Average Stay

Breakfast was enjoyable, and the restaurant staff were friendly and polite. However, the hotel room and grounds could benefit from some well needed updates to enhance the overall guest experience.

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.

Convenient and comfortable

A nice convenient stay near the centre of La Fortuna. Easily walkable to shops and restaurants. Beds were comfy and clean and the staff were all very helpful. The restaurant for breakfast was in a lovely spot! The hotel feels a little dated but that had no impact on our comfort or experience.

A very comfortable and affordable stay. Rooms were clean, breakfast was nice, and the parking area was easy to use. I'd suggest this location if you would like an affordable place to sleep, but not necessarily somewhere to lounge all day (as the pool is very small).

I would absolutely recommend staying at this hotel. I felt incredibly safe, especially as a solo female traveller. 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!
