Good place to stay for one night if you are driving through to La Fortuna and need a stop before the longer drive. There isn’t much to do around this area, without a lot of driving. As a result, we abandoned our pre-paid second night to get closer to La Fortuna. The hotel is fine. No AC. No shampoo/condition. No hairdryer. The beer at the brewery was okay, but we live in a spoiled location at home with excellent beer. The free breakfast was great. Dinner was just okay: pizza eh, and curry chicken was rubbery. The indoor hot tub wasn’t running a filter and was not hot. It wasn’t at all appealing to get in, so we did not. The grounds are nice and charming. A little pig ran past our door with great delight to us. There were also 3 dogs on site that were friendly and adorable. Staff was very nice. We entered our room to a (large) dead bug surrounded by ants, which made us uncomfortable. Without air conditioning, the room was 100% moist and not comfortable for sleeping. I did not venture to unpack and kept everything off the floor. The water was not hot enough to my liking in the shower. Overall, location was convenient but uneventful. Staff was great. Room was not spectacular, even though the layout would have been stellar with 2 full bedrooms and a kitchen in the middle. We just didn’t want to spend any time in there. We did love playing pool while sampling their beers. Stay for one night.

Starting with the positives: we had a lake view room, and the view was excellent, everyone in the family really enjoyed it. The staff was also very helpful and friendly. The hotel itself is quite old and has a two-level layout, with one level below grade, which is understandable. However, the corridors are very dark even during the daytime, making the space feel gloomy. We also noticed a few bugs in the room. While some bugs are expected in a tropical rainforest setting, we’ve stayed at other hotels in similar environments that manage this much better. In Costa Rica especially, effective ventilation, lighting, and pest control are important. This hotel would benefit greatly from addressing these issues.

It was a beautiful location with a lot of potential. The staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately it is poorly managed. We were there for 12 days and only had our room cleaned twice. Our room had no TV (as promised on their website) No fridge. Not even a couple bottles of water. When we asked about that the response was that we had booked a Standard room. We've stayed at multiple different resorts in Mexico and Dominican Republic and always had TV, fridge, coffeepot and bottled water. We always book standard or economy rooms. First time they cleaned was our 4th day and they only did it because the night before we had a swarm of insects coming through a hole in the wall behind the bed! They did not offer us a different room. They sprayed the hole and put tape over it. Promised to do a deep clean the next day. Their definition of deep clean is obviously different from ours. I don't think they even mopped the floor. A few days later I asked if we could get our room cleaned. The owner/manager gave me a curt nod and was unfriendly for the rest of our stay. Very disappointed!

Hotel itself was ok. Service was terrible. We signed up online for a night tour and the time listed on the website said 6:30 pm. I did not check the confirmation reservation for the time once in Costa Rica, I just went back to the website. We checked in about 4:30 p.m., hung out in our room and then headed to the lobby at 6:25 for our tour. We were met by Victor who seemed a little uncomfortable that we arrived for the tour. His English wasn't great which would not have been a problem if he had been able to do the tour. He took us out and was reading off tidbits from his phone. He did not locate any wildlife. We spotted an armadillo and a couple of spiders. 45 minutes later (for a two-hour tour) we were back at the lobby. When I sent an email to complain about the tour I was told that Victor was the maintenance manager and that the tour was at 6 and the guide left when we were a "no show". I knew Victor wasn't the guide when he told me there were Toucans every day and when I asked which type he said "grey". I contacted the hotel to ask for a refund of our money and they refused saying the confirmation email said 6 p.m. I sent back a screen shot to show their website said 6:30 and was told they'd let their manager know and see about a refund. Shocking - never heard from them again.
