Kees
Your hosts, Kees and Griselda, welcome you to Monte Terras and to beautiful Costa Rica. The charming spacious home, overlooking Lake Arenal and has a spectacular view on Arenal Volcano. You can admire the lake view, while enjoying a nice home cooked meal in our Rancho. Also the large saltwater pool provides a beautiful view over the lake. We are a family friendly hotel and provide a trampoline and a baby pool for the little ones. The cabinas are built in the back of the garden, where it’s nice and quiet. The lovely garden view and tranquil setting make it the perfect place for people who want to relax and enjoy nature. You can spot monkeys, toucans, and hummingbirds from your veranda at the room. We are famous for our breakfast that we deliver to your cabina (optional). Pets are allowed and we provide laundry service, baggage storage and private parking. We can also help you with travel questions, not just for the Tilaran and Lake Arenal area, also for the rest of Costa Rica. We also run a travel agency, so you can benefit from our knowledge of Costa Rica. We hopefully see you soon in Tilaran, Costa Rica!
Owner Kees toured around Costa Rica in 2004 when the area of Lake Arenal give him a very good feeling. The area is characterized by fantastic nature and a moderate climate. The feeling about this area did not go away when he was back home in The Netherlands. Within a year he decided to migrate to Costa Rica! He started his Monte Terras in Tronadora, Tilaran, Costa Rica. With his passions nature and crafts (hobby furniture maker) he soon felt at home. In 2009 he met his wife Griselda, together they have further expanded the hotel into what it is today. Kees is also running a travel agency and guests of Monte Terras can benefit from the extensive knowledge that Kees has about Costa Rica; he is always welcome to help!
We are located in the small town of Tronadora right next to Lake Arenal. No mass tourism here; it is nice and quiet. We are centrally located from Costa Rica highlights as: Monteverde Cloud Forest, Rincon de la Vieja volcano, Rio Celeste and Tenorio volcano, Arenal volcano, several hot springs, and of course Lake Arenal itself. Lake Arenal offers many water activities that are fun for both children as adults.
