“Excellent stay”
Close to city centre but also right next to sloth forest which gave us a lodge vibe with a scenic view of Arenal Volcano

Close to everything but excellent views of the volcano. Wildlife right outside the door of the room, we saw armadillo, turtle, many different birds and more all in the hotel grounds.

“Excellent”
I loved this place. The garden around the hotel was great, with lots of little creatures to find when it was dark. Armando and the sloth tour plus garden walks every evening was great. Spacious rooms and comfy beds.

“Great hotel in Arenal”
This surounding jungle is very nice. The local guide showed us frogs at the hotel (free of charge) The tours and hotsprings are less expensive when booked through the hotel!

“Great Main House and Pool”
The main house with the restaurant is just beautiful! You can watch all kinds of birds just in front of the area while having breakfast or dinner, and the view on Arenal is impressive. The pool is quite cold, but that's what you need when it's hot outside and we even were able to see Iguanas in the poolhouse. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was suprisingly good - give it a chance for dinner should you stay there. The family appartment had enough space and the location is great: if you want to stay in the city, everything is in walking distance. Although the appartments looked better on the photos, we had a great time at the place.

“The best hotel in Costa Rica for this budget”
We travelled in Costa Rica for a month and a half with the same budget and this hotel was undoubtedly the best we stayed in. Excellent value for money. The staff is so kind and friendly. We felt welcome. The room was clean and spacious. Delicious fresh breakfast. Amazing location.

The host was truly amazing. He made us feel very welcome and was always happy to answer all our questions. The place itself was excellent, with very clean, spacious rooms and bathrooms. The breakfast was really nice as well, and it had a wonderful view of the trees and birds. The location itself is also quite nice.

This is an amazing place tucked into the jungle. You will not be disappointed. We booked a sloth tour with Arnando at the accommodation and saw so many animals. Arnando is a wizard when it comes to nature spotting. We have spoken to a few people who did not see very much nature at La Fortuna. We had the opposite experience. The staff were all super chill and friendly and the proximity of the hotel to the jungle offered a unique experience where you see a new species every few seconds. Plenty of viewing areas to site and look into the jungle and await the show. Highly recommend.

“Hidden Gem”
We loved everything. The rooms dated but very rustic hotel. Beds very comfortable. Beautiful view of the volcano. Beautiful nature. Saw so many animals and birds. Thoroughly enjoyed the pool and was so central to town. Walk in 5 min. Staff very friendly and informative and professional. We plan to return often.

The location was amazing and the views from the breakfast bar were great, even if we couldn't see the volcano due to the clouds, the nature and animals were easy to see there and in the pool, which was also a really nice spot
