    Good place with great wi-fi, a lovely outdoor pool, and friendly staff. I remember they helped me with a late check-out during my first stay. I'll definitely be back for Christmas!

    humid room

    A tranquil gem in La Fortuna

    My mornings began with a delightful breakfast overlooking the serene garden, and the friendly staff went out of their way to make me feel at home.

    However, the humidity in the room was challenging, and I found it hard to dry my clothes. A more consistent shower would have improved my stay.

    excellent breakfast
    friendly staff

    Target audience family with kids

    We had an interesting stay, the breakfast next door was excellent, fresh eggs, fruit, it was nice to have choices. Also, the staff was very friendly, even arranged tours for us, made everything smoother.

    It wasn’t cheap, but still acceptable.

    The staff surprised my friend with a birthday cake and card, making our stay unforgettable. The breakfast featuring avocado sandwiches was the best we ever had.

    The room was super clean and cozy. The gorgeous pool was a perfect spot to chill after our adventures. We even enjoyed evenings in the tropical courtyard with a drink in hand.

    small room
    limited breakfast options

    The location is fantastic—just a short walk from shops and dining options. The staff was incredibly helpful, especially when they provided breakfast boxes for our early departure. The room was clean and comfortable, perfect for our short transit stay. The pool area looked inviting, even though we didn't have the chance to use it.

The included breakfast was delightful, featuring a range of fresh options that set a positive tone for the day. Additionally, the pool area was a great respite after busy work hours.

    convenient location
    nice pool area
    connecting rooms
    cleanliness issue
    limited breakfast
    poor reception service

    The location was convenient, just a block from the main square. I appreciated having connecting rooms for the family, which isn’t common outside the US. Rooms were pretty but cleanliness was a major issue. I found crumbs and hair under the bedspread on check-in. The reception staff didn’t handle the situation well when I raised the concern. Breakfast was included but limited. We needed to reserve it and the choices were sparse. The pool area was beautiful, surrounded by nature, but the overall cleanliness could be improved. It felt welcoming enough but the room cleanliness left a bad impression. I'd return for the location and the connecting rooms, but I hope they get the cleaning sorted out.

    hot showers
    peaceful atmosphere
    lovely garden
    restaurant noise

    I spent three nights here and really enjoyed the hot showers and the peaceful atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The outdoor pool and lovely garden area were fantastic spots to relax and soak in the scenery. Just be mindful that some rooms might have a bit of noise from the nearby restaurant, but overall, it was a great stay! 🌞
