Very peaceful and comfortable room with a view of Arenal volcano (when the clouds cleared😊). Beautiful gardens and abundant birds. Staff were exceptional and very helpful. The activity recommendations were perfect. Would definitely stay again on our next trip to La Fortuna.
View from room.

Good and safe place to stay in La Fortuna and amazing view of the volcano but our room definitely needed some kind of modernisation...

The view was amazing. There’s four breakfast options all of which were ok. The staff was very friendly. There were some ants that would come into the room but they never went on the bed and did not bother me (your in the jungle what can you expect?).For the view and price it is definitely worth staying here.

We had a pleasant stay in this property, garden is well kept and Arenal volcano view is fantastic, the room was rustic but have AC, TV and Hot Water although it is missing a Safe (I removed 1 star because of this) I'd like to mention the reception lady (Ivannia) was very nice and helpful and always assisted us with all our needs..

The location is pretty good and the grounds have a beautiful garden. Breakfast was good with unlimited coffee (other places in Costa Rica provide seconds only on demand). They also have a bird feeder plank right next to the breakfast space, so we got a songbird show every morning. Staff was super-friendly, and cleaners did their best keeping the room clean. We got one of the more run-down rooms, looked somewhat worse than in the pictures. The climate being super-humid and not very hot, the room felt musty. There was AC which we thought might help dry the air out, but its air coming out of it was musty as well. Lastly, most of the time the hot water in the shower was not quite hot. Fortunately the weather was very mild (and rainy much of the time!), so we could just keep windows open at night and it was fine. To their credit, they recalculated the price downward on their own, because apparently we were charged the rate of a higher-class room.

Very unique interesting and nice hotel

Really nice hotel with a pleasing asthetic, rooms were mostly clean with few issues, we originally got the wrong room but staff were happy to switch us without issue. The pool could use more light as it was almost entirely dark by 5pm

Très agréable.

Bel ensemble verdoyant, chambre avec grande baie vitrée très agréable, petite piscine agréable. Petit déjeuner moyen (mon dieu, pourquoi du jus d'orange industrie !). Grand parking. A deux pas de la cascade LA FORTUNA et de la ville.

Die freundliche Lodge liegt in einem traumhaften Garten mit Pool und Blick auf den Arenal-Vulkan. Rezeption und Restaurant sind im Freien unter einem Dach mit Blick ins Grüne und auf eine Futterstelle für Vögel. Die Zimmer haben eine große Fensterfront zum Garten und ein weiteres Fenster über dem Bett. Das Bad ist zweckmäßig. Wir haben nur einen Safe vermisst. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
