What Not to Expect

Outdoor swimming pool It can get chilly in the Monteverde area, so unlike many hotels in Costa Rica, with their outdoor pools to sun yourself alongside, Hotel Poco a Poco has an indoor pool to relax in after a day of exploring.

Extreme luxury Although very comfortable and a great place to stay, Hotel Poco a Poco isn't super-luxurious. Think more "cozy" than anything.

Our agent made our honeymoon stress-free and fun! She was available throughout, even when I felt unwell early in the trip. Her support and great recommendations helped us feel better fast. So grateful for the special touches she added along the way.
