Whilst the brightly-painted buildings of the Fonda Vela at first look a little at odds with its natural surroundings, inside you will find spacious rooms and good facilities. The hotel is set in expansive grounds, though it is worth bearing mind that the town is a good 15 minute journey away by taxi. If remaining at the hotel you can relax in the Jacuzzi and covered swimming pool (Fonda Vela is one of the only hotels in Monteverde with a pool) and you also have the choice of dining at one of two on-site restaurants.
