Outstanding View of the Arenal Volcano from our room and the property was it beautifully landscaped and maintained. The restaurant associated with the hotel was an outstanding bird and sloth watching location

10/10 Exceptional

Great location. Beautiful tropical gardens and view to the mountains. Quite, yet only 15 min walk to a small settlement with restaurants (on a pavement). There is a corner shop 150m away and a lovely little soda/restaurant less then 200m away.

Very nice place to stay in La Fortuna, supermarket, restaurants in walking distance, friendly staff, beautiful rooms with direct view to the volcano, the breakfast is served in a place nearby where you have a very simple breakfast but you can observe the birds during your breakfast, worth to go

Absolutely wonderful property that I almost want to keep secret… but I won’t. Lovely rooms, lovely views. Must book for couples or relaxation

Overall Nice Experience

Nice hotel - they don’t clean unless you ask but close to town and overall good design and comfort. Breakfast is a bit down the road but not far.
Theresa, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was wonderful although the restaurant is not onsite walking to the restaurant was just a few mins (2-3 mins) which was wonderful and made sense since the restaurant has a beautiful location where one can watch birds and take a walk for free, or pay for a tour and go watch other birds and have a tour guide walk you through the place. The retreat is nearby La For tuna and many food options which I highly recommend trying several Soda places which are where locals go to eat.
Erika, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very relaxing place! I enjoyed the private pool after the tours and loved taking a shower surrounded by the private garden. The rooms were clean and the host was very friendly.
Andres, 1-night trip

Edson, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An absolutely beautiful property - views are stunning, rooms are wonderful. It’s a calm and tranquil vibe. Ideal for couples. Location is close to everything yet still secluded from the craziness of touristy downtown Fortuna. Can’t recommend enough!
