We stayed three nights at El Mono Feliz. Two in one of their cabañas and one night in a standard room. The cabaña was great, the standard room not so much. The grounds are lovely and the pool was nice and warm.

This little hotel is situated in Ojochal, a little and friendly village. I stayed here for a couple of days and enjoyed it very much. I stayed in one of the rooms. This room was simple but nice. The hosts, a dutch couple, are friendly, courteous and very helpful. The breakfast is not included. If you dont have a car... More

We stayed in Mono feliz during our round trip. We really liked it there. We were impressed by the cabina, but also by the breakfast and the warm welcome we had from the owners, Anja and Otto. We recommand this place to everyone! It may not be in a jungle, but you can see lots of nature around. We saw... More

We totally enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We were welcomed warmly and given a great overview of the area by the owner. We stayed in the smallest room they offer. It was small, but clean, and a great bargain. The bathroom was a nice size. The grounds are quite lovely with lots of flowering plants and even a river.... More

We visited this hotel during our round trip through Costa Rica. This was the only hotel we did not really like. The owners, a Dutch couple don't seem to enjoy to have a hotel and guests. It seems like its only business for them which makes the atmosphere not as friendly as we hoped it would be. A simple example:... More

Words cannot describe the warm and wonderful service provided by Anja and Otta at El Mono Feliz. We were so impressed by the landscaping, the breakfast, the cleaning staff and all that the area offered on our stay. Anja and Otto have it all covered from the first email to the final goodbye, answering every question and going above and... More

We enjoyed our stay in Ojochal and the El Mono Feliz. Unlike the preceding reviewer we were happy there.... (One has to wonder why that person was expecting to be in a lush jungle on the coast of Costa Rica in that area? A minimum of reading and preparation would have been necessary..... also it's not a residential area by... More

El Mono Feliz is in a rural area. Orochal is not a village in the sense North Americans would expect it to be..... You won't find a village square, church, clumps of houses, etc, etc, so I disagree with the last review. It's a few dirt roads with nice restaurants, shops, and hotels. We really liked our stay here, the... More

after a long plane ride and drive, finally got to el mono feliz and was very disappointed. on their site, it looks like the hotel's in the middle of a lush jungle, but it's not. It's in a residential area that's not super green or lush. i was so sad. the owners are super nice and they have a really... More

Yes, we have 5 smaller and so cheaper rooms, some of them with airconditioning. But we also do have 3 spacious apartments (cabañas) in our backyard in the shade of big palmtrees. In that same backyard are more big trees and our guests have seen there monkeys, tucans, nose-bears, ant-eaters, turtles, even a small cocodrile and a snake of 10... More
