We spend 6 night at El Mono Loco and we cannot wait to be back. The hotel is beautiful and the room are always clean. The staff is very pleasant and helpful , and the kitchen offer good food for breakfast lunch and dinner. The price are very honest , it is a very good option in Tamarindo. More

We enjoyed our stay. Less expensive than most places in Tamarindo. It was quiet and clean. A bit of a walk to town, probably 5 minutes. Nice pool, and a few birds in cages that make beautiful sounds. More

This hotel has a great location. You are only feet away from the beach, yet walking distance from town. I went for a jog on the beach in the morning, walked to all of the shops in the afternoon, ate lunch, and then spent time down at the beach. We come back to the hotel in the evenings and enjoied...

The landscaping in the hotel is very nice (it doesn't look like anything special from the outside though, but that didn't matter to us). The room had high ceilings, decent bathroom, and ac. Everything was clean. No TV. At $60 a night it was too pricey for basic ammenities. We really liked Villas Macondo and it was cheaper. More

El Mono Loco is the best hotel in Tamarindo. Comfortable beds, hot showers, cold AC, great hammocks, EXCELLENT FOOD, colorful vegetation, close to the beach, great people.
