quiet. Except when strong winds pick up, as they have a lot of them in that area.

The cabañas are beautiful and spacious. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is big.

The rooms had thin walls and the owners had two dogs that barked a lot.

Overall the property is very nice with good upkeep. However, there is no a/c in the cabins which is fine if the wind is blowing and you can have the windows open, and it wouldn't be bad either if there were ceiling fans. The pool was quite dirty and very cold. The property is not located within easy walking distance to Santa Elena so you need a taxi ($4 USD). Having a full kitchen is definitely convenient and much appreciated. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

Good location, spacious room! A few insects in the room!

Very helpful with tours !

Beauty grounds, friendly staff, close to town but far enough away for privacy.

Great place. Good locations. Beautiful surroundings areas. We got to see two sloths in the property. They helped us arranged all the tours and even laundry. Overall a great place to stay and relax.
