The Arco Iris is right in the tiny town of Santa Elena but it's set up on a hillside so there's lots of greenery. Decent view too. There are a number of small cabins around the grounds...some duplexes, some singles, some quads. Our room had 1 double bed and 1 single, private bathroom. The room was fairly spacious, lighting good, lots of windows, clean. Bathroom was clean but pretty small. Great hot water and lots of pressure. There are no window screens on the windows but we didn't have a problem with bugs. It does get a bit cool at night and there is no heat in the rooms. Staff is friendly and helpful. We paid $55US/night for the room (plus taxes) but if you pay cash you get an additional discount. Breakfast is not included but you can pay $6.50 for the buffet breakfast. A little pricey but delicious!!! Homemade breads and jams, gallo pinto, sausages, eggs, fresh fruit...mmmm. We took the guided hike of Monteverde booked through the hotel and the guide they use, Adrian, was fantastic. Had a really great time. Good value for the money.
