Can't say enough great things about this property! The staff is overly friendly and helpful. The breakfast option was a great addition and was a the cutest restaurant down the street in the forest. Would 1000% stay here again, the room was beautiful as well as the balcony view on the 2nd floor of the lobby which gives you another view of the mountain when its not cloudy.

I had a great stay at the Fortuna Retreat. The view from my balcony was amazing! The property is gorgeous and well maintained. Staff were very accommodating and helpful. The breakfast restaurant was a 5 min walk down the street. It was pretty good. The retreat is in a great location where Ubers are cheap and restaurants are close. I highly recommend this stay if you’re considering it.

Beautiful property surrounded by lush greenery and tropical foliage, with an amazing view of the volcano. The staff were helpful, responsive, and easy to reach throughout our stay. The location was also very convenient, just a short drive from the main town. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend staying here.

Fortuna Retreat is a beautiful boutique hotel – we were greeted when we arrived and shown around the property. Our room was very nice with a spectacular view of Arenal Volcano. The grounds were amazing, lush and verdant. The breakfast was at a nearby (short walk) restaurant and was delicious. We were extremely pleased with our stay and highly recommend this place.

We had a great stay at Fortuna Retreat. Only notes would be that the room could be a bit cleaner (in the corners of the bathroom, behind furniture) and the view from the ground floor rooms is not as advertised- you can’t get a clear view of the volcano. Otherwise the staff were amazing, the pool was lovely and the grounds were extremely well kept with beautiful greenery.
