Sunset Hotel

Santa Elena

We spent 4 nights at this hotel in March 2021. It was renovated a week ago and now has a small kitchen (without stove) with coffee maker, refrigerator and dishes. The room was very clean and well maintained. The name Sunset also promises a beautiful sunset in the beautiful garden around the hotel. The owner of the hotel was extremely concerned about our well-being and always asked us what we wanted for breakfast the night before. She cooked for all the guests herself and gave us other helpful tips on sights. We would immediately return there.

Hotel with charm!

The rooms are relatively spacious with small dej included in a beautiful setting especially for sunset with parking and wifi

It's a beautiful frame.

The rooms are rudimentary and quite clean. The owner is polite but the breakfast is poor: the minimum required. Fortunately the view is sublime.

A room with a fabulous sunscreen.

Our group of 8 stayed here for 4 days. Super clean rooms, owner/staff are really helpful. Private setting near all Monteverde attractions, very reasonable price. The rainbows at sunrise and the view over the hills to the Golfo Nicoya at sunset are unparalled.

Amazing views

The sunsets from above looking at the sea, the wind between the leaves, the forest nearby and the beings that inhabit it, some amazing appearance...the quality and warmth of the hosts, make this simple lodge something memorable and highly recommended.

Crepusculario is a crepusculario.

The landlord is very friendly but it stops here. The place could be very nice but it's not well maintained. The beds are very uncomfortable because you can smell the springs in the back. There are plenty of other accommodations in these places so shop elsewhere.

It's very convenient.

It's a nice hotel with clean rooms and a great view, a well-maintained garden, a wonderful and very friendly host, and we've also got his famous card.

Very nice hotel

We stayed 2 nights at the Monteverde Sunset Hotel, and despite the fact that it was located high up and outside the city centre in a quiet way, it did not have the effect we expected regarding the view: it was limited even in good weather, due to the constant fog. So the Nicoya Peninsula was not visible even in good weather, and it was impossible to enjoy the sunset. The guest on the other hand was super friendly, smiling, and with little care with us! Finally, he did not hesitate to adapt to our constraints (for example, keeping our breakfast for later on our return from horseback riding).

It's a lovely hotel, but the view is limited by the fog and unmaintained forested roads.

The Sunset Hotel is a basic, no frills hotel on the outskirts of Santa Elena.  We paid $73, which is a good value, but amenities are lacking. Rooms have nice floor tiling and woodwork on walls and ceilings, but the size of some rooms is very small.  Towels and bar soap are provided, but not shampoo or washcloths.  Bed sheets and towels are clean, but very worn.  The owner and staff are very friendly, and that in itself makes the stay memorable.  The view of the distant gulf and sunset are extraordinary.  Most guests sit out each evening to view the sunset. Breakfast is provided, and is typical for CR hotels, with fruit, eggs, toast, and beverages.  Credit cards cannot be processed on site, so be sure to prepay or have cash on hand to pay any balance.

Good value, no frills hotel, great sunset view


The trip to Monteverde is really interesting with stunning views. I would suggest a 4x4 as the tarmac roads disappear and are replaced by loose stones and gravel, drive very slowly and carefully for those 25km. 
The hotel has stunning views from the veranda and a very friendly host. That I’m afraid is where the good news ends. 

The rooms are very small, the decor is very tired, the bed was too small, the linen and towels are too old, it is extremely dusty throughout, the rooms are noisy from the traffic, the bedside lamp was falling to pieces with woodworm, the mattress had seen much better days and there is neither aircon nor a fan. The breakfast consists of eggs with white bread and fruit, no local offering at all. 
However it is VERY cheap!
