Very nice hotel with really good location ( close to the town centre), very helpful staff- they helped us to organize jeep boat jeep to Monteverde and were very quick in response in English. It's very cosy inside as it's not very big hotel. Good breakfast in the restuarant downstairs.

Great location and value for money.

The location and value for money and the proximity of the Open Kitchen restaurant made it the perfect place for our stay in La Fortuna. Plus the staff were so helpful and friendly.

Excellent value for money

The staff were extremely helpful and nice. I had an issue with wifi in my room and it was resolved quickly. The pool area is very nice. The location is excellent. The attached restaurant is good and also has very nice staff. The room was clean and sheets and towels were changed daily. I was impressed by the way housekeeping arranged my towels differently each day.

A perfect stay

A special mention goes to Fernanda the receptionist who was so helpful professional and friendly and who went out of her way to help us with slightly complicated transfer arrangements and even phoned and booked an early entrance to Mistico park and an uber to get there with Danny the driver - we are so grateful to you!!!

Breakfast was fine. It was typical for the area. The food off the menu looked really good though. The staff was excellent. They were friendly, courteous and made good recommendations without seeming robotic
