Recomiendo este hotel sin ninguna duda. Todos los empleados fueron amables, serviciales y dispuestos a ayudar. Karen y Daniel hicieron que nuestra experiencia fuera más de lo esperado con sus atenciones. Nuestra habitación para cuatro personas fue cómoda, siempre limpia y con todo lo esencial (aire acondicionado, máquina de café, neverita con refrigerios, toallas y artículos de higiene personal). El desayuno es buffet, variado y delicioso. Ofrece el tradicional gallo pinto, y a su vez tiene alternativas calientes y frias para el gusto de todos. La ubicación del hotel es perfecta para explorar la comunidad La Fortuna. Ubica en la vía principal de acceso al Volcán Arenal (donde en días despejados puedes observarlo) al costado de la Iglesia Católica. En el hotel puedes coordinar las diferentes actividades y excursiones que La Fortuna ofrece (hicimos varias y todas fueron espectaculares). El hotel cuenta con restaurante llamado Maria Bonita Steak House y una barra, Selva Negra Cocktail & Wine Bar. Tuve oportunidad de visitar ambos y fueron espectaculares, tanto en calidad, servicio y experiencia disfrutada. Para algo más ligero cuentan con La Ventanita de Maria Bonita, donde ofrece platos más ligeros igualmente ricos en ordenes para llevar. Este hotel superó todas mis expectativas en todos los aspectos y sin duda volvería a alojarme aquí.

Decent for the cost .

Reception staff was wonderful! JJ is an absolute star , their recommendations for restaurants & things to do were top notch ! The rooms are pretty dated , but clean , sheets have been used for waaay too long , they're stained & worn . Breakfast was great , no problems with the hot water. The room was quite noisy ( concert from either the fridge/freezer , the fan in the bathroom or somewhere in the walls ).

Book elsewhere!

Horrible customer service from some staff. Not all though. They argue with you after giving you a room you paid to have a pool view and it literally shows a cement wall. They tell you on booking it's 2 double beds but it ends up being 3 beds in twin size and taking up entire room. Traveler beware. See attached picture. This was a pool view room LOL They gave our 2 rooms to local costa ricans over us Americans. They argued with us too. Our second room we had to have the water fixed because it smells up the room bad.

Not a good stay.

The woman at the front desk was very unpleasant at check-in. She was aggressive and rude. We had two rooms, both were riddled with issues. The toilet in one room wouldn't work and the sink in the other room was leaking water all over the bathroom floor. When we tried letting the front desk know, she told my parents to stop using the toilet if it wouldn't work. Neither room could get the WiFi to work. Neither TV worked at all. The room we stayed in would not deadbolt lock and the door had a large gap at the top and bottom of the door. My husband found that it was because the top of the door frame was loose from the wall. Our room was booked for 3 people (2 adults and 1 child) and we only received 2 towels. When my husband went to the front desk to ask, the woman told him no more towels until we brought down 2 dirty ones. There are no phones in the rooms and no elevators so he had to walk up and down three flights of stairs to try to talk to her. Before you are allowed to leave the property housekeeping goes into your room and does a full inspection to make sure you didn't take anything. Because there was someone in front of us checking out, this process took about an hour.

This place is showing its age a bit but given the great staff, it’s easy to let that go. It’s located right downtown La Fortuna so easy walk to restaurants. We had a car so also easy access to planned activities. Parking was nearby and secure. If you are expecting a high end hotel, then this might not do for you, but it you want clean, simple accommodation with a nice breakfast and kind staff, then you are golden.

Really great place to stay in La Fortuna, the breakfast is hosted in the attached restaurant and is delicious; lots of fresh fruit, traditional CR food. What I will say, is that there is a swimming pool but it’s right next to the restaurant so it’s not private at all. They gave us parking in a very safe lot which was great.
