Quick question:
Are there any good places to stay around Monteverde that you are aware of (say within 10 miles of it)? As you are well aware, it's a heck of a hike to it, then after all the tours and fun on the zip lines, it's a ride in the dark back to the Arenal region or West over to Liberia or any spot on the Nicoyan Peninsula. I nearly took out a native on hoseback the last time heading away on a 180 degree switchback and given the lack of signs and unmarked roads (trails, actually), I'd rather not have to glance at my GPS every 10 minutes while driving at night around there!
I'm not looking for 4-star (as I don't think they exist around there), but I'm not fancy on an "eco-lodge" with cold-water showers and dirt floors, either. Something in between.
Any thoughts?
