I very much enjoyed staying at this hotel. Guest service reserved our tours with pickup and drop off included. The daily breakfast was delicious. There’s a river that runs through the back property and you can take a nice stroll and enjoy the nature. Shopping and restaurant locations were walking distance.

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.

Hotel was clean and located in a great spot in Fortuna. The breakfast was wonderful too!
Lorri, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Leif, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Margaret, 2-night trip
