The staff was great, very helpful, professional and friendly. The room was clean and was accurately depicted in the online photos. Resturant had good food and was beautifully setup. The property was well maintained and the rates we booked at were fairly priced. Location very well situated to many different ideal destinations. We would definitely return to the property if visiting the area again.

Great staff- Great location !

We were there last week with our two boys 12 & 14 years old. You really feel like you are in the jungle. It is close to downtown and all the activities. The service is wonderful. The staff tries to accommodate you as much as they can. We definitely recommend this place! Thank you for the great hospitality!

Hotel is very dated

Unfortunately the cabins are not suitable for 4 people. The tv didn’t work! The rooms were dated. The best thing about the hotel was the bar where staff and guests were very friendly. Not a place I would stay again nor class as 3 star

Amazing experience. The grounds were so lush and beautiful. The restaurant was also great- fairly priced and quick. Drinks were soooo delicious. Also overlooks the lush trees and even saw monkeys from here!! Another highlight is the staff. Specifically Kenneth in the bar and Isaac at the restaurant. So friendly, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. This is less of a resort feel and more mountain cabin, but still has really great perks like the jacuzzi - we went in every night. Amazing spot!

Excelente para relajarce, cerca de las atracciones

Es un hotel con mucha naturaleza y jardines bien cuidados. Lo mejor fue como se siente la lluvia en la noche sobre el techo de zinc.

This was our favorite spot that we stayed in Costa Rica and we all wish that we stayed longer. We loved our little cabinita and it was perfect for the 5 of us. The blooming plants along with the walkway was beautiful. The bar was an extra bonus that we really enjoyed - so nice that it was right there on the property. The AC worked great too! Of course it was very nice to relax in the jacuzzi after a long day of travel.

This place was perfect for our family of 4. We loved the back patio with table and mini kitchen. It was beautiful to sit and eat breakfast on the patio watching the hummingbirds in the flowers. The staff was helpful and friendly. They helped us book a couple excursions as well.

Great property right in the middle of La Fortuna. Within 30 mins drive of all the places and things you want to see/do. Beautiful view of the volcano. Friendly staff. Rooms are in very lush vegetation which gives a mystic vibe. Amazing experience all together.

Lots of birds, trees and flowering plants from our front and back porch. Restaurant food was good. The bed was comfortable but furniture and lighting could be improved. Good location with other restaurants either walkable or short drive away.
