The staff was amazing and they would answer quickly with any problems we would have ! The resort was amazing with a lot of utilities/activities all around the hotel’s land (gardens, pools, river, etc). All around it was amazing and an easy 5 stars for the price we paid !!

Beautiful property with wonderful staff. Room was clean, well furnished, and comfortable. Enjoyed being right outside of La Fortuna - close enough to easily get to food, attractions, etc., but far enough away for that secluded cabin vibe. Highly recommend booking!

I can’t recommend this place enough! Upon arrival, we were greeted by the owner’s son! He personally took the time to show us around the property and made us feel welcome! The grounds were absolutely beautiful! The rooms are right on the river, so sitting on the patio with our morning coffee was so relaxing! The kitchen was so nice to have. We were able to cook breakfast, daily! It was not too far from downtown, which was good, because driving at night was a bit scary! We loved being secluded, yet close to town! This place was definitely a 10/10! We’d definitely recommend this place!

Wonderful location, not too far from downtown La Fortuna (about 10 min) but it’s far enough from the noise and traffic. Our family stayed for 3 nights and felt completely safe. But what makes this place a gem is the wonderful staff (Silvia, Nicole, and Ana). They made us felt welcome and treated like family. It’s a place I would definitely stay again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!
