Beautiful oasis

Beautiful place! The hotel is tucked up the hill on a gravel road that would be manageable in any car if you drive carefully. There is access to hiking from the hotel and nature all around. William and staff were very helpful and always available. William can help book any kind of experience you’d like in the area and has great recommendations and advice. Would definitely stay here again!

Volcano Gold Loft is a gem in the Costa Rica jungle. Our room was spacious with a beautiful view off the jungle, great A/C and comfortable beds. The host was phenomenal and assisted us in planning our daily itinerary. Every recommendation he made was spot on. 10/10 would recommend.

+++ William was out of this world kind and took us out to see a sloth up in a tree nearby. The breakfast was good. The pool & jacuzzi areas were nice. - The rooms were humid and smelled like moist. We had a deluxe room ans nothing was really deluxe of it. The cleaning people lost our room key & so our room and bed weren’t done for a day. A bit out of La Fortuna and 1700 meters down a long unpaved road.

What an amazing hotel! With only 8 rooms, this place feels like home away from home. We got a beautiful room overlooking the jungle. We woke up to nature sounds and were able to see toucans from our window. The best part is the manager, Will. He made our stay unforgettable. We got tips for the best places to visit and he booked everything for us. I can’t recommend a better place in La Fortuna!

A very unique location situated on a long dirt road on a hill. Not easily accessible without a good vehicle but the location is quaint, quiet, and secluded. The pool and hot tub were a nice touch but the hot tub was not easy to walk too and had to be requested to use. The breakfast that was included was decent but the prices for the dinner menu were very expensive and so were the alcoholic drinks. The receptionists were very kind and nice.

Luxury with views

Nice luxury accommodations in the rainforest. Great choices for breakfast and amazing views. Need a car because it is a short drive from La Fortuna. Owners are opening horseback riding tours and night tours so I would check that out for sure. Book your own massage don’t go through front desk. I went to aesthetic spa 1 in las fortuna. It was awesome.
