6/10 Good

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

2/10 Poor

Chose this place because of an abundance of good reviews.Room we got doesn’t look like any of the pictures posted on Expedia.Side lamps are seen in photos of the rooms yet there were no side lamps in our room. There is also not enough natural light so you are stuck using the bright main lights which was more of an inconvenience than one would assume.One bed was comfortable and the other had a hard mattress that you can feel every spring through. No shelves in bathroom or place in shower to put toiletries. Cheapest 1 ply toilet paper on the planet, unlike the other hotels we’ve stayed at in Costa Rica. Noticed security guard just staring at me as I walked around the grounds which didn’t make me feel very welcome.Security guard came and told me to turn off my outside light. Why is that their business? I’m paying to stay here.Staff suggested we turn off the air conditioning when we are not in the room-again we are paying to stay here and are on vacation.It’s mentioned in the booking info, but it’s bizarre that the more you pay, the less you get. For instance breakfast being charged to a room with a full kitchen because you have the ability to cook. The pools are nice but they turn off the artificial waterfalls during the day for some reason. No jacuzzi as mentioned. Says no pets allowed but every time we opened our door the owner’s animals (two cats and a dog) were there begging for food. Cat would pull screen door open and run under the beds and we had to get him out each time.
