Everything. The grounds are lovely with casitas situated along garden paths and streams. There are also rooms around the pool that provide more options. The breakfast was delicious. The staff extremely helpul and nice. We enjoyed using the pool after the beach. There's a number of good restaurants nearby. We really loved being there and will definitely be back!

Our 2 bedrooms casitas shared an open space so the sound travels if that is a concern. They would be a bit small for 2 couples to share but are perfect for families or couples that want a bit more space.

The hotel had a lovely garden with a pool and lots of bird-life which made it a very pleasant place to stay. Both the unusual sounds of the Dawn Chorus every day and constant sound of the cicadas - once the day warms up, right through to dusk - will remain in the memory! Jolana who manages the hotel was friendly and gave us some useful tips and also Fred, a great taxi driver, as we didn’t have a car.

We loved the hotel but the location about three kilometres from the main road might be a problem for some and therefore it’s best to have a car although we managed to get by without one e.g The waiter from the Citrus restaurant, located near the main road, kindly ran us back up to the hotel afterwards! The food at Citrus is warmly recommended - photo of my Indian meal below. We’d have to say the room was small and basic too but the jungly location made up for it!

This was the sweetest place we stayed in Costa Rica. Claire is a great born-to-be host! Outgoing, helpful and fun to spend time with. Claire priovided a list of close-by restaurants, which alas we did not have time to experience. She provided fabulous breakfasts; her finely landscaped property was abundant with flowers, fruits birds, and monkeys. The cabins were adorable with a comfortable bed, well-appointed kitchen and hot shower. Definitely would return to Hotel El Mono Feliz!

Loved loved everything about Hotel El Mono Feliz!

excellent breakfast Congenial staff small but comfortable rooms

rooms somewhat dark but need to cut some vegetation for more light somewhat more open lawn for birdwatching

Breakfast was superb as was the pool that we had to ourselves. Plus the best two restaurants in the country are just down the road.

The bar next to the property was a tad loud but the live music stopped at 9 pm

breakfast was very good. Girl running the kitchen came in an hour early to give me breakfast and coffee as I had an early departure. Nice pool. Room small but clean and comfortable.

Good breakfast and lovely staff. Peaceful atmosphere. They have board games and books.

The pool water made my hair feel sticky.

Room was comfortable, clean, and tastefully decorated. Pool was exceptionally clean and nice for swimming. Breakfast was good, offering several choices.

Breakfast was great with fresh fruits and a few choices. The pool was nice, and the property was beautiful and full of vegetations and birds. Good restaurants nearby.

The room is pretty small and doesn’t have a comfortable place to sit indoors except for two dining chairs (there is a better outdoors sitting, but it isn't useful when it rains). Most of the things to do in the area are close to Uvita. This means you need to drive 15+ minutes every time.

beautiful gardens, surrounded by nature. fabulous breakfasts prepared by Claire who was helpful, informative and enthusiastic. comfortable beds and peaceful nights.

nothing we didn’t like, it was all good.
