The hotel grounds are BEAUTIFUL!!! I woke up to a gorgeous view that I could see RIGHT FROM MY BED! The staff was very helpful and friendly. Chris was the absolute best!!!! He helped with everything from checking in to reservations to recommendations! The hotel itself is not in a “hot spot” but it is conveniently located on the route that leads to La Fortuna and popular hot springs. So, it was an easy drive to get to different activities and restaurants. I will definitely return!

It was truly an amazing experience. View alone worth million dollar. Staff was extremely considerate and courteous. Swimming pool and Hot tub experience was great. Not to mention, food was very delicious and tasteful. I will recommend very highly and will say just have breakfast and dinner at this place only. There was some minor issue with the internet but the staff actioned it right away. You may feel place is slightly away from LA Fortuna but the price and experience, no one can beat it.

This property is about 45mins away from the busy resort area. The individual guest houses, provide views of the lake. The meals at La Mansion Inn are good and the variety is sufficient enough render driving to another place excessive. Pair all of that with friendly staff and you’ll have the option of adventure or simply relaxing.

The setting is absolutely beautiful, with views of the lake and mountainside in every direction. The hotel itself is full of cozy, comfy charm and authentic Costa Rica pure vida. Truly heaven on earth! All staff from Ceasar the front desk manager to the entire waitstaff were kind, friendly and completely helpful with all our requests. I highly recommend this for any and all tourists who want to experience true Costa Rican hospitality at its finest.
