Hotel Belmar | Luxury Hotel in Monteverde Costa Rica

Overall, we had a lovely time here. All staff that we interacted with were very pleasant. Very good Wi-Fi throughout the property. Rooms are very nice but no insulation between walls/floors so you can hear everything. There were some kids staying in the room next to use and they were very loud and distracting to a peaceful stay. They were also at dinner a couple of nights and again loud and distracting. Nothing wrong with kids but I would have thought this resort would be adult only for a serene experience. Bed was very comfortable. We did the night tour-a bit slow and drawn out but it was a cool surprise to be able to repel from a tall tree. You have to reserve the hot tub 2 hours in advance so we did but when we got there the water was barely warm and the jets not powerful. Could have passed on that entirely. The complimentary yoga class was very good! We also got a couples massage and both therapist were superb! We saw a lot of wildlife on the property and their grounds are beautiful. While having dinner we had the rare opportunity to see a “moonbow” at nighttime. Cool experience overall.

Staying at Hotel Belmar was like living in a dream. All our expectations were exceeded during our stay. From the moment we checked in we were welcomed with amazing hospitality and care. We took full advantage of the amenities on the property and we only wish we could have spent more time there. The brewery is such a cool spot to hang out and relax, and there was live music one evening which completely transformed the experience. We had dinner at the restaurant a few nights and couldn’t have had better. The food was fresh and the views were unbeatable. The coffee and cocktail bar is a cool little spot to tuck away if you’re looking for a more quiet moment. We found some local made gifts to take home with us there too. The whole concept of Belmar is really impressive and gives you insight to how a business can operate sustainably and deliver a world class experience.

Hotel Belmar is wonderful in every way; the views are breathtaking, the food is outstanding (all organic, fresh, flavorful, and innovative). This was the perfect place to scape the reality of every day life craziness. No tv and immersed in nature. |The food was unbelievable, from the fresh coffee and cheese down to some of the best dessert ive ever had - the orange flan with strawberries and uchuvas is to die for.|I couldn’t get enough of the hot tea with locally grown herbs and flowers; always great for after a meal.|Everyone in the staff was warm, fiendly, helpful and kind. Pablo and Diego at the reception ensured i was always taken care of and comfortable.|Katherine and Karla were a delight at every meal; i appreciate how they make an effort to learn the languages everyone speaks.|My birthday took place while i was there and the staff surprised me at breakfast with a stack of pancakes bathe in chocolate syrup. Then later that day; i had a delicious mini cake delivered at my room!|Every nice i received either a chocolate, soap, or some token of gratitude.|One day at lunch i wanted soup or meat and the menu had neither so i ordered fish, a few minutes later Henry showed up with a bowl of the soup the staff had for lunch, Olla de Carne; it was delish and such a generous and thoughtful gesture!|The bath products are SO GOOD, the shampoo and conditioner made specially for the hotel are incredible.|I do recommend you be prepared for the stairs and eveything being inclined; make sure you have nonskid shoes as it rains offen.

This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. From the moment we walked in, it felt like a personalized experience just for my husband and I. The staff were amazing with excellent attention to detail. The spa was amazing, the food was incredible, and best of all.. the hotel is carbon neutral!! ||If you want to stay somewhere where nature is truly incorporated into every aspect of your stay, I cannot recommend Hotel Belmar enough.

Older hotel but beautifully maintained, overall GORGEOUS hotel!! Views, staff, food and amenities offered are exceptional. The road to Monteverde is TOUGH but just keep going, it gets better (a little). I do not advise driving in the dark or when it's raining.

Our stay at the hotel was truly unforgettable. The room was beautifully prepared, with a breathtaking view that became the perfect backdrop for one of the most meaningful moments of our lives. The staff was professional, warm, and attentive to every detail – with special thanks to Pablo and Guillermo for their exceptional care. Thank you for making this once-in-a-lifetime experience even more memorable.

I stayed four nights at Hotel Belmar and honestly, I left with mixed feelings. The most striking issue was a complete lack of generosity, which is disappointing for a property that presents itself as a high-end wellness retreat. From the moment you check in, you quickly understand that you just have your room – and that’s it. Guests are not offered much beyond the basics, and you are left on your own for the rest of the stay. Almost everything is charged at a very high price, even a simple tour of the property. When we asked about it, the answer was dismissive – that the property is “very small” and just to go down to the lake and back. Yet there is a farm, trails, and more, but access always comes with extra fees. This really gives the impression that the guest experience is not valued. Breakfast, although good in quality, was repetitive and lacking in generosity. At this price point, one expects more variety, abundance, and care. The food in general was tasty, but one evening after eating shellfish we felt unwell – still, I recognize that overall the cuisine is of high quality. The service, however, felt cold and detached throughout the stay. No one really checked in to see if we were enjoying ourselves. Ironically, we received multiple follow-up emails after our departure, but during the stay, it felt like we were invisible. The only warm and engaging staff were Steven, the cocktail master, and the yoga instructor. Both were excellent, but again, the yoga is limited to only one complimentary class – all the others must be paid for, which is unexpected for a so-called wellness hotel. Facilities are also underwhelming: the jacuzzi is set uncomfortably hot (almost discouraging to use), and the common areas are not as spacious or relaxing as advertised. The restaurant is practically inside the reception, with no real separation – it doesn’t create the serene ambiance you would expect. In short, there is a clear gap between what is promised online and what you actually experience. For the nightly rate charged, guests deserve more care, more generosity, and more authenticity in the service. Unless these points are addressed, the hotel will continue to feel more like a business than a genuine wellness retreat.

Hotel Belmar was the most extraordinary hotel I’ve ever had the pleasure to experience. From the moment we walked in with a warm and caring welcome with aqua sopa refreshing drinks for all 4 of us to the whole staff quickly mobilizing to help me find my lost purse to the most gorgeous jacuzzi I’ve ever been in to the great service by the dining staff in this hotel. The rooms were stunning with a gorgeous view of their breathtaking grounds. Go to Monteverde Costa Rica just to experience the pleasure of being at Belmar
