Property is located just outside of the square in La Fortuna and gives “white lotus vibes”. We did go in their off season but felt like we had the property to ourselves. Loved being able to message on WhatsApp and immediately get a response. Breakfast each morning was great! Would recommend!

Disliked: Amenities
Our room was very nice and fairly new, however the master shower could be looked into from the room next door, as well as the walkway out front by restaurant. Staff was mostly nice, however the restaurant service was very bad just about every meal. There was also construction at the gym/fitness area that caused much dust and noise, closing off areas. And there was a pool also closed for construction. Another issue was the lack of laundry service, especially since the electric (air conditioning) shuts off in room when you leave, so the humidity builds up and nothing ever dries.

The staff are very friendly and the hearty breakfast included is amazing. The rooms are well laid out and spacious, including the bathroom with a large walk-in shower and the most powerful rain showerhead. This is the most efficiently run property I’ve ever stayed at!
