Beautiful property. You're surrounded by foliage. Staff amazing! So helpful with everything. We stayed in a double Queen room with our kids. Mostly quiet (neighbors can be noisy). Breakfast was really good (3 options every morning with coffee, juice and fruits). This place books up so get your spot quickly. In downtown La Fortuna so easy access to everything. We'd come back!

Wonderful property, helpful staff. We saw so many birds and even a sloth and baby from the breakfast nook. The rooms open right out into the lovely gardens and pool area. The breakfast is filling and tasty, and eaten in a covered outdoor area. Walkable to the town center. Highly recommended.

Beautiful rooms with 2 pools (1 big enough to swim lengths and the other for just sitting in after a hot day in the forest.). This hotel exceeded our expectations, from every member of staff who was so friendly and tolerated my kids constantly asking if they could help us find a sloth, to the cleaners and their incredible towel art. A beautiful and luxurious little hotel in the heart of La Fortuna.
