The hotel was nice and clean and the staff was very helpful and kind. We used the restaurant for dinner because of bad weather and it was very nice and the food quite good, and so was the included breakfast. The setting over a stream is lovely and we were able to bird watch from the restaurant

Nothing!

Very conveniently situated near the centre of La Fortuna. Next to river and small wildlife area where we saw iguanas, otters, sloth, kingfisher, humming birds, vulture and more! Nice restaurant on site.

Loved everything about this hotel. Location was perfect - walkable to food and activities, yet we felt like we were in the rainforest. Free breakfast was excellent, rooms were comfortable and clean, and staff were friendly and helpful. We couldn't have asked for more - thank you!!

La Fortuna streets and traffic are tough to deal with.

Excellent breakfast (free) and great evening meal and drinks (great value and service). Very nice and safe room with good AC and everything else that you need, Great info from servers and office staff. I highly recommend the float trip on a raft (you will paddle some) with Canoa Aventura Tour Operators. Excellent bilingual drivers and guides including a complimentary coffee and chocolate presentation at the end with drinks.

Sketchy person going around the parking lot during dark with flashlight looking in our vehicle. Told staff. Next morning awoke and all was ok with our vehicle.

Beautiful setting downtown. Well groomed property. Nice room with a balcony facing Arenal volcano. Beautiful breakfast served outdoors. Nice pool.

Perfect location with enchanting setting. The on site restaurant offered cafe latte, cold and hot. Breakfast was delicious and healthy/ vegetarian options were available. We strongly recommend this place. Perfect balance between price value.

I loved everything. Thank you

Amazing stay at Monte real! The staff were very kind and helpful. Facilities were great. Bed was nice and extremely big and fluffy pillows. Best shower I had the whole time in costa rica. walking distance to everything. Best part was all the wildlife we saw around the hotel. there were two sloths in the trees over the river, river otters catching fish, so many birds. We saw more animals around the hotel than we did on tours. 10/10 recommend

We were expecting a double rather than twin beds but they were both very roomy.

Fantastic central location. Warm welcome and very helpful with trip bookings etc. Restaurant beautifully situated overlooking river and great breakfasts.

Lovely hotel in La Fortuna. It is a quiet part of town, but walking distance to the centre and all the restaurants. Garden with lots of plants and birds, and close to the river.

Breakfast was very good.

Seemed a little expensive, but for the most part matched the prices around town for similar properties

Great location. They have a river behind the hotel that you can watch while eating breakfast and there were otters playing in the river. The breakfast was really good and the staff were super helpful and nice. Also there’s a great Argentine empanada place just across the street.

Breakfast wasn't very good, slow WiFi connection at times so not ideal if working remotely.

Great central location, but still near nature and greenery. Kind staff, excellent daily room cleaning.

Septic tank odor in the bathroom :(

Perfect location, within walking distance of the main square, restaurants and shops. We loved eating breakfast near the small river and saw otters and several types of birds.

Nothing, all was nice.

Large and comfortable rooms, very peaceful with the creek running right past, with lots of birds and even a sloth right next to our room!

Literally nothing. Everything was great

Literally everything. The position is right in city centre of La Fortuna. The facilities are new. Breakfast included was super and the restaurant by the river was the bonus we did not expect. The staff were super nice and helpful: they showed us a baby sloth sleeping on the tree.
