The hotel room was dirty, moldy and anti hygienic. We only spent 7hrs in the hotel because of the hour that we got there 2:45am. The photos of the hotel are from a long time ago because the rooms definitely do not look like the pictures. Horrible would not recommend.

Canadian here. They lied and deceived. They had promised by email 3 beds. After signing they then said wifi was spotty. It didnt work at all. Having to walk in the dark to use the wifi in the lobby was not an option. We needed to book tickets and find directions with wifi. Got to room and no fridge for medicine or drinks. Big gaps in doors and a beetle dropped on me from the closet. It is an unsafe, walk back to lobby, was dark and poorly lit. People complainng toilets wouldnt flush. Pool area was overgrown. Dont believe the pictures. I requested a refund and they refused. I screenshotted the communication from the mananger telling the receptionist, no refund and insulting me. Thanks google translate. I will be requesting refund through Expedia and my credit card. All this was false advertising. They probably gave my old room to the guy who needed a working toilet. Regardless, we didnt stay. Read all the reviews. All we wanted was a clean, safe place to stay and enjoy our Costa Rica vacation. Don't let this one place discourage you, everyone else have been kind and service has been exceptional everywhere we go from the parks to the restaurants. We are not at Marenaz Oceanside near Manuel Antonio. Fabulous location and staff amazing. Beautiful beach location and great value. Safe and clean!

I don’t normally write a review but feel I must. This hotel is not what we were expecting 1. Staff are unfriendly, they look tired and overworked. Don’t want to be there. 2. Our room’s bathroom smelled like gas when I raised it they said they fixe it. Felt unsafe due the strong smell. 3. Toilets were getting clogged which meant more bad smell. 4. Breakfast is the worse I’ve ever had. For what you pay for the breakfast was super poor. I’ve been to cheaper hotels that offer more. Also breakfast ends at 9:30am and you get really bad looks if you get there at 9am. Overall super outdated hotel for the price.

Outdated rustic hotel

Very basic, rustic and outdated hotel. No adjoining walls in our unit and quiet. Hot water in the shower but not the sink. Poor value for money but not unusual in Costa Rica. Walkways poorly lit at night and slippery when wet. Had a great meal in the restaurant but breakfast was a bit disappointing. Plenty of birds around and also saw a venomous Coral snake by the open air restaurant. Pool area was popular with families. Can’t drive car up hill to unit, but staff brought luggage to/from rooms on electric golf carts. Room had good A/C, OK WiFi but was very dark at night. Light switches were inconveniently located and not many electric outlets ( typical in the time the hotel was built). Away from the noise and traffic of La Fortuna.

Excellent location, nestled in the forest, close to all activities. The rooms were gorgeous with great attention to details with amenities such as personal pool, jacuzzi, etc. Although it rained half the days we were at La Fortuna and we were travelling with a baby, the fact that our villa was surrounded by nature, allowed us to enjoy the rain forest vibes. The hotel and restaurant staff were friendly and considerate.

Don't eat at the restaurant!!!!

Our room was very clean and the pool was great. However, the tin roof on room 405 was extremely noisy. The rain and what ever was dropping from the trees made it vey hard to sleep. Also there were a lot of animals not too far away making a lot of noise. The restaurant is ok for breakfast if you are ok with birds eating the cereal before you get there. Evening meals....below sub par!!!!

The facility was well maintained. I'd recommend this resort for couples or for a family. A 15 min drive from the town center. Perfect if you have a vehicle.

Rooms are spacious and well kept. We stayed in the same room 12 years back and did not find any change in the furniture, bathrooms, and look and feel of the property.Considering we are vegetarian, dinner in the restaurant was not that great. Pool is small and could be crowded if there are lots of folks on the property.
