It was great i extend my stay for two more nights. This was the 2nd time i have stayed here. A little out of the way but great value.

Friendly host but basic amenities
Welcoming host but basic amenities. The kitchen was old, small and uncomfortable to cook in. Plates and glasses are mismatched, and stored high in a cupboard with a ledge, very impractical. Pots and pans are stored in the oven. Drawers are broken. There is nothing in the kitchen: no salt/pepper/oil, and not even coffee filters. The pools are not heated, and as we came in November they were cold. Very disappointing. The jungle animal noises are loud, which can be good or bad - you decide. I did not like that someone came in to make our beds without my knowledge. Otherwise, Fernando was very friendly and gave us promptly what we needed (extra chair, oven dish, sewing needle). Good location in La Fortuna.

Secluded but Easy Access to La Fortuna Town
Property is conveniently located off from the main road so it is quiet. 10 minute walk to the main road or easy drive. We went into town for breakfast and dinner, but also used kitchen to cook. 2 bedrooms and full kitchen with dining table gave adequate space to relax. Pool was nice added feature and clean. We would have enjoyed added amenities like complementary coffee to use in the coffee maker. A few instances of needed repairs such as faucet in washroom very loose and shower head spraying everywhere. Staff were friedly and welcoming. They responded to request to fix shower head that day and let us use hotel umbrellas which were needed often. Lots of stray animals around that our kids enjoyed. We stayed in the rainy season, so the first two nights, we were the only people there.

4/10 Fair

Decent for budget stay
Hotel needs updating. Lights in one room didn’t work, there was a bit of a smell and because windows open there were little bugs. Not much to do at hotel, but it did have a washer (no dryer, but clothesline in laundry). We booked a 3 night stay, but only stayed one night and switched to a hot springs resort. It was quiet and we all slept well. We had 5 adults, 2 rooms and 4 beds, so it suited what we were looking for space-wise.

This was a great base to explore the Arenal area, close to the hot springs and waterfall, and several great dining options nearby. The units are basic but clean and well kept.

The hotel has seen better days. Room furnishings were shabby, like from a garage sale. Front desk staff did nothing to fix lights or a broken lock. Kitchen staff were very kind, but imagine a complimentary breakfast in CR with no fruit!! Garden was nice, pool and hot tub were nice. A/C worked. Not great value for the cost.

The hotel is approximately half an hour walk from downtown la Fortuna It was an easy safe walk even at night. The hotel was accommodating and the service great Patti, the maid, and breakfast. Jeff is such a nice beautiful person, I enjoyed chatting with her. The rest of the team there are very nice, but I didn’t get a whole lot of time to talk with them If ever in La Fortuna, I would use them again by
