“Amazing views, very quiet and comfortable place, incredible staff (Kees and Griselda).”
From there, the view of the Arenal Volcano and the Arenal Lake was amazing. The pool was a very nice addition. The silence around is breathtaking. Kees and Griselda were incredible hosts. I would recommend Monte Terras place without hesitation. I want to visit them again, along with my daughters, as soon as possible!

“A nice, relaxing stay.”
A small house with a terrace all to yourself. With all kinds of animals in the garden. Such as a howler monkey, toucan, and sloth. A nice swimming pool with a beautiful view of the lake and the volcano. Every morning a delicious breakfast with a wide selection.

“Exceptional Accommodation, Service,Facilities and Views !!”
Our spacious, very clean and well equipped apartment had a great kitchen with toaster, coffee maker, microwave and blender. Very quiet setting with large patio, table and chairs. Our favourite pastim was swimming in a long rectangular lap swimming pool wiit panaramic views of Lake Arenal and the Arenal Volcano. Our hosts Kees and Griselda were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of the various restaurants, cafes and mini supermarkets in the Town of Tronadora that were only a short 5-10 minute walk away. The exceptional full hot breakfast was delicious and included scrambled eggs, ham fresh fruit and amazing home made pancakes 🥞 delivered to our apartment each morning . Kees and Grizelda went out of their way to make our stay there as enjoyable as possible.

“Great place, amazing view and super kind hosts”
Lovely stay! The cabins were really cute and we enjoyed the garden with its sloth and porcupine. Great and large swimming pool too. Our host was not only warm and nice but also super helpful when we had car trouble - really went out of their way to assist us. Would definitely recommend!

“Nice stay”
This is well-located for a stop on the way from Liberia to La Fortuna. We were given a nice welcome and enjoyed our 'pannekoeken' and fruit for breakfast! Keep an eye out for toucans in the trees, we saw lots! The pool is nice and refreshing, and there's a great view of the lake.

“Great place with great view, and great breakfirst!”
Great place with great view! Kees is such a nice host and he gave us a lot of advise. We were so lucky to see the Toucans right above the roof! Should've booked for one more night!

“Relaxing, beautiful, and comfortable.”
The property was beautiful and our host was so nice pointing out a sloth in the tree in the morning as well as a toucan. There were two swings our kids loved and the breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We highly recommend this property especially to families.

“Amazing!”
10/10! We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Monte Terras. We were very friendly welcomed by Cees and Griselda. The cabins are very spacious, clean, good hot shower and good working WiFi. The cabin is also equipped with everything you need and the swimming pool is really big and well maintained! Cees and Griselda really made us feel welcome and are the best hosts! The breakfast they offer is delicious, don't forget to take Cees his Dutch pancakes. Griselda also offers (therapeutic) massages. She is a real professional and I couldn't have wished for a better massage. Highly recommend her affordable massage service!

The location had a beautiful view and we could walk into the quaint little nearby town for some food. The owner was super friendly and eager to help. Breakfast was good and served directly to your room. Very large rooms fully equipped. The terrace overhanging the cabins were nice and the mountain view was very peaceful. In general, the cabins had a comfortable feel but aspects of the room needed some attention.

Loved the pool, the view, the hosts. Kees and his wife were so helpful and helped us out with lots of different things. Tronadora is quiet but authentic - we had a great meal at Don’Liz.
