Amazing location in the very heart of La Fortuna, but tucked away from the main drags. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Very easy to book tours and passes through reception, even at the last minute & their prices were cheaper than on the tour websites!

Location was perfect, secluded in La Fortuna. The gardens were beautiful. We were in a room at the end of the property so it lost a bit of the garden view. Nice they had a pool, though it was showing a bit of age. Loved the wildlife right at the hotel. Room was super clean and nice.
