The Ficus is a nice hotel in a good location. The view from your balcony is amazing--the very small downtown area with the Gulf of Nicoya on the horizon--especially as the sun is going down. The rooms are big and clean, and that includes the shower--it's the biggest shower I've ever been in, I felt like an aristocrat. It's a... More

I want to be clear that the rooms themselves were fine, the staff was amazing, and it was probably more our fault for not paying attention but to be clear this hotel is located right in the middle of the city a few hundred feet from a major street. The views are mainly of the surrounding city and you have... More

The ficus is located within walking distance of town. Very clean and modernly appointed. The service for breakfast and happy hour is wonderful excellently delivered by Matt and Kathy. Very noisy at night as the wind really blows and the blinds make a alot of racket. DO NOT STAY on ground floor, no privacy, no security and the only way... More

Pretty nice hotel in the sleepy town of Monteverde, Seemed like one of the nicer hotels in the town. The hotel wasn't full so the restaurant/bar was only open for breakfast. Getting the luggage to your rooms was a little bit of a pain but not too bad.

Functional, modern and very comfortable room, two large king-size beds, lots of light, very airy with big balconies. My only very slight gripe was with the vertical blinds at the balcony window, and these don’t do a very good job of blocking out morning light. Try and get a room up the hill from the reception area, as the higher... More

Friendly, helpful staff, a spacious, immaculate room with a huge shower and a great breakfast. You can walk to town, but be prepared for a steep, hilly terrain. They have a 2 for 1 happy hour, but no food is served after breakfast, so bring your own snacks! The waiter gladly ordered a pizza for us from their other hotel... More

We had a wonderful experience at the Ficus. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially our wonderful breakfast server and bartender. The view from the eating area is beautiful - the sunsets were especially picturesque. The view of the town of St Elena was very nice too. Our room was spacious, with two double beds, nice TV and coffee station,... More

We stayed here as the second stop of our anniversary trip. As anyone that has travelled via car to monteverde knows, all you want is a warm shower and a comfy bed at the end of it all. While we got a comfy bed with a great view and great sized room, we did not get a warm shower. I... More

We loved this hotel! We had to move from a B&B that had scorpions and spiders so this very clean, modern hotel with incredible views was a huge relief. The room was very clean, beds extremely comfortable and there was a safe as well as hairdryer in the room. Very handy kitchen nook with coffee machine as well and access... More
