We first had our hearts set on staying an the La Fortuna Hotel, but it was full. We found a travel agent in Playa Flamingo who searched for a place for us- and we were amazingly lucky that she found this place. What a find! Perfect- clean, quiet, well located, near the main areas of town but just far away... More

This hotel was fantastic - immaculate, spacious room, beautiful gardens, friendly owners, and a great location. The hotel has a secure parking lot and is close to restaurants and supermarket. We stayed in room #9, had 2 double beds, good shower, fridge, and a great view of the volcano from the balcony. Very comfortable and clean room. We were given... More

Beds where ok. Airco was very noisy. We paid voor a superior room, but there was no view at all. I doubt any of the superior rooms have a view of the volcano. The swimming pool is very shallow. You can hear noise from the street / music from a nearby location. The place is clean, but not worth the... More

We stayed at The Hotel Monte Real on the 2nd leg of our Costa Rica adventure. We stayed in a Junior Suite as it is called and were pleasantly surprised. The owner is very friendly and helpful to advising on local destinations. The room was spacious, had all the amenities advertised and was super clean. We also very much enjoyed... More

Located just a couple of blocks from the main town square, yet nestled in a residential neighborhood. An easy walk to many nice restaurant. I felt safe and enjoyed both the excellent view of the Arenal Volcano and the sound of water rushing in the nearby river. The pool is pleasant, the place is clean all around, and the staff... More

We stayed for a couple of nights in early December and found the budget room that we booked to be spacious and with a TV and fridge as well as having an outdoor seating area with a couple of chairs and a table. The room was nice enough, quite basic but clean, and the people that ran the place were... More

We had a nice stay at the Monte Real. We arrived on a rainy, cloudy day, so we didn't know until the next day that our room had a beautiful view of the volcano. The hotel is right in town and easily within walking distance of everything in the nice little town of La Fortuna. The hotel appears to be... More

After the miles of squat concrete slabs that characterize San Jose's skyline, the bright yellow and red buildings that make up the Monte Real were a cheerful welcome to La Fortuna. The grounds are immaculate, and internet is free at the front office (I didn't try to connect to the the wireless, but I believe it is available). We took... More
