Our stay at hotel secreto was perfect! Walkable to everything in La Fortuna. Fabricio working the front desk was so kind and accommodating. The pool was just another amazing feature to relax in and the complementary breakfast was delicious! We even saw a sloth right out front the minute we arrived!

Hotel Secreto in is a gem, it is located close to the main shopping and dining area in La Fortuna but is very quiet at the same time. The rooms are big, very modern, clean and the beds are super comfy. The A/C works great and the shower has good pressure. The staff is super friendly, helpful and striving to make your stay special. On a clear day, you can see Arenal Volcano from your balcony/patio. The pool is nice and located in the center of the small property surrounded by amazing flora. The free breakfast was really good (they offer 3 options) and the coffee amazing. I highly suggest a stay here and would certainly book it again myself when back in La Fortuna.
