Very nice and quiet location. Perfect for someone who looks for a secluded place to stay. Hotel located in a very nice scenery in a near proximity of many attractions, activities and also La Fortuna city with many good places to eat. The staff is very nice and helpful.

Room was very old and rundown, basic. There was a tv but no remote control. Hotel looked clean and pool was enjoyable. Small restaurant serving breakfast and meals was good.

This property is away from the hustle bustle of La Fortuna. The property is older but it is clean and roomy. Don't get me wrong, it's not a 4 star hotel, but the courteous staff, the hammocks, the front lawn for the kids to run around all added to our stay.

Great location and friendly staff
Beautiful location with a river and garden out back. You can see hummingbirds and here monkeys on the premises. Very nice to be a bit away from the downtown area and enjoy nature. The staff was very accommodating and made us a vegan-friendly breakfast. Check-in and Check-out were very easy and they even let us drop our bags early before check-in.

Muy mala experiencia
Muy mala experiencia. Las camas y almohadas no eran para nada confortables, además por la noche llegaban personas a tocar a nuestra puerta y querer entrar y no pudimos dormir por los gritos y ruidos en general que ocacionaban otros clientes que se encontraban borrachos.
