"The Rancho de Lelo was AMAZING! When we arrived, Beatriz was so kind to us and very helpful. She helped us planning activities and she recommended restaurants. It was probably the best welcome that we ever experienced at a hotel! The Rancho is located on a great property. It's beautiful, peaceful and very quiet! It's a family-owned hotel. They even have their own coffee plantation. The rooms are private "cabanas", so cabin style. The breakfast is delicious. The pool has nice clean natural water (no chlorine). There are very friendly dogs on the property and they were my son's trip highlight in Monteverde! The Rancho is located about 25 min from Santa Elena, the nearest town. The views from the town to the Rancho are absolutely stunning!"

"Nicest staff!"

"Stunning views, perfect host, amazing walks right outside your door! We will be back! "

"Ken and Juan were outgoing hosts eager to make our stay great. The artisan home is welcoming. The grounds are beautiful. We appreciated the use of the laundry. We absolutely loved El Despacio cafe down the street. We played games and enjoyed the view as the chef made meals for each of us so good we returned the next night and all ordered the same dishes. "

"Amazing staff - very attentive from check in to check out! That together with the delicious food at the restaurant, comfortable room, spacious pool, and great location by a quiet beach (with hammocks and lounge chairs) means we will be back! Thank you for a lovely stay! Muchas gracias!"

"This is a wonderful, quiet getaway in the cloud forest! We booked a room last minute after our original accommodations didn’t work out and the owners were so accommodating, letting us check in early and taking care of everything (including dinnner!) Our family of 5 had a great time splashing in the pool, watching the rain, and playing with the friendly dog who visited our cabin often. The owners even booked us dinner reservations & a night tour of the Costa Rican wildlife. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful every morning. I can’t say enough great things about El Sol - would highly recommend!"

"Very responsive. Had coffee and coffee maker. A fence and locked gate surrounded the property. Very attractive grounds. The 4:00 AM neighbors dog alarm was an added bonus. Got our day started early."

"Nice hotel with a great pool area. Food and drinks were good too! "

"We had a three day stay at Lumina Valley View Monteverde in April 2025. The house is very spacious, modern and comfortable. It has an amazing gourmet kitchen (love the waterfall style granite countertop!) and a great view with a lovely, vibrant orange sunset. Lovely furnishings and decor. Also ample hot water, AC and strong Wifi. Note that this location is a little far out so not walkable to any amenities. Our host Glenda, who is a native of Monteverde, was amazing. She made our stay comfortable with the little things including some complimentary breakfast items (breads, coffee and jam) and lots of suggestions on what to do and see around the area. There was no driver available, and she took it upon herself to pick us up from La Fortuna and drive us around during our stay, then dropping us all the way in San Jose. If you're looking for quiet, secluded luxury in Costa Rica with a host that really cares about her clients, this is a great experience for you and your family."
