HOTEL DESCRIPTION: The Fonda
Vela Hotel is located in beautiful Monteverde, famous for
its Resplendent 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. A
visit of at least two nights in Monteverde is recommended.
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.
Our 20 junior suites have a small refrigerator, table,
king and queen-size beds, a comfortable sofa and 14 with
TV's. All rooms have telephones. Most of the rooms are wheelchair
accessible; please request one at the time of making your
reservation if that is required.
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, occasionally.
During certain months the Fonda Vela is excellent for seeing
Resplendent Quetzal, Three-waltted Bellbird and Keel-billed
toucans. Horses graze in the pasture below. 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.
