The grounds here are magnificent. By far the highlight. Tons of flowers, birds and a stream at the back of the property. Really lovely. The rooms leave a lot to be desired though. We were disappointed that housekeeping came into the room when we had requested them not to, and ended up taking away items that we wanted to keep (water bottles for electrolytes, and bags for wet clothing). Lots of light comes in the windows and around the door and you can hear the birds and monkeys starting very early. So, spend as little time in the rooms a you can. The shower and bathroom were quite dark and the toilet didn't flush well. Breakfast was a $10US add on. Good the first day, not good the second but it's a nice area to watch the birds and flowers. We used Uber to get to town - about $5US each way.

We visited this hotel as part of a tour of Costa Rica. It definitely didn't live up to the other hotels on the tour. There were numerous deficiencies, including no toilet paper holder. a shower that sprayed like one in a CLR ad. TV did not work, poor satellite and WIFI reception, lack of maid service, missing light bulbs, threadbare towels, and more. The breakfast was adequate. however staff started putting the food away a good half hour before the stated end time. The grounds were well kept and we saw toucans and other birds. The maintenance person, Diego, who changed out the TV remote and cable boxes, was helpful. Otherwise the staff were indifferent to say the least. When we told them the wifi was out, we were told to try a different network. There were only 2 and neither one worked. Don't stay here unless you have to!!

Nice accommodation somewhat outside of La Fortuna. Small but inviting swimming pool, beautiful gardens, near a river. We did not stay in one of the villas but in the new apartment building which was comfortable and had a good shower. Very nice breakfast location, al fresco, with possibility to spot birds. Breakfast was comparable to other places, fruit, rice and beans, toast, coffee/tea, scrambled egg... Unfortunately, we were unlucky with the weather, we did not see anything of the volcano unfortunately, otherwise the stay would have been even better. A disadvantage is that there is no restaurant and no supermarket or minimart on-site. The smokehouse opposite of the street is the only restaurant nearby and a good option though.

This is a lovely place to stay at. Next to a stream, with plenty of wildlife in the garden. We saw iguanas, a sloth in a tree, plenty of birds, and heard and saw howler monkeys. Low key and eco-friendly with nice owners. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice staff, buffet breakfast amusing as they pit fruit out to entice the birds. Beds comfortable, with small balcony, 2 queen beds as we were friends. filter coffee and small fridge, hot water pressure good. Pool towels provided, pool great after a day hiking. Just opposite accommodation, great bar and restaurant, Mary’s Smokehouse for cocktails, snacks or a meal. For three nights, perfect as quiet yet close to attractions and parking on sige.

A budget hotel. The pool was small, but still nice. Breakfast was included. There were no lunch or dinner options, and you need to book an Uber to go into La Fortuna (don't book a taxi). There is a water tank where you can refill, but you need to bring a bottle. Bring your own shampoo, soap, and conditioner. Great view of the volcano from the breakfast area.

Family run , super nice. Meals were always hot and fresh. AC worked great. Lots of birds and lizards. Hummingbirds everywhere 😊. You are out in the country so expect bugs and ants while your out and about. Would stay here again.Pool was nice after a long day of hiking.

This hotel offered: - good air con - decent breakfast options - good room size with fridge, coffee maker and fast WiFi - lovely cool pool We used uber to get into town as this hotel is too out of the way to be walkable when it’s 30c!Trips cost around £4 each way and £5 to Baldi Hot Springs. The manager/owner Laura has an eccentric personality akin to Basil Fawlty 😁
