If you want to disconnect in luxury with incredibly attentive staff, this is the place to be. The property is a true sanctuary, peaceful and private, everything is spotless and new, and the service was exceptional throughout our stay. Just as important, the restaurant was excellent and easily the best food we had during our entire trip. Highly recommend!

The hotel was very nice and relaxing. What really set it apart was the hospitality. The staff is so accommodating and welcoming. Genesis and Kevin in particular really went above and beyond. Kevin recommended some great areas to check out locally and Genesis did as well. Make sure to ask Genesis to make you her signature drink. It is the yummiest Jamaica drink I’ve ever had!

We stayed here for a few nights and the only complaint is that we did not stay longer. Which is totally on us. The staff here was exceptional and we met the owner who is a local man just getting this property moving the start of this year, which is why there are so few reviews. So glad we got in early, and wish it was our little secret, but the owner and staff were so great, we want them to succeed! This is a great property. Super nice, but approachable. Beautiful but not pretentious or wanna-be-bougie, which so many of them are

Its a brand new hotel, everything was very clean. The property was serene and all staff were incredibly kind, professional and personable. Relatively big property with limited rooms, which keeps things fairly quiet. They have private access to the river for a soak but they also have their own pools too. The kitchen staff was very flexible, going off menu to provide meals to your liking. Highly recommended hotel

This hotel is very peaceful. The staff were all very friendly and attentive to our needs. We had breakfast included in our stay and it was delicious especially the coffee. We felt secured in knowing there was a coded gate to be able to enter the hotel. There weren’t may people staying at the hotel so we had the whole pool with the stunning Mountain View to ourselves. A short walk (or fast drive) to La fortuna waterfall which should be visited. If you’re looking for a slow pace, chill place I highly recommend.

It was so great that we canceled our plans and stayed there the entire day. The swim up bar is a hot tub. We had a massage, next to the river, easily the best massage I’ve ever had.

This is a new property and every is perfectly manicured and every detail was carefully thought out. It truly is a sanctuary and a very relaxing and magical place to stay. We were here 7 nights and truely made our trip feel like a vacation. Everything was exceptional from the 5 star food and the staff was excellent and memorable. All of them were very friendly, attentive, and happy to assist you. You can tell they care about their job and the resort and it's visitors. Felix the owner at one point came by the pool and bought my partner and I drinks, which was a very nice gesture and left a good impression on us. We learned more about the property and his 3 year journey to make it what it is. I would definitely come back here and highly recommend this place!

There is nothing bad to say about this hotel. We loved it. The staff, food, amenities, and location were outstanding. Staff made us feel at ease and comfortable as if we were guests in their own home. We had the opportunity to meet the owner of the hotel. Although he did not speak English and we do not speak close to any Spanish, he made us feel like he cherished our business and smiled continuously. Besides all of the aforementioned positive comments, the hotel was accessorized with beautiful artwork. One can visit the river below the hotel by following a well designed path which leads to an area where one can sit to enjoy nature. My husband are I were lucky to have found a gem without breaking the bank. We would definitely visit again. We wish this hotel great success as it is a new hotel.

Sanctuarium hotel is a magical place. From check in to check out. The property sits in a forest with a flowing river below. The beauty around the whole property is breathtaking!!

The staff was amazing, personal touch, special mention to yohan, Kevin, yeraldin at the front desk, who were very punctual arranged our transport and tours The staff in the kitchen went out out of their way in their hospitality, the chief chef, David made dishes for us outside the menu. The menu is limited. Fabiola was an excellent server and also took pictures all around the resort. The spa is not fancy but the messeurs were skilled. They could do better with that section. Met the owner during our visit who was very receptive to our input. This resort is very quiet , serene . Close to the waterfall and 20 minutes from the other main attractions.

