Hotel Lomas del Volcán

Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent
"The bungalow experience was so unique. It made you feel like you weren’t in a hotel, but truly in a hut in the rainforest. We had monkeys right outside our bungalow in the trees. The location was very close to La Fortuna and getting an uber was so convenient."
