Cabinas El Pueblo - Monteverde
When Aimee and I arrived in Monteverde we didn't really know where we were going to stay for the weekend. We had looked at a couple different hostels in the information books available at the school and spoke to Los Solos about different hostel options. So far this time in Costa Rica has been the most adventurous that I've ever been in my entire life. Heading out into the unknown without solid plans of where I will be laying my head down at night. Tengo miedo!
So getting off the bus, I was concerned with locating el bano (see previous post about bus ride) while Aimee was apparently bombarded with hotel vultures trying to entice her to their establishments. There was one really nice lady though that swooped in and asked if we had reservations and offered to give us directions. Then she showed us on a map where her mother's soda was. So we asked her if we could look at the rooms available at her location. We were so glad we did! The rate was awesome and so were the rooms.
The first picture is of our room. Usually they have bird shaped towels on the beds as in the bottom half of the picture but I guess we checked in too soon. Oh well the room was awesome. It had a sort of vaulted ceiling which made the room seem bigger. The room could actually be split between four people. The rooms on the top floor were rooms with private baths and the bottom floor was rooms with shared bath. The hostel or cabinas included breakfast in the morning. We only partook of this once because you had to sign up for your choice by 8pm & we forgot.
Second picture is the front of the hostel. From what I hear, hostels in Costa Rica are a lot cleaner and nicer than in Europe. Which was beneficial to us. The name of this place was Cabinas el Pueblo. It was run by a very nice married couple, both Ticos. The lady helped us to decide which adventures to go on , the time and what order. It worked out perfectly with the weather.
