The aptly named Hotel El Bosque (Forest Hotel in English) is a good mid-range option for those who want a true Cloud Forest experience. The well-maintained grounds support many varieties of Costa Rica's lovely flowers. Verbena bushes, gardens of impatiens, rhododendrons and many species of butterflies and hummingbirds make for an enjoyable mid-day stroll.
The hotel has 28 rooms each able to sleep at least four people with a double bed and two singles. Each room has private bathroom, hot water, telephone, and some even offer refrigerators and televisions.
El Bosque has one of the longest hiking trails of any hotel in the area. The 2 km trail through beautiful terrain can take up to an hour to hike at a leisurely pace.
Adjacent to the hotel is a very elegant Italian restaurant named Tramonti. The restaurant is under separate ownership but is a must visit if you are staying here. Called a pizzeria, the pasta, seafood and meats are all excellent and good red wine can be enjoyed in a romantic candlelit atmosphere.
