It was great i extend my stay for two more nights. This was the 2nd time i have stayed here. A little out of the way but great value.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is on very beautiful grounds. At the end of a dirt road. Secluded and felt safe. We stayed in upstairs room with a comfortable king sized bed. Breakfast was included and cooked fresh.

Nice , not more
The small apartment was not good maintained. Not enough hot waters or towels. The pool is nice, but you cannot sit next to it, just play in the water.
3-night trip

6/10 Good

Lovely grounds and view but very dated rooms
Overall the stay was ok, but not the best of my trip in Costa Rica, here’s my full rundown: The good: the hotel grounds are beautiful, the swimming pool is set in a nice area, breakfast was nice and right by the pool was lovely, the bed was big and comfy, the staff were helpful and friendly, there is a lovely view of the volcano from the property. The not so good: the rooms are pretty dated and in need of a full refresh, the property is further out of the main town than I realised (my fault for not properly checking), despite being friendly and helpful I reported a flashing light in the bathroom twice but was never fixed (felt like brushing my teeth in a disco!), despite staying for 4 nights my room was never made up once (I really was expecting at least once or twice), there is no safe in the room. On balance I did really like the hotel grounds, but if I were in La Fortuna again I’d look for something a bit less dated and closer to town

Cold Pools Nice people
A comfortable bed and good sized room. Friendly service and suitable breakfast. Disappointed that the pools were cold as in too cold to even go in. We knew they were not thermal pools but they are basically un useable

This was a great base to explore the Arenal area, close to the hot springs and waterfall, and several great dining options nearby. The units are basic but clean and well kept.

We loved the place. The staff was nice and the breakfast fantastic 😀 the only downside was the noise in the evening from the “party room”- the arguing and loud music till late in the night.
