Rustic gem hidden im the rainforest
We stayed in this hidden gem for 2 nights with another couple. We rented a Superior Villa with a kitchenette and 2 bedrooms but upon arriving we were surprised to see that it was a lot smaller than the photos led us to believe. It would be better for a family then 2 couples as the bedroom with the double bed only had a privacy curtain. Both rooms were open above the door so that the AC which is only in the single beds room, could cool the entire villa. We did not eat there, which is good because the kitchen is super small and it would be hard to open the bathroom door if 2 people were sitting at the table. Other than that, this is a great place surrounded by lush rain forest and bordered by a stream with a deck to relax on. We enjoyed the pool and the breakfast was great. Lau, the manager was friendly and did her job well. When we arrived there was a message to WhatsApp her for check-in. I didn't see the wifi password on a sign so I was a bit daunted when my cell comnection wasn't so good. But it all worked out fine. We had a great stay but next time I would rent 2 rooms imstead of sharing.

El Mono Feliz and Dana and Luz were terrific for our last of three areas visited in Costa Rica. Staff was friendly and accomodating, breakfasts were yummy and the pool was refreshing after a sweaty day of hiking. The only drawback was that the room my partner and I stayed in was very small. We were squished in our two bedrooms and the bathroom was the smallest I've seen in all my travels. Also they were right next to the dining area and reception area and morning noise was difficult to sleep through.We did get used to it as there were no other rooms available while we were there. There were lots of fun activities within a short drive of the hotel.

From the moment we arrived at this property, we loved it! Our check-in was very efficient and pleasant. Our room was a little on the "cozy" side for space but more than made up by the outside nature waking up in the morning sounds!!!!! The surrounding area was very nicely laid out and beautiful wildlife you could see come and go. The pool was perfect! The breakfast was so delicious!!! We loved Dana!!! She was so helpful, friendly, professional...I could go on. All the staff was nice. Highly recommend this hotel. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

First of all, Dana and the rest of the staff are amazing! My car battery died the day I was leaving and they were more than helpfull, attentive and supportive while the problem was fixed! The hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of the rainforest... I was lucky to find it! Beautiful wooden cabins, all sorrounded by the forest, where you can spot monkeys and birds in their natural habitat, a creek that runs through the property and so quiet it trully is a little paradise!!! Great breakfast too!! I hope to be back soon!!!

We enjoyed our two night stay at Hotel El Mono Feliz. The property is absolutely beautiful with trees, flowers, hummingbirds, other birds, a lovely pool & a sweet yoga shala by the river. Accommodations include rooms & cabins. We were in a small room with a comfortable bed, nice sheets, good towels, including pool or beach towels. Breakfast is included & is delicious! Lisa, the hostess during our stay, was super friendly, helpful & had great suggestions as to where to go/where to eat.

A lovely little place nestled in the wonderful town of Ojochal. Beautiful setting, quiet, surrounded by nature and beautiful birds that keep you company while you have some great breakfast by Claire. She is the awesome hostess who always greets you with a bright smile and is eager to accommodate and help with any questions or needs. We loved our adorable bungalow which had enough space and amenities for my husband and I. The place is magically beautiful, clean, friendly and kind staff, and a lovely owner. We stayed for a week and enjoyed every day! Will definitely go back!

So glad I answered the call!
Wow-y wow-y wow, wow. Um, for me, it was exactly what I wanted, needed, and more. It was meditative, deep nature, and then opportunity for adventure. Claire made it feel quickly like home with unbelievable breakfasts with hummingbirds and strangers who are friends. Do not come here if a power outage would ruin your trip. Do not come here if you expect a big room (you don't at all need it.) But if you hear your heart pulling you, listen. You will be so glad you did. I will never be able to express all that I got out of my time at el mono feliz. I left feeling like everyone working there is someone I can't wait to get back and see soon. Also I love walking so I had no problem being carless. And jeez leweez it's such a warm generous peaceful culture. Do plan to drop any White colonial cultural norms when you arrive because what you'll experience will prove to you how much better life can be. La Pura Vida!

Stunning natural setting/landscaping but not overly "groomed" or artificial looking. Staff is gracious,attentive, and helpful. Fantastic value. Wonderful that we can eat such a delicious breakfast everyday that just happens to be so healthy. Booking my next stay already!

Beautiful jungle getaway
Hotel El Mono Feliz exceeded our expectations. We loved everything about our stay. The cabin was very clean and charming and the grounds were magnificent. Claire provided exceptional service and recommendations and the daily breakfasts were delicious. We also loved the charming village of Ojochal, especially the restaurants. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you, Claire for an amazing stay.

A Superhost and her name is Claire!
Claire was the best host that we’ve had in our long travels in Costa Rica to date, she even came to pick us up from the bus stop and waited for a long time as our bus had been delayed, she showed us all the eateries during the drive and when we arrived at the hotel, she took the time to give us a glass of cold water, maps and key information. The breakfast options were delicious and I particularly enjoyed the nutritious overnight oats, it’s not something that is readily available in CR so was a wonderful treat. The service she provided was faultless. The grounds were a piece of paradise. We managed to spot some birds that we hadn’t before from our cabin. There was an abundance of birds and butterflies, a peaceful sound of running water from the river and lots of tweeting. Our only regret is that we didn’t spend more time enjoying what Hotel El Mono Feliz had to offer. The room itself was adequate but with lovely touches and very well sealed throughout to stop bugs from getting into the cabin. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone! Thanks all!

The property was A plus all around. The delicious breakfast each morning, the convenient location, the incredible garden, the beautiful pool, our lovely and pristine cabin, the up close birds and monkeys, but what really stood out was the kindness of the two wonderful managers, Mike and Diana. They made our last two days in CR the two best days of our trip. In a country of beautiful people, these two really stood out!
