A friend and I stayed at the El Mono Feliz in Ojochal for three weeks. Otto and Anja were very welcoming and knowledgeable about everything to do with the area. Lovely grounds with many flowers and wildlife, watching colourful birds feeding close by while having breakfast each morning. We used El Mono Feliz as our base camp to explore the... More

We had planned on spending the second half of our trip at this B&B, but after a long drive from Arenal we arrived around nightfall to find out neither of our 2 gps (one iphone and one from the car rental agency) could locate this hotel. There are a few signs telling you when to turn off, but after you... More

Hotel El Mono Feliz is not right away at the noisy highway, but calm and quiet situated 300 meters north of the centre of the village of Ojochal. Seven (7) signs along the road will show you the way to the hotel. At the entrance of Ojochal is a ground-plan of Ojochal, were you also can find the direction of... More

We weren't expecting much considering the lack of available information and the few reviews. This is a quirky gem of an intimate bed and breakfast. We stayed in a two person bungalow and it had everything that we needed. The property is naturally beautiful with landscaping touches that added to the appeal. The biggest surprise was the delightful swimming pool.... More

I stayed with my sister for two nights at El Mono Feliz, and we were happily surprise by a perfectly well kept b&b. The owners were very kind and accommodated our every need. Thank you very very much for your hospitality and for showing me the wonderful Ylang Ylang flower!

I love this place! Tucked away in a quiet location, El Mono Feliz provided a perfect getaway…we saw beautiful butterflies at breakfast and then down by the river. The owners treated us like family. I’m looking forward to going back!

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.
