Everything was very nice including the included breakfast. The only problem I has was that there were too many stairs ti get to my cabin (with carrying luggage). They put me in their sister hotel next door on the ground floor and I was able to get the luggage in easily.

Freindly Staff and Great Location
This was a great place to stay. All stay were warm welcoming and very helpful. Room was comfortable and clean. The location was slightly elevated over the town centre so offered some amazing views when the weather was clear and was a short walk into the town centre. Would certainly look to stay here if ever visiting Monteverde in the future.

Very nice and helpful staff, including at the front desk and the restaurant. The pancakes were excellent in the morning, and they helped me book some nice tours and guides. I would ask around about the coffee tour as the Don Juan tour was nice, but maybe there are some that are more plantations. The guide they set me up with in the Cloud Forest was great and the transport was convenient. The food was good but pricey. Also in Santa Elena many places won't let you flush your toilet paper, which I don't like but might be common there. Overall very nice stay and really nice people.

We had the superior room, which is it's own little building. It was absolutely adorable and beautiful. We could not have been happier. Breakfast was very nice. The staff were very helpful. One afternoon we had no plans, and Tom provided us with great suggestions. We loved it!

I stayed at Don Taco with my two daughters for 3 nights and we really loved the vibe of the place. The layout is great with a lovely inner courtyard, a wonderful breakfast area and a nice, large balcony with rocking chairs where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful view. The staff was very friendly, helpful and made our stay at Don Taco a memorable one. If we ever come back to Monteverde, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again Gracias!

Not too far from MonteVerde, which was the hook for us in staying here. This place was a short walk from town (albeit a steep one) with a bunch of shops, cafes, sodas, restaurants within walking distance. The rooms had variations of balconies to sit and enjoy the outdoors. But the view is just ok and because town is just down the hill there’s lots of ruckus from motorcycles revving up and down the roads. The rooms have no AC nor a ceiling fan. We were concerned it’d be too hot at night but pleasantly surprised how nicely cool it was. Nice little on site pub, and restaurant. For what it is, we were quite content with our stay.

The staff were all wonderful and helped us so much to get a longer reservation, arrange our events and transportation, and the place is lovely especially on the Mar Inn side. There is some road noise from the back street (motorcycles, dogs) on the upper level of don Taco but the cabins at Don Taco were great as was the room at Mar Inn (the connecting hotel next door, same owner) The staff could not have been better. We hope to return.
