Ok room
Hard to find good places in La Fortuna during busy season. Everything is either booked or overpriced. The price here was good but the room was old and shower water was not hot. Location was good

You definitely get the Costa Rica experience staying at this hotel. Great price, within walking distance of the town/ restaurants. Clean pool, rooms and plenty of wildlife within the facility. There are plenty hummingbirds around the bushes by the parking lot.

Room was large and comfortable. Food was excellent, bird watching was very interesting. Other services including a cold pool and a pool table were available but we haven't used it. A nice place to stay. Tours at reasonable prices are also available.

Lovely view of Arenal volcano from the dining area. Definitely have the reception desk book all your excursions and transportation for you. They are very helpful and can get you good rates. John was very helpful in making travel arrangements for me. Just 3 short blocks from central zone of town.

Loved breakfast (not included) and bird watching in the mornings, the sloth tour with Armando offered through the hotel was amazing and well worth the price. Location was great, short and safe walk to town (bring a flashlight or phone light). Beds weren’t the best and the sheets were musty but we slept so well and weren’t bothered by any noise.

Fantastic place! Tucked away on a dead end road, so very quiet, with wonderful views of both the volcano and great bird watching at the bird feeding stations. We can’t recommend the Sloth tour with Armando enough. Make sure you do it if at all possible!

Great staff! Solid location just in town but bordering natural area. Local staff took us on a little frog walk to show us frogs on the property. The breakfast and dinner area is a nice terrace with a stunner view of Arenal and some areas for birds to come eat fruit. Very pleasant. Overall a great stay!

The manager Jose did an amazing job! They have an onsite restaurant which has an amazing view of the volcano. To top it off there are about 200 birds that come for the morning while you eat to feed on the fruits they hang. Also they offer us a " mini night hike" for free ( we tipped of course) around the property which has a bunch of frogs , toads and insects to see which we wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. The room was "huge" and our kids loved being in a separate room from us. Very close to everything!

Beautiful hotel in a quiet location but still near the center of town. Wonderful property where I saw birds and other kinds of wildlife. The rooms were a little older but we didn't mind. Highly recommend the breakfast with a view of the volcano.
