The property is very pretty with a view of volcano from the pool. We enjoyed having multiple thermal pools on the property and especially loved having our own private thermal pool, which was a great way to relax at the end of the day. The location is also very convenient and close to everything in the area. Our overall experience was mixed. The food was fine but nothing memorable. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. Our room was comfortable and they left us with snacks and a bottle of wine, which was a lovely welcome. We did encounter a significant issue with ants in the room, especially on the desk, nightstands and bathroom counter, to the point where we couldn’t put our things down. Not just a few ants - it was an infestation. There was a sign in the room saying ants were a part of staying in the rainforest, which made it seem like this was normal. We ended buying cleaning wipes and wiped down all the surfaces which seemed to get rid of most of the ants, but it gave us the impression that the room hadn’t been properly cleaned. We didn’t encounter this issue at any other hotel on our trip, which made it stand out.

Amazing property, the grounds are well kept, our room was spacious and spotless, the hot springs were amazing. There is a pool and a sauna on the property. The food was incredible - fresh, tasty, great options. Had a buffer breakfast every morning and truly enjoyed it. Had a few lunches and dinners and loved everything. Staff was very nice, everyone was friendly and helpful. The Uber to the town is fast and cheap if you’re not renting a car. Lots of parking if you have a vehicle. Great excursions, you can make arrangements on your own or ask the front desk to make arrangements for you. We found the area very safe. Highly recommend the resort to everyone visiting the area.

We loved our stay here. First and foremost, the front desk staff were the nicest and most helpful people I have ever encountered in my many years of travel. Everyone always had a smile on their face. Pool area was very nice, water beautiful. The springs were great. Get a room with your own, worth it! Great place to stay. Dinner at restaurant was good, but get out as there are so many better ones in la Fortuna. No gift shop but that’s a good thing. Manfrique made our stay so memorable. Outside gym is cool. Get the equipment as great quality.

The room was large and very comfortable for our group of four (two adults and two teenagers). We especially enjoyed the private thermal pool, which was an awesome addition. However, we did notice that some of the fixtures in the room are a bit dated, particularly the toilet. Updating these elements would significantly improve the overall experience. Thermal pools were nice and spacious

The rooms were basic and some bugs got in although we were careful, but the rooms were clean at least. The staff was wonderful. We enjoyed a New Year’s Eve dinner in the restaurant and had the free breakfast one day, it had a nice variety of options. The highlight was the hot springs area. It had a great vibe, very cool with lights and a swim up bar. The grounds were also gorgeous with the vegetation and we saw a few birds walking around too. I would stay again!

Breakfast has a great variation, gallo pinto is wonderful, plantains, Omelette, fresh cheese of the region, pancakes, fruit, meats, chilaquiles, bread, good coffee, juices, all in a buffet’s mode. Staff is really kind and always willing to suggest options. Restaurant is great with gourmet food options at reasonable prices, so you don’t have to go out for looking other options. Sights of the volcano was great from the hotel. There are rooms with private termal jacuzzi in the middle of your own garden!
