Decent place
The hotel was decent but a few things were not great: pool was closed for repairs, very poor lighting in room, very little furniture in room, forbidden to flush toilet paper down the toilet (!!). But the gardens were nice, breakfast good, beds comfortable, AC good and staff friendly.

The staff were very accommodating and assisted us whenever we asked. The breakfast was well done and the rooms were clean and quiet. The one area that was a bit lacking was the WIFI connection went out regularly.

Would definitely stay again!
We had a lovely stay at Hotel Secreto in La Fortuna. The staff were amazing! Very friendly and attentive to our needs. It's tucked away a bit off the main street, which made for a mostly quiet stay. The only issue was the roof work being down on a Sunday, which we planned as our rest day from excursions. It had to be done, but we wished it was done on another day. The staff was very apologetic about it, which we appreciated. The hotel is conveniently located to many great activities, suited to whatever level your sense of adventure! Also within walking distance to many great restaurants. We would stay there again!

Oustanding La Fortuna Location!
Outstanding location in the heart of La Fortuna. 3 minutes walk to downtown restaurants and shops.
Beautiful gardens in the Courtyard that feel like you are in the Rain Forest (well, technically you are!).
Accommodations are simple but clean. Everything works, and the Air Conditioning is very pleasant.
