This is one of the gem right in the heart of La Fortuna. The room was spacious with a balcony. The shower was excellent. The decoration and amenities were appropriate. We loved our comfortable stay. There is a river running behind the hotel that adds to the charm of this place and the staff were extra helpful. We stayed for 4 days and felt really good. The eateries were just a walking distance away. I would stay in this again if I come back to La Fortuna.

We were a family of five who stayed here for two nights in July. The location was perfect in the middle of town. Breakfast was served from 6.20, which was convenient when going to early morning tours. Quite and nice place. Felt safe.

Cozy and beautiful property. Located right on the river for wildlife watching, even has a great little restaurant overlooking the rainforest past the riverbank. Very close to sodas and shops at the plaza. Would recommend!

We had a 3 night stay, and overall it was very good. The house keeping staff were amazing, the restaurant staff however did not welcome guests or give the impression that they wanted to be there. The front desk staff were very helpful and kind. The building and surroundings are beautiful.
