Situated among the breathtaking natural beauty that is Monteverde, Costa Rica, Hotel Fonda Vela strives to blend right in. The naturally beautiful hotel offers 24 guest rooms and features hardwood throughout and provides large windows that lead to unparalleled views of the Gulf of Nicoya. Beautiful tropical gardens surround the immediate property.

Are you feeling hungry after a long day of experiencing local culture and wildlife? The hotel features two restaurants to accommodate nearly any palate. Galleria is an elegant establishment with seating for 100, and the smaller Fireside Room provides a more private dining experience with room for just 40 guests besides its crackling fire. Terrace seating is also available on the balcony.

Perhaps you're interested in even more entertainment after you've returned to the hotel for the evening. Hotel Fonda Vela features an upgraded indoor swimming pool complete with two Jacuzzis, a pool table and a perfect view of the forest outside. Lockers, dressers and showers are also available. Once you're done swimming or soaking in the hot tub, don't forget to stop by The Canopy Bar. The full-service bar serves up its own exotic concoctions and features plenty of televisions for catching up on your favorite local and international sports events. Hiking, biking and horse trails are available on the property as well.

A wide variety of other amenities are available at Hotel Fonda Vela as well.
