"We absolutely loved our time at Amalu Monteverde. We stayed in the Black Haus and it was superb. The view is stunning and the property is designed to make the most of it with wall to ceiling windows and a great sun deck. We really enjoyed the hot tub (not normally our thing) while the sun was setting and knew that this was one of those places we would never forget and for all the right reasons. The Blackhaus is really well designed with a small but useful kitchen area, a lovely bathroom with a double shower, a really comfortable bed with a bath next to it which we loved, and a wood burner which we really appreciated because it gets cooler in the evening because of the altitude and geography. We also really appreciated the welcome gifts that made everything even more special. If you have the chance to stay here, and are wondering if it really could be that good, please don’t hesitate. It is better than the pictures and an absolute WOW place to stay! I would definitely recommend a 4x4 when visiting the area and the best activity we did was La Tigre Waterfalls which we thought were fantastic (but we love hikes and nature and are not adrenaline junkies!). Amalu will now definitely have a place in our top 10 places we have ever stayed (and quite possibly top 5 or even number 1!!)."

"Stunning views, lovely setting, modern architecture, luscious breakfast"

"There was a lot of construction going on that we were unaware of during booking. Noise started at 8am and went throughout the day. We would have booked elsewhere if we need we would be in a construction area, for the price paid."

"The Pool had signs of wear."

"We loved our stay here. The property was fantastic, with a view that cannot be beat. The service, cleanliness, wifi and concierge support was excellent. We were one of the few that didn’t have their own car and so relied on drivers to take us to La Fortuna and activities. This was about $70 each way and so just be aware this property is about 40 minutes out of town. The peace and quiet, however was lovely after a day of activities. Would highly recommend."

"Beautiful setting"

"I chose this hotel due to it's proximity to the Liberia airport. I wasn't finished acquiring my rental car until 1700 hrs and did not want to drive 3 or 4 more hours to La Fortuna or Monteverde. It served as my base for Lake Arenal Catamaran tour, Viento Fresco waterfall hike (which is changing it's name to Manakin Waterfall Nature Reserve), and a day at Treetopia hanginging bridges in Monteverde. The hot tub was a great way to relax after a days adventure. You could even pull off a Scandanavian type spa treatment alternating the hot tub and the cool pool for a hot/cold treatment. There are water activities, such as windsurfing and kayaking nearby on Lake Arenal. The hotel also has a beautiful view of Lake Arenal and has a 1 km hiking trail on it's property. The gardens around the hotel are amazing. The brewery was the first brewery in Costa Rica. The owner JP and his son are the brewers and JP has achieved Master of Brewing Art. He will gladly give you a tour of the brewery. Allison and Jose were very friendly bartenders, both speaking good english. Allison makes an excellent spicy margarita. All the staff were excellent,the rooms were clean, and the bed was very comfortable. All in all it was a very good stay."