We had an incredible stay at the Hotel Sanctuarium. The property and gardens were lovely. The hotel is new and everything was immaculate. The room was spacious and had a fridge. The restaurant was very good and had a gorgeous view over the valley to the mountain. It was extremely quiet and peaceful. My husband is an avid bird watcher and they put out seed and fruit for the birds and animals. They were fun to watch. The pool area is very nice. We enjoyed margaritas in the warm pool each evening after our adventures around the area. Often, we were the only people there. The staff bent over backwards to make sure were were happy. We did not have a car but there is lots of parking. It is close to La Fortuna and we could easily UBER anywhere we wanted to go. I would highly recommend Sanctuarium if you are planning a trip to Arenal.

Hotel Sanctuarium deserves high praises. The property is absolutely stunning from the moment you pull in to the front gate to the welcoming staff waiting for you at the door. Such a warm welcoming with a welcoming drink and a tour of the property. Even have access to the river. The room is spacious and clean with a walk in waterfall shower head. The outdoor pool and hot tub with bar is a must with a beautiful view of the volcano. The staff is absolutely amazing. Dayana and her brother Kevin were great! Literally everyone was great and welcoming. Need airport transportation? Let them know and they can help you set it up. Need help with booking excursions? They got you! They made the whole process smooth. If you’re looking to come to La Fortuna, I highly suggest you stay here.

This has been the best hotel my partner and I have ever stayed at. We truly can’t wait to go back. Everyone was so welcoming, and they slowly became our friends. We have never stayed at a hotel where we actually got to meet the staff on a personal level like we did here. Shout out to Kevin A., Genesis, Fabi, Yeraldin and everyone else whose names I sadly don’t remember right now. You guys made this the most memorable trip ever!The hotel was very private, which we really enjoyed. I loved waking up and having breakfast with a jungle view and, at times, having the whole pool and swim-up bar to ourselves.Chef Deuel is the absolute BEST. You can tell he is passionate about cooking, and he would satisfy our cravings even when they weren’t on the menu! I will definitely have to go back to enjoy your pupusas and crème brûlée again.We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Felix. He is such a great person and was very attentive to guests. He even hosted a BBQ where we got to mingle with other guests. Overall, compared to all the other hotels, this one is the best in La Fortuna, and we’ll be coming back with friends and family! You will also see plenty of different animals we even got to see a sloth.

We were a little nervous about booking a hotel that had only been open for about a month, but we’re so glad we took the chance—our stay was truly phenomenal. After seeing several other properties around La Fortuna during tour pickups, nothing came close to the serenity, luxury, and overall atmosphere of this place. From the stunning grounds to the beautiful art throughout, it just feels special. The gated entrance is a lovely touch and really adds to the sense of privacy and luxury. The hospitality truly stands out: thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely personal. The grounds are immaculate, with natural beauty everywhere you look. The food is excellent, and every detail feels intentional. We loved meeting Kevin, Johan, Yeraldin, Andrés, Allison, Fabiola, and the rest of the team who made us feel more like family than guests. The Sanctuarium far exceeded our expectations and was the perfect way to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Hotel Sanctuarium is truly a sanctuary. The property is grand and meticulously cared for. Surrounded by tropical jungles, views of the mountains and the valley below, it was by far the best place to stay for our trip to La Fortuna. And it is only a 7 minute drive to the heart of downtown. There is a restaurant on site with exquisite food. Perfect after a long day of activities so we didn’t have to venture back into town every night to find somewhere to eat. They cater to any specific dietary needs. The rooms are big and immaculate. They each have their own wall of windows that open to a large patio where you can sit and view the jungle covered mountains or the vast valley below. From the time we booked (even before we arrived) the staff was so attentive and helpful in getting our excursions arranged, along with transportation. Genesis, Johan, Kevin, Kevin A, Fabiola, Yeraldin, and Dayana pampered us at every turn, delivering drinks and food to us wherever we happened to be on the property. They answered a multitude of questions and showed us around the sanctuary. The staff were all fluent in English so it was easy to communicate but they also welcomed my efforts to speak Spanish. I highly recommend this hotel. It was a truly wonderful experience. Thank you Hotel Sanctuarium for making our stay perfect!
