Q: We are considering visiting the Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve in Costa Rica and are looking for accommodation close to the forest. We have been offered tours which include budget-style accommodation, but are really looking for a comfortable hotel with reliable 24-hour Internet access. We would be very grateful for any recommendations. - Alec and Gina Kruger
A: As you have discovered, there is plenty of budget accommodation available, but few luxury choices. The best hotel in the area is El Establo, which is located on a private 60-hectare farm adjacent to the reserve. Positives include comfortable rooms with magnificent views and modern creature comforts like Internet access, a heated swimming pool. However, a number of former guests have been critical of the level of service at the resort and whether it was worth the cost. Check out the reviews on the www.tripadvisor.com website before you decide. Room rates start at 170 US dollars a day (www.monteverdeinfo.com/establo/).
