Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property is beautiful in a very quiet and peaceful area. Not much in terms of facilities, they only had a jacuzzi. Beautiful rooms but the floors were much to loud, even when walking barefoot. No AC but it was cool enough to need it. No TV in room so if If you’re not looking for seclusion and connection with your travel partner, this property is not for you. I was traveling with my parents and reserved for 3, they were not crazy about it.

Great place to stay

Lovely hotel in a great setting with very comfortable rooms . My only criticism would be the lack of interest at breakfast from the staff who were more interested in chatting or being on their phones than paying attention to customers which was a real shame as the food was lovely

Hotel Belmar was magnificent! Everything about it was pristine. The service was so friendly. Staff were so genuinely kind, helpful, & welcoming. They upgraded our room & the view from the balcony was gorgeous. I really cant say enough great things about this place. We ate at the restaurants & everything was delicious. Location was perfect to the cloud forest reserve.

We had the best time for our honeymoon at Hotel Belmar! They treated us whenever they could. The staff were so friendly and helpful at every turn and every member of staff seemed to know everyone's name. We took advantage of the onsite experiences by having a couple's massage, doing the night walk, swimming in the lake, using the whirlpool, free beer tasting and excellent food from the restaurant.

This was a beautiful home away from home. It’s a little outside of town so you definitely need a car to stay there. They have a cute Brewery on site where they actually brew their own beer as well as as a nice reflection pond. Jacuzzi was not working, which was disappointing. The restaurant was really nice. The food was beautifully presented but a bit expensive for what it was. Overall, the grounds and staff were wonderful.
