Rooms with Forest Views

Vistaverde Lodge offers eight deluxe rooms with private bathrooms and two queen-sized beds, accommodating up to four people. Each room features large windows with views of the Monteverde Cloud Forest, Arenal Volcano, and Lake Arenal. Rooms include parquet floors and sliding glass doors opening to balconies with tables and chairs.

Farm-to-Table Dining

The onsite restaurant serves traditional Costa Rican cuisine using fruits and vegetables from the lodge's permaculture farm. Breakfast includes gallo pinto, eggs, pancakes, fresh fruit, and Costa Rican coffee grown on-site. The bar offers national and international drinks with views of the forest and Gulf of Nicoya.

Cloud Forest Activities

Guests have access to 2.5 miles of private trails through primary and secondary cloud forest, leading to a 65-foot waterfall with a natural plunge pool. Activities include horseback riding, coffee farm tours, and wildlife spotting for Resplendent Quetzals, howler monkeys, and sloths. The lodge provides a jacuzzi and heated swimming pool.

Monteverde Location Access

Set at 4,600 feet elevation in the Tilarán Mountain Range outside Santa Elena, the lodge is 90 km from Aeropuerto de La Fortuna. Nearby attractions include Selvatura Adventure Park (2.5 km), Monteverde Extremo (4.5 km), and El Tigre Waterfalls (3 km). A bus stop in front provides transportation to Santa Elena and reserves.

Eco-Conscious Family Operation

This carbon-neutral lodge generates electricity from a hydroelectric generator in the waterfall and uses natural spring water. The Costa Rican family-owned property offers coffee tours explaining sustainable production methods. Services include guided hikes, customized menus for dietary needs, and group event hosting.

“Vistaverde Lodge sits perched above Santa Elena, offering private rooms that face Arenal Volcano and the surrounding vista; expect wind-swept views and locally-sourced food including morning coffee from beans grown on site. The family-run lodge is welcoming and warm, though a car is recommended for exploring the surrounding area. In my opinion, this is a place for those who value breathtaking scenery and authentic hospitality.”
