Although this place is worn and in need of a bit of TLC, our private cottage was an oasis. We absolutely loved our private home with pool. The breakfast was amazing and close to town. I would highly recommend.

We had the room with the private pool this time, and let me tell you it was gorgeous!! The pool could use a little updating, but the property is under new ownership and they are renovating everything. When we got there we were told they were giving us a free tour at the hanging bridges… we’ve been to La Fortuna many times, but had never done this activity. This is a DO NOT MISS location! We saw so many birds, a coati, 5 different eyelash vipers, blue jean frogs, etc. I highly recommend staying here, this was our second time and both rooms were great! Ohh. And there are fireflies there in June!!

It's in a jungle rainforest, so it's quiet and peaceful - with the background sounds of birds and other critters scurrying or calling in the forest. My teen grandsons thought that was very cool. It's a lovely place and has a kitchen. Just remember to bring a lighter to light the stove or send a note via What's App to the main Lodge & they can supply one.

This property was excellent! The area was absolutely beautiful. The villas were clean. The staff was very kind. There is a beautiful hike that you can take walking from the area of the hotel. The breakfast that is offered every morning is hot with large portions. I would recommend the villas to anyone and will definitely be returning!

This property is clean and safe but definitely shows it's age. They need to clean-up broken items (broken hot tub, chairs and tables) and the apperance would be so much better. Food was very good and staff was very nice. We saw a sloth and toucan on properry. Decent place to stay on a budget.

Rustic if staying in the tree villas and not the main lodge. Need an suv to reach the tree villas. The villa is very spacious but isolated, if you like to live in the rain forest. Many moths/bugs attracted to lights at night. Nice during the day. Cerro Chato observation hike included. Very very difficult hike requiring good hiking shoes. Regardless you will get muddy. But the swim in the volcano crater lake is spectacular. Note: you need to cross into national park land to reach the lake ( ie trepassing) but everyone does the hike. $16 pp if not staying at the lodge. 500 meters to the Arenal Waterfall entrance. $20 per person to get in. 500 steps down to waterfall so be fit because you have to come back up. But Cerro Chato infinitely harder.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed in a three bedroom Villa for two nights and although this Villa was incredibly spacious, there were spiderwebs hanging everywhere and quite a few bugs in the villa. I do understand that you are in the rainforest and there are going to be bugs, but I just felt like the villa could’ve been cleaner. It is definitely showing its age and needs cleaning and painting on the exterior. The furniture inside seemed very random and we would’ve liked to see nightstands by the bed.Missed the mark for what we paid. The only positive was the view and the proximity to some amazing activities in the area.

The design of the property lends itself to beautiful vistas, quiet reflection and a tropical vibe. The hot tub was on the blink so was a bit bummed about that. I recommend going in to town for dinner...food was so-so but we showed up 20 minutes before closing. Breakfast was fantastic. Checking in was a breeze and the front desk guy was great.

What a great location and a beautiful place to stay. The Trogon Villa (#14) was fantastic. Great view of Fortuna. The weather was a little cloudy and colder when we were there but the kids still managed to swim in the private pool. There was a lot of space and everything was clean and tidy. I would absolutely stay there again. We were right near the hiking trail towards Cerro Chato but we ran out of time. The location is also super close to the entrance to the Arenal Waterfall hike. The staff were all super friendly. The restaurant was great also. Zero complaints.

This place is lovely. Unfortunately, the smell of mildew is how strong and unbearable. We checked in and in less than one hour we left. The smell gave a me a severe headache that took a day an a half to go away. The unit was lovely and the spaciousness was wonderful. It is unfortunate that the mildew/mold doea not get treated or contained in the properry. Teust me I travel to Costa Rica often and know that humidity can cause some smells. However, this one was so strong it gave me a headache within the first hour after arriving. Whwn i checked out, the gentleman said that he was sorry but since i went into the room that my reservation was no longer refundable. Completely unacceptable reason. I was there with my family, drove to the place, and checked in. How is going into a unit that has severe mold/mildew issues my fault? Completely unfair that they refuse to give me my money back.
