Basic, well managed property, clean and away from the noise of the main avenue. It has a nice nature walk in the back which was a plus. The restaurant could be better, in fact I noticed this everywhere I stayed and ate in CR, a major disappointment as far as the cuisine. I get better CR food in Queens NY.

Nice simple clean hotel!

I really enjoyed sitting on the little patio outside my room to have a snack or have a drink. I looked at beautiful flowers in that setting.

The staff are nice and helpful. Check-in was easy and pleasant.


The best thing about this hotel is breakfast. You can choose from about 6 hot meals and you get a plate of fruit (or many plates) and coffee. They have an entirely vegan hot meal, which was great for us.

Monte Real is a pleasant little compound that offers rest amid the touristy hub of La Fortuna. The breakfast is good - and, like us, you'll probably see a sloth in the branches above if you look carefully enough - and the rooms are pleasant. The pool and frog garden offer diversions if you are tired of all the driving. A good place.

The rooms are cleaned spotless every day, and the included breakfast is wonderful, special shout out to Carbin for providing excellent service. The pool area is intimate and the entire hotel is immersed within the rainforest with beautiful greenery everywhere and has a river flowing and garden attached to the property that served as a beautiful morning stroll for me. I would return if visiting La fortuna again. Thank you!

Great hotel right in town with a secure parking lot. Tons of dining options all within 5 minutes or less walking. The hotel also has a great restaurant with breakfast included. Luis was a joy every morning and ready with cocktails in the evening. The staff were wonderful, and helped set up reservations for excursions. A frog garden is located in the back of the hotel along the river, where we found some beautiful tree frogs. Only downside was our shower didn’t drain well. Other than that, no complaints!

We found our 2 night stay perfect for the location and proximity to the attractions we were headed too. The free breakfast included was a great touch and plenty of restaurants to walk too nearby. Quiet hotel for being on a main road and security onsite after hours.

Excellent Value and Quality

We had an amazing time at this hotel. It was clean, well maintained and safe. The staff were very generous and let us check in early since the room was ready. The breakfast was cooked to order and very good. The restaurant had a beautiful view and we saw many animals down by the river in the gardens. The location was perfect - very close to the Parque Central, restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacy and anything else you could possibly need. They also have an ice machine! The only issue was that the wifi was quite slow at times. 10/10 would recommend ;)

Great Hotel!

Loved my stay at the Monte Real. Perfect walking distance to the town square, but not too close to be loud at night. Right next to a river that has beautiful birds visiting every morning. The pool was great and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!

All facilities in hotel were good. Staff from reception being helpful in every respect to maid service being really good.
One suggestion would be to install a grab bar in shower area for safety
Free breakfast was ok but dinner at night was excellent.

A great place to stay. A big plus is the little river right beside the restaurant and sitting areas. The river was scenic and relaxing to listen to and provided wildlife sightings. Tiger herons, toucans, parrots, big King Fishers, two otters and several huge green iguanas, a mother sloth and her baby were all on the beautiful grounds of this hotel.
The restaurant at the hotel is right beside the river; a wonderful place to eat. Besides the good breakfast which was included; the restaurant was also open for lunch and dinner. It was closed on Tuesday for lunch and dinner when we were there but I am not sure if this is a regular closure. We appreciated having the restaurant on site when it was pouring rain as we did not have a car. Even though there were several restaurants close by we did not want to get wet. The staff in the restaurant was wonderful; they were always looking for wildlife to show you. Location is great, close to everything. The easy hop shuttle stops right in front of the hotel.
We had a junior suite with 1 king bed and while our room had a great view of the volcano it did not have an outdoor sitting area like most other rooms. The sitting area was inside and even though there were huge sliding doors to open I prefer to actually sit outside. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and it is amazing just to see all the vegetation. We loved our stay here!

Lovely small property, super clean and well cared for. Breakfast included which was from a full menu and delicious coffee. Modern decor in room, very spacious bathroom and shower. King bed which was average in terms of comfort. Walking distance to many restaurants and short drive to many attractions. We really enjoyed our 3 night stay!

The room was great . The hotel
Is at a high traffic street , but in Tbe room in Tbe back we did not hear the noise . The pool is refreshing , not too big, but was ok . It is a great base to go for explorations from . Reception was very helpful with organizing excursions. Best massage ever just minutes away in Venus spa in a small shopping mall around the corner. Don Rufino great restaurant 3 minutes walk.

Really nice property located right in the middle of the town. You can walk anywhere, for supper or shopping. The rooms are ok and clean. Some rooms, like the one we stayed in, have a view of the Arenal volcano. Excellent breakfast. Check the back of the property for wildlife.

Great facilities, super-helpful friendly staff

Overall Monte Real hotel got everything right. The room was comfortable with a balcony and view over garden and endless bird visitors. Breakfast was sited next to the river with otter, herons, squirrels in residence. There was a wildlife garden by the river where frogs could be sighted. The staff were super friendly and very helpful

The room was very basic but clean. Although the bed I had was not as comfortable as I had hoped. And the twin bed I had for my daughter was hard as a rock so she ended up sleeping with me. But the pool was lovely and it was a minute’s walk into town. Lots of food nearby and also at this hotel.

Good value with pool

We stayed here for two nights as part of a longer trip. The location is convenient enough to walk to a number of restaurants (also restaurant on site). Parking was included and inside the hotel property. Pool was a nice amenity. Room was comfortable and quiet with clean sheets and towels and bathrooms.

Little slice of heaven

This was such a nice hotel. We had a comfortable room with a fantastic view of Arenal. The pool was nice to cool off in. We walked the paths along the stream and saw pretty flowers and birds - toucans! We enjoyed dining to the sound of the running stream. The included breakfast was amazing! The staff is so friendly and helpful with everything! Luis became our best amigo! Just a happy nice guy who made us feel like family! My son left his sweatshirt behind and when I called a day later they had it! Honestly I will stay here again. It is t fancy but it’s perfect and you can walk to anything downtown. Great location!

This hotel is like a little haven within the downtown area. You drive through the gates and it is like you are in another place. Our hotel room was very clean. Immediately outside our room was the tree frog garden with many lovely flowers and plants. There is a lovely stream running through the garden, which creates a peaceful, calming sound. There are bird songs all around; not much sound from cars, etc. I even did a Zoom call from our balcony with no interruptions (with our cellular data).

Outstanding Hotel In The Heart Of La Fortuna

Outstanding stay. Plenty of parking, exceptionally maintained grounds, clean and spacious rooms. There is a small restaurant on site overlooking the river (or you can easily walk to most La Fortuna locations). We ate a light dinner there and watched parrots and toucans land near the river. There was a sloth on site as well. We did not see monkeys or otters, but we were told they often make an appearance. We were able to check in early and the service was outstanding.
