Cabañas Los Pinos, in the cloud forest at Cerro Plano
Los Pinos is a group of private cabins set in gardens and cloud forest at Cerro Plano, between the town of Santa Elena and the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. Each cabin stands on its own among the trees, so the mornings are quiet and the birds come close.
It suits families and couples who like their own space, a private terrace and a trail to walk before breakfast.
Why we choose it
- Your own cabin. The cabins are separate, in the gardens and the forest, which gives a privacy few Monteverde hotels match.
- A private reserve. The hiking trails in the hotel's reserve start at your door, and early mornings are when the birds are most active.
- Family cabins. The Familiar and Familiar Deluxe cabins are built for families, so everyone fits under one roof.
Rooms and views
There are five cabin types. The Estandar sits in the forest understory, private and green. The Junior looks into the cloud forest, and the Superior has mountain views from its terrace.
For families there are the Familiar, which faces the forest, and the Familiar Deluxe, with more space. Check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out by 11:00 AM.
On the property
The private reserve has hiking trails through the cloud forest, and the hotel offers coffee and cloud forest experiences for guests who want to learn more about the mountain. In season you may see the resplendent quetzal or hear the three-wattled bellbird, two of the birds people come to Monteverde for.
Location and getting there
Los Pinos is at Cerro Plano in Monteverde, 150 m east of the public school, with the restaurants, cafes and shops of Santa Elena close by. Liberia airport is about 2.5 hours away by road. From here we arrange the cloud forest reserves with a naturalist, hanging bridges, a night walk or a coffee tour, with a driver for each.
