Hip. Helpful. Happy.

Pension Santa Elena, in Monteverde, is THE place for the budget traveler backpacker. This Monteverde hotel staff is famous world-wide for their accommodating, effective advice. From booking activities to arranging even the most complex transportation…. from “what should I wear…boots or sandals?” to “is this really all it says it is?”….the staff at The Pension has got you covered.

The common room is always humming with an assortment of laid-back, smiling travelers. Bohemic artwork and murals cover the walls. One chalk-scrawled wall acts as a canvas for poems, old school movie quotes, or traveler inspired songs. The rooms are very clean and simple. Wi-Fi and computers are available.

If you get a hankering for a burrito, The Pension’s Taco Taco stand has the cheapest & tastiest food in Santa Elena. Eat your quesadilla and lounge in the sun-drenched hammock.

Don’t forget to introduce yourself to Ran & Shannon, the brother-sister tag team that own & operate The Pension.

Good food, good folks, good trip. Have fun! at the coolest Monteverde Hotel.
