Pensión Santa Elena  

In the heart of Santa Elena, Monteverde — a downtown spot tucked into the cloud forest. Steps from the Monteverde Orchid Garden and minutes from the Butterfly Garden and Bat Jungle, with Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and Arenal Volcano within easy reach.

A hybrid hostel-hotel with 35 rooms, dorms and cozy private cabins, most with balconies and forest views. Downtown location feels hidden in the trees, with communal spaces, a warm fireplace for cool nights, private hot-water bathrooms, and a pet-friendly policy.

Concierge and a tour desk help book cloud-forest excursions. Garden, picnic area, luggage storage and a safe-deposit box round out the perks.

Complimentary wireless internet and luggage storage. The tour desk and concierge can assist with planning and logistics.

Satisfying meals at the on-site restaurant and a complimentary full breakfast each morning. There’s also a communal kitchen for self-catering between jungle adventures.
