Hotel Belmar | Luxury Hotel in Monteverde Costa Rica

We had an unforgettable stay at Hotel Belmar in Monteverde. The property is absolutely stunning—nestled in the lush cloud forest with breathtaking views from every angle. The rooms are spacious, eco-conscious, and beautifully crafted with wood interiors that blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings. We especially loved waking up to the sounds of birds and enjoying coffee on our private balcony overlooking the forest.||The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The farm-to-table restaurant was a highlight—everything was fresh, organic, and full of flavor. Don’t miss the breakfast; the homemade bread and local fruits were delicious!||We also appreciated the hotel’s commitment to sustainability. From the on-site organic garden to the use of solar energy and their own spring water, it’s clear that Hotel Belmar truly cares about the environment.||Whether you’re into nature hikes, birdwatching, or just relaxing in serene surroundings, this place is a dream.

Amazing hotel, real foodies Costa Rican experience. The staff is amazingly nice and the hotel is just a beauty! The clouds are entering the wood terrace, the view is stunning! The whole atmosphere is truly special. The yoga courses weee amazing as the activities during the day - coffee testing and mocktails. Not even talking about the brewery the pound and the garden…

This is the best resort my wife and I have ever visited. We’ve been in several countries together and agree - nothing has beat Hotel Belmar. There’s not one thing we’d suggest to make this place better. The concierge staff is so friendly and helpful, anticipating our needs. We even sat around for a bit just talking about or mutual love for birds. Thanks, Nohelia, Guillermo, and Alonso. The food was excellent in all three eating areas, and the wait staff (thanks, Karla) were so hospitable. For example, the bartender made a sangria for me the first night even though it wasn’t on the menu! The room was so comfortable and just the right amount of luxury without overdoing it for us. It’s classic and homey and we loved that there wasn’t a TV in our room. The grounds and excursions are unbelievably beautiful and so worth the time and money - don’t question it, just trust us. We’d stay here again without a doubt. Thanks to everyone here.

We had an amazing time at Hotel Belmar! Our group included a 3yo, two in their 30s, and one about to turn 70 and there was plenty for all of us to enjoy. I would definitely recommend their visits to both Finca Madre Tierra and SAVIA! Definite highlights of our trip.||We hired their private driver, Mauricio, to pick us up from the airport and I’m so glad that we did. He made for an amazing introduction to the country and set all of us at ease. Even though I was a total space case and forgot our car seat at customs- he was so patient, positive, and kind and still led us on best road trip ever. (He had even offered to install their own car seat ahead of time.. next time I will say yes!) Everyone else from the front desk to the servers, housekeeping, gardeners.. literally every department were genuinely so kind and helpful and really made us feel welcome and at home.||We were wowed by how eco-friendly the whole place is, and obsessed with their coffee as well as all their bath products! My mom had to buy bottles of their lotion and hand soap to bring home as gifts, and I’m still thinking about their coffee almost a whole year later.||Also loved that there were no TVs, and pleasantly surprised that my toddler didn’t seem to miss it at all as there was plenty of nature to explore and a pond to swim in! Oh and the tap house had the best hummus we’ve ever tasted, and I can’t recall the server’s name but she was super sweet and answered all of my mom’s questions about it- so hopefully she gets this “thank you.” :)

We loved everything about Hotel Belmar and all that they had to offer! We spent a week long honeymoon at Hotel Belmar and could not have been happier. All of the staff seemed surprised that we were staying in Monteverde/at Belmar for an entire week - I assumed because there is so much to do/see in Costa Rica that it is rare for folks to spend it all in one place - but we would have stayed there longer if we could. ||All of the staff were friendly and helpful! It was clear that they made an effort to recognize guests by name and were appeared genuinely happy to see you during your stay.||All of the amenities were fantastic! We stayed in a Nicoya Suite on the ground floor and loved it! The view out to the Pacific while still having windows look out into the jungle-forest was really enjoyable. We spent a ton of time enjoying the deck - reading at the table, napping on the large swinging daybed, and soaking in the hot tub. ||The onsite dining/drink options were a huge highlight! We dined in town a couple of times and had a nice dinner at San Lucas, but we really enjoyed eating at both the main restaurant and the brewery. All of the food was delicious and there was a great variety between the two spots. We also really liked the juice bar juices and smoothies.||We also booked a lot of experiences through the hotel and thoroughly enjoyed them! We did the cocktail class, a couples massage, breakfast in the canopy at Savia, horseback riding at their Finca Tierra Madre, and a night walk. Every one of those experiences was great! The staff were very helpful in booking our itinerary and every person working the experiences were attentive and enhanced the experience. ||Cannot recommend Hotel Belmar enough!

Incredible hotel and experience. Hotel Belmar is just far enough away from the touristy areas of Monteverde, that it feels like a world unto itself. The rooms were incredibly welcoming and luxurious with amazing views of the mountain forests. The amenities are top notch and include two restaurants, a brewery, a juice bar and farm that you can pay to visit. We didn’t make it to the farm but everything else we tried was incredible. But what makes Hotel Belmar really standout was the staff. They made us feel welcome from the moment we checked in to after we left. Everyone appeared to find joy in delivering a great guest experience, which I have to believe is connected to their mission and culture. We will be back for sure!

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 give the hotel a 4.5. The rooms were nice, kind of modern rustic vibe happening. The service was amazing. Katherine at the restaurant was superb. I forget the gentleman’s name who checked us in, he was also great. The food was excellent. The excursion we did to Monteverde cloud forest was very detailed with information on biodiversity of the forest. We didn’t see any animals. If you like biology then this may be a tour you will enjoy. If you’re not into that kind of thing then skip it and do another tour.
