Great place to stay. Staff was great. Breakfast, lunch and dinner at anytime. Beer was plentiful, pool was relaxing. Lush green bright and vivid landscaping adorn the patio area. 4 hammocks to sit back and relax in

We came across this hotel by accident and in hindsight were very glad we did! The rates were Very affordable ($18 per person and included breakfast) the rooms were very clean and the property was beautifully maintained. The family who runs it were all very friendly and helpful. Comfortable atmosphere. A short walk into "downtown" Tamorindo and an even shorter walk to the ocean. We stayed for three nights and I would stay here again in a heartbeat! It's a great little place!!

After originally trying to book a reservation at Capitan Suizo, my girlfriend and I walked past El Mono Loco and decided to save over $100/night to stay across the street!

El Mono Loco is not flashy, but is clean, comfortable, and well located -- not right in the noisy part of "town" but close enough to walk to everything. A short path walk to the beach for a stroll, and a little out of the way for the rowdy crowd to ruin a relaxing visit.

I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Note: we visited in August (the rainy season) and it didn't rain once in 5 days. We paid $40 for a comfortable double room, and had a pleasant, delicious breakfast each morning. Very nice owners!

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.
