Location, I was familiar with the area

First of all it was easy to reach. Enough parking spots. A wonderful cat waiting there for me. Then the owners said hi and welcomed my dad and me with such a warm feeling! They made sure we didn't miss on anything. Some of the most wonderful people ive met full of love. Our room was simple but clean with lots of space, a fridge and finally a hot, strong shower! It was quiet there but is well located, supermarket and restaurants in walking distance. And the cabins feel private and yet you can communicate with your neighbours if you wanted to ;)

“Good spot to visit the surroundings”

The service from the owner and his brother. Great people, out to help!

“Surrounded by nature”

Lovely owners, spacious room and a great hot shower. Hummingbirds and Tucans and a sweet cat are just outside the room. The cabin could need a makeover as everything look a bit old. The balustrade outside is too loose and there is nowhere to hang your cloths. Great location to start many adventures! Breakfast at the nearby Restaurant (Ginger) was nice and the boys there helped a lot with arranging trips

“Spacious cabin with private patio on the Fortuna waterfall road.”

Room was spacious and patio provided good privacy. Room was very well cleaned. There was a reasonable minimart and very nice cafe near by.

“Authentic, comfortable, would stay again”

Spacious, clean and comfortable. Good breakfast optional at extra charge. Nice gardens with birds. Lovely helpful couple who clearly wanted to please. We felt this was a really authentic experience with a Costa Rican family living within the grounds. It’s a little way from the centre, which we liked - there is a nice restaurant, a bar and small supermarket very close by and we used Ubers to reach the reserves and thermal spa. Shuttles (Monteverde, San Jose), pick up and drop off there no problem.

“Serious beauty”

Seclusion. Privacy. Stunningly beautiful grounds. These are all things I needed. And Let me tell you about the owners English speaking son; add mental health therapist in a peer support level. My wife decided to leave me alone at the airport just after we landed because we got in a huge, and final fight. She bought a ticket and just flew back home almost right away. I decided to go to the destinations we already booked because I don't know what else to do. The fight delayed me enough to force me drive at night-a harrowing experience when you forgot your eye glasses at home and every source of light looks like a five point star in the dark and your GPS in your rental car stops working or delayed enough to guide your turns too late. I didn't known where I was going because she booked the cabin. At one point, I was lead down a road that with no turn around and reeds quickly enveloped around my rental car as in Steven King's Children of the Corn. Worse, the vehicle began sinking in mud. Panicked, I gunned it backwards, flying past the reeds, and landing on the main road. Thanks Siri, you're never leading me around again! I don't speak a lick of Spanish and didn't feel the need to study it before we would go because she would be my guide and interpreter. Don't hate her because she left a bipolar, autistic , psychically disabled senior to fend for himself in a foreign nation that doesn't speak my language because I probably had a part in the blowout with her. I had to have. So there is no hiding my tears, and the owners son just jumped at the opportunity to console me. He informed me that he had managed bipolar one along with me. We suddenly were a Suport group of two. Sometimes an ear to listen to me is all I need. Mental health therapy is not one of the services listed on their booking site, but after the pieces of his heart he shared with me that pulled me out of panic and tears, maybe it should be.

“I would definitely stay again. Excellent value and cute spot.”

Overall this is a great place to stay. There are five cabins so it is perfect for a family/group gathering as you can book all of the cabins. My family of six booked two cabins side by side. I was welcomed and my overall experience was very positive. I loved sitting on the porch in the morning and bird-watching. It is a peaceful environment.

“Twitchers paradise”

Excellent quiet location in beautiful bird friendly gardens

What I have appreciated the most is the very human approach by the lovely couple - Adrian and Irene - who manages the place. Both are very helpful and attentive, and they spared no effort to make my stay comfortable. I thank them wholeheartedly! The room is spacious, clean, with a mini-fridge (practical) and a little terrace just in front, all bathed in a well-cared for garden. I will definitely be back again if I happen to be in La Fortuna one day!

“Top”

Expensive

I did not like the gap between the front doors and floor. Some creature can get inside.

Clean rooms, good shower

“We would return.”

Good cook. Tasty food. Plenty of it

“Comfortable, relaxing, delicious food!”

Everything during our stay was fantastic! Our hosts were so incredibly kind and welcoming. We loved starting every morning with breakfast on the porch and ending it watching birds from our patio. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I highly recommend staying there if you’re in the area!

“Very basic accommodation but okay for one night stay.”

The location out of the main town was attractive to us.

“Family run lodge with great breakfast”

The family are super sweet and helpful. My Spanish is minimal and children who do speak Spanish decided to be mute. Do much head shaking. Really safe and friendly.

“beautiful local stay in La Fortuna”

we loved how friendly our host were and how accommodating. the place and location were lovely.

“Fantastic hosts, great sized room, delicious breakfast! Bit of a walk into town, however absolutely doable.”
