Great stay

This was our second destination on our itinerary in Costa Rica. I loved this place. It was spacious, clean, the grounds were so pretty with many native flora. It was a short walk to many restaurants and a short drive to the Arenal volcano.

The cabana style room provided a great atmosphere for the property and the surrounding plants and trees make you feel like you're on the doorstep of the rain forest. Pool and on-site restaurant are nice. Plus many local restaurants within walking distance.

This hotel is on the main drag, but the cottages are far enough off the road as to knock down any noise. Beautiful pool, and easy dining.

Piece of Paradise in La Fortuna

This is a hidden gem in La Fortuna! The grounds are beautiful, the restaurant is fantastic, and the rooms are updated and very comfortable. I just can’t say enough good things about this hotel. Even the pool was welcoming and refreshing. The free breakfasts were incredible and we also received a nice little touch in the room for my daughter’s birthday. I would stay here again in a heartbeat - you won’t be disappointed.
Angela, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I love how the bungalows were so in tune and balanced with nature. Right next to a restaurant, we had a free breakfast that was amazing. Amazing place if you don't mind the rain, which is everywhere in the rainy season. Because its warm, it feels nice. There was only 10 bungalows, so pretty small hotel, but high qiality and really nice staff. If I was to complain is that we had cold water in our shower the last day, but every other day was really good and the ac worked well as long as you dont blast it 24/7. Mostly old technology at most hotels in Costa Rica. So I doubt its too much different unless you're at the high end hotels which I don't really think its worth paying for. Anyways, its in the middle of the town and really good restaurants, markets, laundry service and near all the tour activities. Highly recommend.

What a find!!

What a beautiful hotel!! We loved staying here, enjoying the grounds, the pool, the cabana, and the restaurant. Our room was private and so well-designed. It was easy to get to Baldi Springs, La Fortuna Waterfall, Don Tobias Horseback, and the Hanging Bridges, making it a wonderful home base. We enjoyed the included breakfast and we dined in the hotel restaurant for dinner as well. Our food was excellent. The only tiny negative was that the beds were a little firm for my preference, but it wouldn’t keep me from coming back again.
