This is a great boutique resort ideal for couples. Those with kids may find other places a better fit (El Silencio for example). Intimate room setups with private hot tubs, excellent restaurant with live music during dinner, and a very nice pool setup for relaxing. The beds were super comfy and staff was wonderful. No view of the volcano but there is a sloth that lives up in one of the trees. For those looking for an intimate, relaxing setting, this is a great spot.

We loved this hotel. The staff really made our experience so enjoyable. Jeisson went out of his way to walk onto the sloth trail with us and point out 2 families of sloths. Dennis, Stephen, Josue, Rolando, and Alan all went out of their way to check on us and make sure the kids had smoothies at all times. Lol. We saw armadillos and sloths right outside our casitas. We didn’t need any bug spray. And the environment was so peaceful and calm. We will 100% stay at Noah’s again!! Thank you to all the staff for being so kind, helpful, and accommodating to us!!
Even the rain was enjoyable in the pool!

It was absolutely perfect! I can’t wait to stay here again the next time I’m in La Fortuna. From the friendly staff and spotless rooms to the surrounding rainforest, everything felt so comfortable and welcoming. The food was incredible, and the nightly live artist at the restaurant was such a lovely bonus.
