10/10 Exceptional

El recepcionista William fue magnífico. Muy atento en todo. Cuando una de las excursiones que quiera hacer fue cancelada por la compañía turística él se encargó de buscarme esa excursión con otra compañía. Personas como él hacen más fácil y agradable los viajes.

Excelente para relajarce, cerca de las atracciones

Es un hotel con mucha naturaleza y jardines bien cuidados. Lo mejor fue como se siente la lluvia en la noche sobre el techo de zinc.

Great staff- Great location !

We were there last week with our two boys 12 & 14 years old. You really feel like you are in the jungle. It is close to downtown and all the activities. The service is wonderful. The staff tries to accommodate you as much as they can. We definitely recommend this place! Thank you for the great hospitality!

This place was perfect for our family of 4. We loved the back patio with table and mini kitchen. It was beautiful to sit and eat breakfast on the patio watching the hummingbirds in the flowers. The staff was helpful and friendly. They helped us book a couple excursions as well.

Great property right in the middle of La Fortuna. Within 30 mins drive of all the places and things you want to see/do. Beautiful view of the volcano. Friendly staff. Rooms are in very lush vegetation which gives a mystic vibe. Amazing experience all together.
Hassan, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel is very dated

Unfortunately the cabins are not suitable for 4 people. The tv didn’t work! The rooms were dated. The best thing about the hotel was the bar where staff and guests were very friendly. Not a place I would stay again nor class as 3 star
Kishor, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lots of birds, trees and flowering plants from our front and back porch. Restaurant food was good. The bed was comfortable but furniture and lighting could be improved. Good location with other restaurants either walkable or short drive away.
