Charming Place But Lacks Certain Quality

Reviewed By MattSaraTravel

My wife and I stayed here at the end of our honeymoon for two nights. I will fully admit, we did not get to totally experience the entire grounds, as it was horrible weather for our stay. I can speak to the decor of the interiors, which was very charming and incredibly unique. If you are someone who enjoys to read and sit in peace and quiet there is a ton of quality spaces. Unfortunately the biggest difficulty we had that tainted our experience was the restaurant. The food is not good, not at all. There are a couple lunch sandwiches that will do the trick but the dinner quality is very lacking for a place as charming as this place is. They need a serious upgrade on the menu/chefs. The "Catch of the Day" was one of the worst fishes I have ever eaten. Extremely overcooked and filled with bones. I feel almost bad saying this because it really is a charming place with very friendly staff - but i have to be honest and the food was just a huge buzzkill.

Over hyped

Reviewed By 781sunnyb

We spent one night on our way to Manuel Antonio at the hotel. We booked 2 rooms and thought we would receive the customary great service at Marriott for Platinum members, not so at all. Confused front desk told us that only one of us from each room can go to the Executive Lounge at a time for breakfast or the evening?? I questioned that so they relented and said we could go. I opted for the welcome gift basket instead of points, after an hour I called the front desk and they said, oh sorry! The property is Cononial and beautiful but not the service. Glad we’re not staying here on our way back.

Disappointing hotel

Reviewed By dlwalt

My family booked one night at the Country Inn before an early flight to Panama City. We were really disappointed in the hotel. While the room was a decent size, the bathroom was tiny and needs update. We waited for the shuttle last night for over 45 minutes and wound up jumping on the Doubletree shuttle and walked over. The Doubletree was $50 more, I should have spent the extra money.

Upscale lodge with plenty to see and do

Reviewed By Michelle B

Review Selve Verde This lodge is right next to a very busy road. All night long, we were subjected to traffic noise, that being composed almost solely of big trucks using their compression brakes (aka "jake" brakes). I could see no reason for their use other than the truckers were driving far too fast for the road. Or perhaps it was to annoy the wealthy visitors, because Selve Verde is not a cheap place to stay. But otherwise, Selve Verde was a very upscale lodge. I must say it's not conducive to photography. The walkways are covered, as it rains-often, and did every afternoon. This made for a dry walk to the dining area and meeting spots, but cut off the jungle overhead. The room smelled a bit antiseptic, one could almost say musty, but otherwise, it was very good. It was quite spacious, with a couch, a bench at the end of each of the two queen sized beds. A large rack gave us plenty of room for our smaller carry on bags. A safe was provided, with the key on the same ring as one's room key. We did not use it. A table with a decent reading lamp allowed my husband to work on his laptop. There were plenty of electrical outlets. Two overhead fans, with lights, provided plenty of moving air, and each bed had a decent reading lamp. The beds were comfortable and had pillows that were NOT lumpy. A coffee maker was on the table with a complementary pair of coffee capsules. We learned later that the would be the only time we got free coffee. If you wanted more, you went to the bar to buy more, at $2 US a capsule. The room and the bathroom were both spotlessly clean. I never saw an insect in either. We had to wear a blue plastic strap on our wrists to show we were fully paid up customers. It proved annoying, but apparently that's how it works in Costa Rica. Outside the room was a good sized bench to sit on and nearby was a hammock. The lights outside the room could be turned off, which made the room nice and dark at night. The bathroom had plenty of towels and amenities. It was clean. The toilet paper was dispensed in a large, two rolls dispenser. There was only a third of a single roll in the dispenser when we got into our room. We were both in the throes of the the Zumes (aka traveler's diahrrea) and I knew we'd never make it with just one almost depleted roll, so I went down to reception and asked for more TP, please? I was told it would be taken care of and by the time I got back to my room, a housekeeper arrived with more TP. The layout of the walks to the dining hall et al was confusing, I found myself asking directions from the room to the dining hall. The signage to 'reception' and the dining hall, et al, could be improved, but I did, eventually, learn my way around. Maps were provided at check in. The covered walkways are lined with lovely shrubs, flowers, a buttress rooted fig tree. It's quite lovely and amazingly, considering the proximity of humans, traffic on the roads, etc, we saw plenty of birds, as well as a pair of metallic green and black poison dart frogs hopped into view. They're so tiny, so lovely! And alas, so endangered. Service at the dining area was outstanding. The food was buffet style, something I truly appreciate, due to some dietary restrictions I have. On offer was not only 'typical food', the term for Costa Rican fare, but also offerings more created for an American's palate. There was always plenty of fresh fruit available, hot coffee, etc. During our meals, a woman would come by with dessert-it was usually something I'd never had before and was always terrific. Service for breakfast started at 0700. One morning we wanted a very early start to go birding/photographing, and we got what they dubbed a "cold breakfast" at 0530. It was, really, even better than the regular eggs, etc. Cereal was available, but I had yogurt, toast, a nice big slice of papaya and fresh juice. The paths through the 'preserve' provided us with views of howler monkeys, and dozens of new bird species. There is a bridge spanning the Sarapiqui river that rocked and rolled like something out of an Indiana Jones movie. But it was well built and quite safe, just lively. The river was beautiful. We were unable to enter the jungle preserve on the other side of the river, it was gated off for some reason. Wifi at Selve Verde was robust and free. We did not utilize the bar. There is a fairly substantial gift shop with very decent prices and the sales conducted by a lovely young lady who speaks excellent English. They have laundry service, 24 hours after I turned in a large bag of clothing, it returned neatly folded, every button on every shirt buttoned and socks all precisely matched. We got back to our room that second day to discover that, while our room had been serviced, the trash had not been taken out. And in Costa Rica, one does not flush toilet paper down the toilet, one deposits it in a trash basket next to the toilet. Upon my complaint it was rectified rapidly, but, still, it spoke of a rather slapdash housekeeper. That, combined with the failure to mention that coffee was not free, and the lack of two rolls of toilet paper when we first got into the room, was the only fault I could find with Selve Verde. I would definitely stay at Selve Verde again, and I recommend it if you ever make your way to that part of Costa Rica.

A stunning respite!

Reviewed By ingiepingi

After a month and a half straight in the city of San Jose, I was desperate for nature, the mountains, and quiet. A Costa Rican friend recommended Hotel Chalet Tirol which turned out to be the perfect spot. The hotel grounds are in a storybook like setting with magnificent gardens and a fine restaurant with a wait staff eager to please and at dinner, live piano music. Our upstairs chalet room was so quiet that we thought we were the only ones at the hotel until we saw people flocking into the restaurant at for our meals. (see separate restaurant review). The room was a bit rustic which suited us fine; it enhanced the experience of being in a Swiss chalet. The king bed was super comfortable. One tip for the refreshingly chilly night– the electric fireplace actually works so don’t be like us to hesitate to ask the desk how to use it. It was hard to believe that for a 40 minute, $12 uber ride we were transported into, and sadly away from, a rejuvenating respite.

Night stop after arriving from International flight

Reviewed By Hodar1812

Very friendly staff, nice grounds, rooms are basic and probably European 2 star. But reasonable enough. Hotel lacks the basics like Tea & Coffee in room, Reception is very basic and offers no chance to get change or overnight essentials. Meal was in the steakhouse that is part of the hotel, very disappointing good service but terrible steak. Breakfast however was fine.
