    A Paradise Garden Lodging Experience
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Family Studio
    • Stayed 1 night

    My son sleeps very hot and the weather was warm so he found it hard to sleep. The other 3 of us were just fine with the really strong fans circulating the air. (For context my son sleeps with a fan blowing directly on him even in winter, so this is definitely a him problem, but he could have used his own fan.)

    The property was beautiful and as a bonus we got to sloths and porcupines sleeping in the trees, toucans and other birds flying around and perching, and cute little lizards-it was like being on a nature preserve! My son appreciated having enough space to practice throwing his baseball around. The room was lovely, especially all the fine woodworking. The kitchen was well appointed for making a simple dinner and it was nice to enjoy our breakfast out on the patio. The pool is amazing, long and deep enough to do some real swimming, and there is also a shallow kiddie pool. The hosts were friendly and helpful and made an incredible breakfast.

    Friendly welcoming host, great location peaceful with views of Lake from pool area. Comfortable, clean , tastefully furnished and very well equipped cabin. Tasty home cooked breakfast, pancakes, gallo pinto and fresh fruit delivered to room. A hidden gem. Great stop between La Fortuna and Monteverde

    There was nothing we didn’t like.

    Monte Terras is an amazing place that is much more than somewhere to sleep for the night. On arrival you will be greeted by Kees, the owner and visionary of this beautiful property. Once you stand at the top of the hill with the wind whipping through your hair looking out over the sparkling surface of Lake Arenal then everything will be clear.

    The room was spacious and nice. It is located in between a couple of amazing sightseeing spots and is great to use as a base camp. Kees, the owner, is really helpful and friendly. Even before the trip he helped us a lot with putting our trip together. And when a sloth was in the yard of the hotel, he came to show us.

    Good Breakfast was amazing and hand delivered. Like the Finn pancakes I'm used to back home none of that fluffy garbage. View was incredible Host was awesome Room was acceptably sized Clean upon entry Nice little patio to sit Relatively quiet location aside from the wind (which I was there for) Close enough to restaurants but I would suggest a car Pool area seemed nice and was sheltered from the wind Trampoline if you have kids

    Each cabin has 2 spacious rooms. Kitchen with coffee maker and coffee! Sitting table inside and outside. Very comfortable bed and hot water all the time. Internet was the fastest I had in CR. It’s relaxing and I have seen monkeys, toucans, squirrels and many smaller creatures while walking around. Breakfast is yummy and very big. I recommend the traditional CR. Small village is 10min walk with small shops, tiny bakery and local restaurant. You can see the volcano Arenal from the pool area. The pool is separated from the accommodation which is great because you need 2 min to get there but you you also relax in the garden. The owner drove me to the airport and made sure I’m ok. It’s family business and I loved every minute I spent there.
