Great place with kind staff in a walled garden setting just a few blocks from the center of La Fortuna. Breakfast starts early so you can make tours and they'll box breakfast if you need that. Pool is small, but fine. Rooms are large with great AC.

Nice place, great breakfast, you can see a lot of birds during the breakfast and even saw sloth on the parking lot. Cons: no soundproofing, we had to listen our neighbors and their TV. But it was quiet in the night. Also, some construction was going on during the day but we were out.

Amazing! As our first time in Costa Rica we were nervous but from the beginning the hotel was so friendly and welcoming. It’s near the town with nearby restaurants you’re able to walk to. They have three different breakfast plate options and are very fulling. We had the king master bedroom and it was very nice. The pool wasn’t crowded at all, sometimes we had it all to ourselves! Amazing!!

We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Secreto in La Fortuna! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was wonderful, and the rooms were beautiful. The grounds are gorgeous, with perfectly manicured lawns and lush greenery. One of the highlights was seeing sloths hanging out in the trees in the morning! The location is fantastic, close to everything but still peaceful and relaxing. The only small downside is that the walls are a little thin, so you can hear your neighbours at times. But honestly, that wouldn’t stop us from staying here again. Such a lovely little hotel! We would absolutely recommend it!

This is easily one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The morning breakfast options were excellent and very quick and you can bird watch while you eat. Easily the best free hotel breakfast I’ve ever had. The staff of the hotel are so nice and helpful. The night guy (can’t remember his name) was always so nice and even helped us find one of the sloths one night. The day-shift lady helped translate to one of the tour guides. The laundry service offered by the hotel was fast and affordable. The grounds were meticulously maintained. The hotel was quiet. Parking was ample. The volcano views were awesome. It was close to everything in town you could need but on a really quiet residential street. I cannot say enough nice things about our 4 night stay at Hotel Secreto.
