“Beautiful and unique place to stay.”

Beautiful and unique room in the tower of a castle. Lovely common areas and pool.

“A very warm welcome awaits in the special quirky Castle.”

The property was truly magical, a paradise within a paradise . It was like a fairytale Castle with lovely natural decor and relaxing space.The swimming pool was so lovely to cool off. The hospitality was wonderful from help with trips to airport transport arrangement. A tasty breakfast was great to start the day. There were eateries near by and a lovely walk into the main town for the rest. If too tired on the way back taxis were very affordable……A special place where the love of the owners is openly shared with their gusts.

Lovely tower room - very unusual and absolutely lovely host.

The pool was most refreshing. The staff were very helpful. The hotel was within walking distance to the town

This hotel was exceptional! Our room was the Sun and Moon room, and it was above and beyond our dreams. We had two terraces and a large bathroom. The pool was lovely and in direct sunlight during the morning and day. The castle itself is straight out of a fairy tale, and Giana, the host, was so accommodating and very friendly. She gave us great activity and food recommendations. Her Husband was also happy to set up the pool table for us to play while we waited in the morning for our flight transfer. We would never want to stay anywhere else on Santa Cruz and would recommend this castle to anyone.

“Special facilities and helpful hosts”

La Fortaleza is a lovely castle built with a love for detail and very nice and helpful hosts. They helped us organize our transfers between as well as on the islands.

“Perfect place to escape the busy city centre”

Beautiful place to stay! It's quiet and peaceful. Big swimming pool where you can relax. The staff is friendly. Here, you can truly escape the crowded city centre.

“Horrible owner, don’t stay”

“Would recommend”

Good location. Lovely host

Everything !!!

“Change time of the breakfast and will be ok”

Breakfast is theoretically included in the price, but it's only available from 7:30 a.m., which means you can't really take advantage of it. Most tours and transfers start before that time, and almost everything is closed then, so you won't have the option of eating anything. I suggest changing the breakfast time to an earlier one.

“We, a young couple, stayed for three nights on Santa Cruz and had the pleasure of staying in the tower room. We were com”

“Amazing hosts, wonderful place to stay to relax and enjoy all the local attractions.”

I gay an amazing place to stay out. We loved meeting the owners, Janna snd Roberto, they made us feel at home from the word go. Really helpful to have conversations with them in advance of our stay as they were able to help us with an itinerary. Fortaleza is such a lovely place with so many lovely touches in its design and use. Rooms were very comfortable and there are plenty of places to relax within its grounds and have a swim in the pool if you like.

“Lovely”

Beautiful and super helpful owners

Beautiful setting, lovely host and great place to relax and chill in the pool or hammocks away from the noise of town!

The character of the hosts and the character of the hotel. The primary hostess, Gianna, was born for this role. A people person by nature, her fun-loving spirit, social curiosity, and caregiving nature, will make you feel welcomed, supported, and appreciated. She goes beyond the call. The building itself is teaming with novelty, bells, and whistles. You'll want to explore every nook and cranny of this historic building. A refreshing change from the humdrum of chain hotels. The facilities were reliable. I especially appreciated the user friendly shower, and its well regulated pressure and temperature. A rarity at most hotels these days. The location is underrated. It is like a five minute walk from the main drag, and a twenty minute walk from the furthest point of the main drag. Its comparatively secluded location adds to the feeling of retreat.

Fantastic hotel and owner which give to us good tips, beautiful room and very clean 👌 I recommend this hotel with all my heart ❤️

“Great value for money and not your average hotel stay.”

Quirky property, just out of town, 7 minute walk, close to Darwin Station for a walk. Loved my stay, my room over looked the National Park and was very tranquil on the terraces. Pool was lovely. Breakfast was freshly made to order and plentiful.

Located in a quiet area, the place is very beautiful and cozy. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. The place was clean.

“Amazing hotel, can recommend to anyone”

Loved the view and the concept of the hotel. Our room had two balconies, which were great to have. The hotel is next to the forrest, so we had an amazing view and fewer neighbors than one may expect. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and we loved the pool.
