Lovely Hotel but poor service
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/28/07
We stayed at that hotel for 4 nights in March 2007.
We stayed in the main building, and the room was beautiful with a balcony overlooking the forest.
The room was clean, and the hotel was beautiful and comfortable, however the service was poor and the staff was not very friendly. The service in the restaurant was very slow, and the staff was not helpful and friendly. As we arrived, tired from the drive to Monteverde, they did not even show us to the room, and during the whole stay they were polite but not friendly (unlike the other hotels I stayed in, in Costa Rica). Some clothes disappear also from my suitcase at the Belmar. If we go back to Monteverde, we will not stayed at Belmar, (even though it is a beautiful hotel), friendliness, smiles and warmth is important to us, and we did not find it at Belmar.
