Monteverde Lodge & Gardens, Monteverde Cloud Forest, Costa Rica
A homely, laid-back lodge full of rustic rainforest charm. Guests are spoilt for choice off-site with canopy-hiking, guided bird-watching, horse-riding and zip-lining; while on-site wildlife-viewing opportunities are spectacular (from your balcony, through the fern, bromeliad, butterfly and hummingbird gardens, and at La Posa de Doña Yolanda solar-heated pool); and Le Jardin restaurant is excellent.
