Andrew
Great location and nice rooms. Best breakfast so far. Highly recommended.
Mark
I had no issues during my stay. Check-in was simple, and I was provided with a map and lots of helpful tips.
The room was pleasant, with a fantastic view through the expansive windows. There was no aircon in my room, which I feared would be a problem, but I didn’t get hot at all. A ceiling fan would still be a useful addition though. The wind outside could be slightly noisy at times, but that would probably apply to lots of hotels in the area.
The ladies serving breakfast in the morning didn’t necessarily speak perfect English, but then it’s a Spanish speaking country. They spoke enough to get by, plus they were still extremely friendly and I enjoyed practicing my dreadful Spanish skills with them.
It is a little bit of an uphill walk back up to the hotel from the town, but I was fine with it despite not being at my fittest right now. There are always taxis around if needed too.

Nicole
Amazing staff! They were extremely friendly and helpful. Both check-in and check-out went smoothly and they were eager to help plan activities and answer any questions. My original private transportation could no longer make it before my flight and the hotel staff was very supportive and helped me secure transportation within minutes. So grateful for the support and care they have for their clients!

Marcela Beatriz
El lugar estaba muy lindo, muy limpio. El desayuno muy bueno y tienen excelente atención. Nosotros ibamos tarde y el equipo se tomó el tiempo de escribirnos para saber si estabamos bien ya que estabamos cerca de la hora de cierre de recepción. Muy buena experiencia y sobre todo excelente precio.

Property is good for 1 or 2 days break. The staff is excellent, but internet was poor and needs to be have something done. We could jot get any signals and the internet was poor, we could joy plan anything while in the hotel.
Leann
So beautiful and clean loved it
Martin
good breakfast witn juice and coffee refill
Samuel
The hotel staff are ultra helpful with planning activities around town. They demonstrate a lot of care so their guests feel weclome. Choosing the room at the last possible second makes me wish I planned to stay longer.
Robyn
This was my family's second stay at Hotel Don taco. I love it there! The room was great - the restaurant and bar in the hotel is convenient with great food and staff. The staff is always helpful. It helps if you speak Spanish as they do not always speak English perfectly but that is true all over Costa Rica except at the big tourist places, airport etc. The best amenity of the hotel is the resident dog, Paco, who we want to adopt every time we visit. He's wonderful. The staff is great and the village of Santa Elena very accessible from the hotel, yet its just far enough the village to be mainly quiet and gorgeous views of the sky and mountains day and night.
Kelsey
Friendly and accommodating staff, room and grounds clean and well kept. We felt comfortable and safe staying with our 2 kids and would recommend this hotel to anyone travelling in this area. The breakfast included was great as well.
Samir
Was good overall

Debra
Spotless room, comfortable beds, great breakfast, pleasant, friendly and helpful staff. We loved the swing on the porch off the room! Liked the fact that it was an ecolodge.
Denise
Very clean and simple room with a nice private balcony for our room. The property was beautifully landscaped with many varieties of trees and plants. It was a 5 minute walk down a steep hill to the main part of town. Excellent variety of options for the free breakfast, with fresh fruit, pancakes, eggs, and traditional Costa Rican food.

Daniel

Jacob
Overall, the hotel is quaint. The staff were phenomenal. The location is wonderful, bar and restaurants are worth sticking around for.
I do recommend the hotel.
The only drawback we had was in room 37 the beds felt like sleeping on lumpy floors. This could have been a situation where the beds were being updated and it was just a mattress topper on a box spring.

The wooden cabin style rooms, the staff, breakfast…everything stands out. Great pace to stay. They arrange and help all kinds of local tours and attractions! Front desk was so courteous and friendly to answer your questions! I will recommend this pace for sure as this will be my place to stay for my next visit!! Pura Vida!!

