Good facilities and location
Nice family owned hotel with good facilities. Good pool area and restaurants prices are good.
Breakfast is quite boring, three courses to choose from.
Rooms are very basic, a bit worn down.
The surroundings are nice, the garden very green and has view to the volcano.
Service in the reception was excellent, wonderful female receptionist.

Fantastic garden and pools
The grounds and pool were very pretty and well maintained. Loved the little bubbling brook through the garden. The free breakfast had 3 choices that were all yummy. If you plan to cook in your kitchen there is a hot plate, microwave and coffee pot. Very limited kitchen but doable. Only complaint was no curtain over kitchen window so could not walk from bedroom to bathroom without being seen. Had to throw clothing on to go to bathroom or give the suites across the walkway a show. Good value god your money.

Had a great rip o la fortuna and the hotel stay was good. The breakfast was good and the rooms were far enough away from town but close enough that it was good. The only downfall from the hotel was the beds were very uncomfortable and hard.

Beautiful grounds, great food, the chef is very passionate. The hot tubs were very comfortable but the pool water was too chilly for us, not many people used it because of the low water temperature. Also,we stayed in an attached room and could hear every conversation the neighbors had. Overall however we had a pleasant experience.

If you book a room with multiple beds, you’re going to be put in one of the funky units at the top of the property, away from everything else. The room we stayed in could only be locked with a deabolt using the key and the renovation job wasn’t great. These are not the rooms shown on the website and we heard loud bangs outside our room every night around 10pm. Sounded like gunshots but not sure. Pool was pretty nice, small and shallow grotto-style that our little one could stand up in. Staff was nice.

Cerca del centro y recomendado
Lugar tranquilo, silencioso, mucha vegetación, piscinas calientes y frías, restaurante en el lugar. Personal muy gentil. Comida deliciosa. Habitación amplia con refrigerador, agua caliente, toallas para piscina, aire acondicionado y wifi. El detalle fue una de las camas muy ruidosas.

It was ok
The hotel was really nice. The personal were also very helpful and friendly. There is nothing to put your clothes in the room one desk with two drawers and smalls. Food pretty bad. A little far from the center.
