The view was amazing. There’s four breakfast options all of which were ok. The staff was very friendly. There were some ants that would come into the room but they never went on the bed and did not bother me (your in the jungle what can you expect?).For the view and price it is definitely worth staying here.

We had a pleasant stay in this property, garden is well kept and Arenal volcano view is fantastic, the room was rustic but have AC, TV and Hot Water although it is missing a Safe (I removed 1 star because of this) I'd like to mention the reception lady (Ivannia) was very nice and helpful and always assisted us with all our needs..

Very unique interesting and nice hotel
Really nice hotel with a pleasing asthetic, rooms were mostly clean with few issues, we originally got the wrong room but staff were happy to switch us without issue. The pool could use more light as it was almost entirely dark by 5pm

Très agréable.
Bel ensemble verdoyant, chambre avec grande baie vitrée très agréable, petite piscine agréable.
Petit déjeuner moyen (mon dieu, pourquoi du jus d'orange industrie !).
Grand parking.
A deux pas de la cascade LA FORTUNA et de la ville.

Die freundliche Lodge liegt in einem traumhaften Garten mit Pool und Blick auf den Arenal-Vulkan. Rezeption und Restaurant sind im Freien unter einem Dach mit Blick ins Grüne und auf eine Futterstelle für Vögel. Die Zimmer haben eine große Fensterfront zum Garten und ein weiteres Fenster über dem Bett. Das Bad ist zweckmäßig.
Wir haben nur einen Safe vermisst.
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Me gusto
Me gusto mucho, un buen hotel para pasar en pareja, falto un poco de servicio de restaurante por que no siempre estaba abierto pero por el resto excelente, como la Fortuna es un lugar de muchos restaurantes se pudo disfrutar mucho y conocer bastante