Dwaine
Fresh breakfast, amazing staff. clean rooms and walkable in town, however, uphill coming back.
Micheline
The most amazing pizza! Lovely staff, great breakfast. Walkable to downtown. A little noisy with car traffic going up the hill. I highly recommend. Good value for money.
Karen
Great customer service, nice environment and good breakfast menu.
Paul
Staff were excellent and helpful. Wanda took care of arranging all our transportation needs. Room was nice and spotless. Dining staff really friendly. Good location near town centre and also on the way to several of the nature reserves. Highly recommend.
Karen
Breakfast was premium and fresh, healthy options, nice, pleasant service. Good views as advertised. Amazing flexibility to concerns, resolutions offered. and put into pkace.
Jennifer
Although this hotel is a lower price point than hotels I had stayed at in Costa Rica in the past the service and facilities were excellent. However, the star of the hotel is Paco the resident doggy. Very friendly an greeted us when we returned from every outing. Also, contact the hotel in advance and they will arrange airport transportation and tours and excursions. Our favorites were horse back riding and the night anima tour.
Claudia
It was beautiful!
Gita
Lovely place, great staff and good location. Only reason why lower score is didn’t sleep for the 2 nites we were there! - howling from the winds, various super loud outside noise and noise from hotel pipework pretty much ongoing thru’ the nite. Sadly wouldn’t go back!
Maria Fernanda
Todo estuvo bien, amables y agradable
Lisa
Great property in a central location. Breakfast was great and the receptionist was lovely and friendly and showed us a great map of the area.
The rooms are basic, no shampoo so make sure you bring some. Pillows are paper thin and the bed wasn’t the comfiest. No air con so it got quite hot on our family room for 5. We enjoyed our stay but glad it was only for 1 night. Comfort wise. The hotel is very close to the town and walking to it is easy although no real pavements. Walking back is not so easy as it’s all uphill so no good for anyone with walking difficulties or wheelchair users.

The best!
This was one of our favorite hotels! We tried to stay an additional night but it was fully booked. The view was spectacular. Breakfast was delicious. It was close to the center of town but far enough away that it felt private. The staff was incredibly helpful, the room was clean, and the shower was nice and hot.
Karen
Hotel located about 10 mins walk from Santa Elena. Room lovely and spacious with our swing as an added extra! Staff really great and breakfasts were lovely.
Marilyn
The hotel was much better than I expected. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included each morning. It was raining one night and we didn't want to walk down town so we went to the restaurant. The food was really good and the bar was also great and accommodating. The entire experience exceeded my expectations.
ELIONEL
Esto es mas de lo que esperaba. Todos muy amables. Atencion rapida, buenas facilidades, no necesitamos aire acondicionado ya que la habitacion es muy fresca. En general bien, recomendado. Ahh me falto que sirven un excelente desayuno y tiene restaurante hasta las 9pm.
Percy
Hotel offers 4 different breakfast options. Their breakfast options and plate sizes were the best on our Costa Rica trip. I had the 2 eggs, rice, beans, toast option breakfast and it was good. Good coffee too. Their onsite restaurant serves good pizza but we ate in downtown Monteverde and it was a good pizza place in the lane next to Orchid restaurant. Very close and walking distance to downtown. They arranged for our taxi rides on both days to the cloud forests. Monteverde is very windy so that kept us up at night.
Amol
Near to downtown and nice views.
Thomas

Very good hotel in Monteverde. A little bit noisy at night (close to a main road)
Annie

Jessie
great location with pretty views. Staff were very helpful with organizing things to do in the area.
Michelle
Very nice staff. Helpful in arranging activities and transportation. The restaurant and bar were n very nice too. Walk to downtown Santa Elena is not far but the walk back to the hotel is a pretty steep climb!
James
Great breakfast. Rooms need to be upgraded.

