The Mono Azul is decent value and a good family option. Nestled in a tropical garden and decorated throughout in a rainforest theme, rooms are arranged around two pools. Nicer rooms include a TV, air-con units and murals. Double rooms come with two big beds. We love the bamboo memory-foam pillows.
The restaurant serves comfort food like pizzas, fish and chips and house-made meatloaf. Conveniently, the bus to Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio stops right outside the hotel and leaves every 30 minutes between 6am and 6pm.
