The location was good because we had a car . It was nice and quiet except for when it rained and the rain would hit the roof which was made out of tin so it was very very loud and hard to sleep the first night. It was a beautiful location and grounds. We wanted to swim but didn’t know the hours of the pools and it kept raining so it ended up to be fine . I wish there was a list of info of when you get into the room . Like a welcome letter with all the info. The main guy was nice and helpful but it’s nice to be informed better . The chef was great . They serve breakfast is included but they had dinner for a fee but it was cheap and yummy. Overall is was a great place to stay.

My wife, 21 year old daughter, her fried and I really enjoyed this place. Staff was super friendly, breakfast was not only convenient but delicious and included with the stay. We saw sloths, hummingbirds, toucans and lots of other birds right on the property. It’s located a little out of the main town but that added to the charm, being away from the hustle and bustle. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.

There was no hot water in the shower and barely cold water as well. In the middle of the night there was no one at the reception. When we made check out, had to wait more than half hour until someone will come to the reception. The hotel manager saw that I was upset from waiting and just was laughing at me. Very poor service and attitude.

It was a quaint no frills hotel perfectly situated in a quiet area near the town on fortuno. Breakfast was delicious. We were a 6 person family and fit comfortably in their six person suite. Would come again. Thanks for a great stay. Loved all the beautiful flowers and hummingbirds in the area.

It was a joy to stay two nights so near the volcano in such a beautiful place. The cabin was roomy, clean, and comfortable, the restaurant was excellent, and the grounds (including the "nature walk" in the jungle at the rear of the property) were spectacular. The owner and staff are great people too. I would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation.
