Great location—close to town, yet peaceful with beautiful volcano views. The one-floor rooms made it very easy and convenient to get around. There are also restaurants nearby, so you don’t even need to go into town.

We loved our stay! The room: was clean (you could smell the strong Javex like scent when you first walk in - so it was indeed disinfected) and we had the most amazing view of the volcano right outside our doorstep (room #22)! The breakfast: very good on both mornings with Rice & beans, scrambled eggs, pancakes etc... Fresh fruit (bananas, watermelon, pineapple and papaya) Coffee was accompanied with the option of steamed regular milk, soy or almond milk. Water, tea and juices were also available. The Pool: both were great and clean! Kids loved it. The one pool facing the volcano was warmer and closes at 6pm. Accessible: This property seems to be well setup for anyone with a wheelchair.

It is a lovely property with very nice rooms. Our room had a beautiful view of the volcano. The property has beautiful grounds with lots of flowering plants. All staff we encountered were so friendly. The bed was very comfortable. We had a shower attachment that needed to be fixed and they did it promptly. Nice variety of food for breakfast. I would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay and thought that the rooms were quaint and cute. The weather, however, was cooler in La Fortuna than expected. Add in the rain and that added to the temperature feeling even colder. Because of that the rooms got pretty cool and without having any sort of heat to turn on, that made our accommodations not as comfortable as we would've liked.

The location was clean, beautiful, and well situated towards La Fortuna and the Hot Springs. The breakfast buffet was great in terms of satiating us with traditional beans and rice, scrambled eggs, pancakes, toast, cereals, lots of fruit as well. The pools were nice and clean as where the bedrooms. My own suggestion would be to add conditioner to the menu of soap and shampoo.
