Never judge a book by its cover! Completely unassuming exterior that hides a stunning location with a wonderful hostess. Room was clean and modern, outside kitchenette a sheer joy with amazing view of Arenal volcano. Throw in a free night walk around the gardens, 5 minutes walk from the main strip in La Fortuna - book this early to avoid missing out

The Arenal Monara is a real hidden gem. The apartment is very clean, comfortable and luxurious, with a nice bathroom, extremely comfortable bed, and a little kitchenette on the deck, where you can sit back and enjoy an excellent view of Arenal volcano from comfortable chairs. Angela and Armando were great hosts and offered complementary evening tour, where we saw frogs and lizards and bats. The Hotel Arenal Xilopalo next door is associated with this property and provides a swimming pool and a great restaurant for breakfast or dinner. The Arenal Monara is centrally located in the really nice town of La Fortuna, and is close to lots of great restaurants and other amenities.

Great location, great room, v comfy bed and great value. We had only just got off the minibus when Angela came out and greeted us and showed us around - even pointing out a toucan. We did the free night walk with Armando and saw as much in 20 mins as we did in 2 hours on the night walk at the Arenal Oasis eco lodge. We also did the sloth tour with Armando which i would also recommend.

We had a warm welcome in Arenal Monara ! Angela and Armando are great hosts and have excellent attention to detail! The room is spacious, clean and new build! Everything was modern and well designed. Beds were very comfortable, the shower had great pressure and the outdoor area was a bonus with a fantastic view of arenal volcano! The area is very nice surround by forest! Easy to spot birds passing by! Armando took us in a night walk to show some of the wildlife in the gardens! It was fantastic! We highly recommend Arenal Monara and would stay here again! So far our best stay in Costa Rica!

This property was absolutely stunning, we went on a small on property tour with Armando, he showed us poison dart frogs, snakes, birds, lizards and other wildlife just on the property. The view from the balcony in the morning when we woke up was beautiful with the mountain in the background, the room was clean, patio was amazing, air conditioning works perfectly I cannot recommend this place enough.

Angela and Armando were wonderful hosts. Angela provided exceptional hospitality, and Armando displayed his remarkable skills in showing us the wildlife around the hotel and La Fortuna area. I would love to stay here again. The rooms are still very new and modern. Best rest I had during my trip to Costa Rica.

After traveling two weeks in Costa Rica this boutique hotel exceeded our expectations! The owners were personable and caring and ensured our stay was amazing. The shared facilities with the neighboring hotel (pool, breakfast area) were among the best we've seen or experienced. The quality of the place itself was wonderful - the attention to detail in this new space showed great love and care. The view of the volcano from our deck (through the clouds) was so cool, and being treated to a free night walk near the property to see frogs and lizards was over the top hospitality. My spouse and I highly recommend!

This place this better than amazing! My husband and I stayed here for 9 days as part of our anniversary trip and Arenal Monara has been the absolute best place we have ever staying in our years of vacationing! Angela and Armando will forever hold a special place in our hearts! I'll start with the modern, extremely clean and spacious room with a beautiful outdoor balcony that has a stunning view of the Arenal Volcano (when the weather cooperates). The property is nestled in a peaceful corner of the town where your view from the balcony looks out into pure nature. It feels like you have your own piece of paradise but are still in very walkable distance to the main parts of town as well as several delicious restaurants. Next, the sister hotel next door (Xilopalo) has a great partnership with Arenal Monara and was very helpful in booking several excursions/tours for us during our stay in La Fortuna. We highly recommend the Sloth tour with Armando. He has an amazing eye for spotting sloths. We even saw a baby sloth on our tour! Finally and most importantly, the gracious hospitality we received from Angela and Armando was extraordinary! There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe how kind they are! Starting with night tour where we saw so many amazing creatures to their willingness to help with any questions or assistance we needed. They honestly made you feel like you were a part of their family. My husband and I will truly miss Angela, Armando and Arenal Monara!

Perfekt utgångsläge för att göra utflykter.

Rummet kändes helt nytt, otroligt fräscht och fint! Balkong med vask och kylskåp. Fin dusch med bra tryck. Poolen ligger på andra sidan innergården vilket inte var själklart att se på bilderna. Myclet barn med tanke på att det numera är ett barnfritt hotell, men det störde inte oss då vi själv har barn. Restaurangen erbjöd den bästa maten vi ätit i Costa Rica. Helt fantastisk service, både vid frukost och middag.
