The Monkey Studio is part of a cute little independent casita next to the main house and is which is made up of 2 stand alone studio apartments - the Monkey Studio and the Iguana Studio. Each studio occupies half of the casita and each has its own private entrance, kitchenette, bathroom and balcony. Both are nestled beneath the jungle canopy and directly below an active monkey trail! Be ready to see families of monkeys daily while lying in bed and from your balcony!! The Monkey Studio is recently remodeling studio at the Tamarindo Mountain Retreat and is set apart from the main house on the property. It has its own private entrance, lots of windows and includes a private balcony with tropical jungle views. The studio includes a comfortable queen bed view a beautiful view of the trees out back and also a great spot to catch the monkeys moving through the trees. Next to the queen bed there is a day bed sofa bed which can be used either as a sitting are and/or for an 3rd guest. The day bed can also be converted into a bunk bed for a 4th guest upon request. The studio also has a small kitchenette with new appliances, table and chairs and a large balcony at the back. The balcony is directly below a tree top monkey trail so frequent monkey sightings are almost guaranteed! Also, a few iguanas visit the property regularly and can be spotted scampering around the lawn and up in the trees! The Tamarindo Mountain Retreat is a nature lodge hidden on a hill top in a tropical paradise with incredible ocean views breathtaking sunsets and only 5 minutes away from the center of Tamarindo and the beach. It also boasts a large shared pool also with ocean views and beautifully nestled in a lush tropical landscape! There are also many different nooks on the grounds with tables, seating, hammocks and such to relax and enjoy. The lodge is made up of a larger main house with 5 bedrooms, 3 studio apartment and a smaller 1 bedroom casita. For larger groups who want sleeping privacy but want to stay together in one location we can help you combine rentals options on the property. All of the rentals combined can sleep up to a maximum of 33 guests. Please inquire for large group packages. We also offer pre-arrival concierge services to help you set up airport shuttles, car rentals, tours & activities, make restaurant recommendations, etc. Just let us know if you’d like help with anything or if you have any questions. ** Please note: Our studios are comfortable and functional but small so instead of crowding them with chairs we provide 2 chairs and a stool which are left on the back patios or area in front of the unit to use inside and/or outside at your discretion. If you would like additional chairs please just let us know. ** In addition to your rental you will have access to all the outdoor common areas, the shared pool and one parking spot in our parking area (if you need additional parking please check with us for availability). I am not on site (but I am usually in the area) however we are available virtually to help during your stay and we also have our caretaker living on site also available to help you with anything. The Tamarindo Mountain Retreat is situated between Tamarindo and Villareal. It is exactly 5km from the center of Tamarindo and the beach and less than 1km away from Villareal, within walking distance. Both towns have restaurants, grocery stores and shops, although Tamarindo is more of a tourist town and Villareal is a more authentic Costa Rican town, both are great and each have their own unique and interesting things to offer. Despite being so close to both towns the Tamarindo Mountain Retreat is set apart in its own tropical and incredibly peaceful oasis. You would never know only minutes away there are two lively towns. It is a fantastic place to relax, unwind and rejuvenate while still having easy access to the hustle and bustle of a town if you feel like checking out the local restaurants, beach or shops. Local buses are very limited here in Costa Rica and we would not recommend them as a way to get around but taxis are readily available for a quick ride into Tamarindo. If you are looking to venture out on tours and activities, in the area, most providers will include round trip transportation. We have an in-house concierge who can help you with transfers, tours, car hire or anything you may need. Just ask, we are happy to help! LAUNDRY - Our guests do not have direct access to our laundry facilities but we do offer a laundry service for $10/load which includes wash, dry and fold.
