An absolutely beautiful property - views are stunning, rooms are wonderful. It’s a calm and tranquil vibe. Ideal for couples. Location is close to everything yet still secluded from the craziness of touristy downtown Fortuna. Can’t recommend enough!

Very nice property - new, amazing views. It is off- the main road, so there is a bit of a dirt road to get to it. Breakfast is available at another hotel - can walk there. Overall, nice service and facility. Everything stayed damp and didnt dry during our stay - it's just part of the dampiness in the air, even in the dry season.

This was the nicest place that I stayed during a 10 day trip to Costa Rica (out of 5 different places)! Check-in information is all provided via email, the room (I had a second floor suite) had an amazing balcony with a view of the Arenal Volcano and the bathroom was massive. Bonus points - it had hot water and Air Conditioning!

Very spacious room that was well appointed. The staff was very friendly. Breakfasts were a quick walk away and so tasty and you are treated to a wonderful bird show- they have feeders out and they attract many beautiful birds. We enjoyed walking the little trail there at breakfast also. We also loved the dinner from the Soda at the end of the street- great, cheap meal!! Room and property were very clean and welcoming. Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved this place! The private small pool—it was such a treat! The room was amazing, super clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Showering with a garden view felt private and peaceful. The location was central, and the staff were amazing. Highly recommend this room for a relaxing stay.

I loved the blend between design and nature of this place. The semi-outdoor shower makes the best of both worlds - an outdoor shower, without all the bugs. The garden were also very nice and the staff super helpful.
