 Features: The
Fonda Vela Hotel is located in beautiful Monteverde, famous
for its Quetzals, Three-wattled Bellbirds, an abundance of
orchids, and a gorgeous cloud forest. The climate is
refreshing, many times referred to as "eternal spring." The
views of the Gulf of Nicoya from the hotel's 1400 meter
elevation are spectacular. Monteverde is an ideal destination
for relaxing and enjoying the wonders of the tropics.
 The
Fonda Vela Hotel has nine buildings nestled in the landscaped
property, designed with natural lighting, privacy and warmth.
All have large windows with views of our forest allowing the
outside beauty to be a part of a cozy interior. The 20 junior
suites have a small refrigerator, table, king and queen-size
beds, a sofa and 14 include TV's. All rooms have
telephones. Most of the rooms are wheelchair accessible. On the 35-acre property, you will find lush forests and
verdant pastures that are excellent for birding and hiking. In
this tranquil setting, you may see parrots and emerald toucans
that come to feed in the fruiting trees.
The Fonda Vela has 40 rooms in
9 separate buildings, this includes 20 standard rooms and 20
junior suites. All rooms have private bath, hot
water and 2 queen-size beds or a king size bed. We also have
rooms with three beds, ideal for families. Other services
include an elegant restaurant, a separate bar and TV room.
Meeting rooms seat 50 people and have balconies overlooking
the forest. Private hiking trails, guided horse-back riding,
and laundry service are also available.
 Review:
A 15-minute walk away is the world
famous 10,500-hectare Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. The
Santa Elena Reserve is a short drive away where you may
observe the Arenal Volcano on a clear day. Throughout
the Fonda Vela you will find paintings of Paul Warren Smith,
the owners' father and an early settler of the property. His
works, along with other artists of the Monteverde community,
reflect the mysterious mist enshrouded cloud forest provoking
the mind to meditate on the meaning of peaceful living with
our planet.