Great relationship quality-price. Don Taco is very well located, near the downtown but in a quieter area. The room was not big but the bathroom was comfortable. The breakfast was well served and the staff very kind.

great hotel, even better hostesses
The rooms were small but quite sufficient, cost was very reasonable, and the beds were comfortable. There was a good hot prepared breakfast with choice of 3-4 options and fresh juice. The receptionists Wanda and Zadieka were absolutely fabulous and incredibly helpful - do not let these young ladies leave your establishment, they are so hospitable, intelligent, knowledgable of the area and out-of-this-world helpful!!!
Brent
Great property, close to town and wonderful breakfast options
Bao
Just a quick walk from Santa Elena proper. Parking was a challenge, having 3 separate parking locations (and the very steep uphill didn't help, but no fault of the property). Great service, but the transport for the tour I booked never arrived.
Janine
Cute rooms
Our three bed room was like a small wooden cabin
View of city walkable
Restaurant is very good and manager very welcoming
Pizza for dinner to go
Two pizzas were around $35, fed the whole family and we enjoyed it very much
There is a soda walkable which was also very good - family owned soda nice people
There’s a small community room with books, good places to play board games at the hotel
Parking is tight but we were able to park our big suv there each night
Walked down to city-12 minute walk so very convenient
If you’re looking to be close to city thus is an affordable option- clean , no frills

Great property and location! Breakfast was one of the best we had while in Costa Rica.

Everything was very nice including the included breakfast. The only problem I has was that there were too many stairs ti get to my cabin (with carrying luggage). They put me in their sister hotel next door on the ground floor and I was able to get the luggage in easily.

Freindly Staff and Great Location
This was a great place to stay.
All stay were warm welcoming and very helpful.
Room was comfortable and clean.
The location was slightly elevated over the town centre so offered some amazing views when the weather was clear and was a short walk into the town centre.
Would certainly look to stay here if ever visiting Monteverde in the future.

The hotel is very clean, room was comfortable. The staff was very helpful and nice, booked us the tours we asked, answered all questions. The breakfast was delicious and the server was very nice. I love the place and would recommend to anyone.

The breakfast was very good with choices of eggs, pancakes, bacon, etc. we also had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant and it was fantastic! The waitress was very helpful and willing to help us with our Spanish speaking skills!!

Very nice and helpful staff, including at the front desk and the restaurant. The pancakes were excellent in the morning, and they helped me book some nice tours and guides. I would ask around about the coffee tour as the Don Juan tour was nice, but maybe there are some that are more plantations. The guide they set me up with in the Cloud Forest was great and the transport was convenient. The food was good but pricey. Also in Santa Elena many places won't let you flush your toilet paper, which I don't like but might be common there. Overall very nice stay and really nice people.

The bed was terribly hard. The “restaurant” was really only open for breakfast, even though signs indicated a happy hour at the bar, and there was a menu.

We had the superior room, which is it's own little building. It was absolutely adorable and beautiful. We could not have been happier. Breakfast was very nice. The staff were very helpful. One afternoon we had no plans, and Tom provided us with great suggestions. We loved it!
Rodolfo
Good service. Good breakfast. Close to Santa Elena downtown (5 min. walk). Room is ok. Parking space is not so good.

I stayed at Don Taco with my two daughters for 3 nights and we really loved the vibe of the place. The layout is great with a lovely inner courtyard, a wonderful breakfast area and a nice, large balcony with rocking chairs where you can sit and enjoy the beautiful view. The staff was very friendly, helpful and made our stay at Don Taco a memorable one. If we ever come back to Monteverde, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again Gracias!

Not too far from MonteVerde, which was the hook for us in staying here. This place was a short walk from town (albeit a steep one) with a bunch of shops, cafes, sodas, restaurants within walking distance. The rooms had variations of balconies to sit and enjoy the outdoors. But the view is just ok and because town is just down the hill there’s lots of ruckus from motorcycles revving up and down the roads. The rooms have no AC nor a ceiling fan. We were concerned it’d be too hot at night but pleasantly surprised how nicely cool it was. Nice little on site pub, and restaurant. For what it is, we were quite content with our stay.
Robyn
The staff were all wonderful and helped us so much to get a longer reservation, arrange our events and transportation, and the place is lovely especially on the Mar Inn side. There is some road noise from the back street (motorcycles, dogs) on the upper level of don Taco but the cabins at Don Taco were great as was the room at Mar Inn (the connecting hotel next door, same owner) The staff could not have been better. We hope to return.
