Fondavela酒店(Fondavela Hotel)

Excelente estado de las habitaciones

The property is beautiful and well kept with a nice walking trail that circles the perimeter. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Pool was fabulous and a nice break after touring all day.

Excellent property with nice pool. Good pool with warm water and kids had a great time. Loved the sunset at this property.

Our stay at Fondavela was great. The staffs are very friendly and nice. We should give 5 star for that. Our room was alright. We did see some bugs but given that it is surrounded by forest we can understand that. The restaurant on property was good. We played pool at the bar and relaxed.

Beautiful Property! Nice updated rooms and bathrooms. Animals on the property including monkeys in their trail. Need clearer instructions on where to park for some rooms. Theres abit of walk from the car to the room. Breakfast service was good and front desk was helpful! Alot of noise of the rain and wind inside the room which did wake me up a couple of times!

We liked this hotel. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. We happen to be there during a very windy days and we could hear the wind in the room. It was SUPER windy and we could definitely hear it all. Also, they were doing work on the pool which was close to our room...and every morning at 6am when the workers came in there was A LOT of noise: them yelling, banging, etc... So, it impacted our stay for sure. We didn't sleep to well. Plus, we didn't have access to the pool because they were working on it.

I imagine that at one time this was a nice property and maybe it will be one day, but not now. We booked this hotel because it was listed with a pool. The pool was under construction. When I approached the subject with the staff, they rudely told me that they had informed the websites and it was there fault it was not taken down. Then in the dining room we met others who had chosen the hotel for the pool as well - they had booked through another site, making clear this was not *******'s fault, but there own. They refuse to take responsibility for it. Had we known they did not have a pool, we could have stayed some where cheaper and closer to town. As this hotel is outside of town, through a very torn up/pot filled hotel. Besides the lack of pool and lack of helpful response from this hotel, the newly renovated showers flood the bathroom so there is no way to have a dry bathroom. If you like to wear socks in your room, find some where else. If you travel with clothes that you hang up - find somewhere else. There is no closet, and their solution was to put hangers on a towel rack, so your choice is either to hang your towels or clothing... but wait the hangers dont actually fit on the towel rack, so plan on your clothes ending up on the floor. Lastly, if you have any sensitivity to light, I do not recommend that you stay here. Our room had a wall of glass blocks with no way of shading, so we woke up every morning at 530am to sun streaming in. I would not stay here again.

Loved our stay here. The property was beautiful. Our room was lovely. The staff were all so friendly and went out of their way to make our stay amazing. The food is delicious, drinks were great and all the restaurant staff were exceptional.

I wish I could give Fonda Vela 6 out of 5. The road from Santa Elana was fun, take your time you'll get there. The property was spectacular. Properly placed to enjoy every sunset. About a 25 minutes walk up to Monte Verde Park. Our room was recently renovated and was beautiful. The local coffee in the room was delicious. Beds, shower, views were all perfect. The restaurant on site makes you not want to look any further. Dinner was fantastic. Try the coffee ice cream. Breakfast is included and will prep you for your day of exploration. Freddy (I think his name was) was a gracious host at the restaurant. He even included us in the feeding of Matéo the hotel monkey. The desk can help you book local tours etc. They set us up for ziplining. The property is truely in the clouds. Early mornings and after sunset the mist comes in and makes this property truely magical. If my wife and I ever head back to Monte Verde we will definitely stay here again.
