Wonderful stay that exceeded my expectations. The hotel is situated on a small deadend street which was very quiet, but only a 2 block walk from town. Angela and Armando were charming and thoughtful hosts who made sure I felt welcomed and taken care of. The room was clean and comfortable and the outdoor space spacious and comfortable even during the rainstorms. The evening walks with Armando to spot wildlife were incredible!

The location was everything. Very close to the main town and to the tours we had booked. Our hosts were very attentive and saw that all our requests were treated to promptly. Due to the weather, we weren’t fortunate enough to see the entire volcano but next time!!!!

We had a great time at Monara! Angela greeted us and was very friendly. In the evening, her husband Armando took us to explore the jungle area behind the sister hotel Xilopalo and he enthusiastically showed us different types of frogs and other night wildlife. The room was really clean with lots of places to store our things. It was very clean. The highlight was the massive balcony that had comfortable outdoor couches and a whole kitchenette-like area with a fridge, a coffee maker, cutlery etc., in addition to incredible views of the volcano and opportunities to watch the birds. Seeing toucans from our balcony was a highlight of our stay for sure. Overall, it made such a difference to come home to a really comfortable space each evening after days full of activities. Very easy to walk around town from this location but down a side street so still quieter. I have to give an honourable mention to the staff at the front desk who were super helpful and saved our trip many times over as they were able to make calls and get tickets for activities like the hanging bridges and certain hot springs that seemed to be sold out online. You can also drop off your laundry there and they have it done for you for a decent price. We were very grateful for all their help.
There really isn’t anything except maybe more than one luggage rack so we could each have a place for our suitcase.

Our stay at Arenal Monara exceeded all of our expectations. Everything from the room to the location is just as described, and there’s a bigger hotel called Xilopalo just down the driveway that offers organized tours and a delicious and affordable breakfast.
The absolute highlight of our stay was the amazing hosts. Angela and Armando are the sweetest humans, and so welcoming. In the first night, Armando offered a free tour around the property to show us all the wildlife (frogs, spiders, etc). Armando also leads the sloth watching tour which is incredible! When one of the members of our group was sick, both Angela and Armando helped tremendously, no questions asked. We felt right at home, thank you so much Angela and Armando!
