We loved our stay, the room was clean, the staff were very helpful and directed us to restaurants which had wonderful foods and service. Breakfast at the Hotel was also a great experience. We would definitely recommend this hotel.
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.
What a beautiful little boutique hotel in the heart of La Fortuna. Wonderful helpful staff and great breakfasts. Room was clean and exactly what we needed. Gorgeous grounds with plenty of flowers and birds. Highly recommend!
The staff was so welcoming and helpful!! The room was clean and the beds comfortable. The pillows were very clean plump so beware stomach sleepers. We were on the second floor and took advantage of sitting on the balcony to watch the birds. Bonus - a sloth was 10’ from our breakfast table. Definitely recommend.
Wonderful property, helpful staff. We saw so many birds and even a sloth and baby from the breakfast nook. The rooms open right out into the lovely gardens and pool area. The breakfast is filling and tasty, and eaten in a covered outdoor area. Walkable to the town center. Highly recommended.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was very friendly and welcoming.
Room was clean and very comfortable.
Pool was clean and lovely too.
Breakfast was amazing!
Clean modern room. A/C worked well.
Breakfast was good, staff were pleasant.
Staff assisted with booking excursions.
View of volcano was beautiful!
Suggestion: more sitting chairs at pool area.
Basic but very comfortable room with everything you need. Very comfortable beds and showers and a beautiful view of the volcano. The drying rack is a thoughtful and useful touch!
Beautiful property. You're surrounded by foliage. Staff amazing! So helpful with everything. We stayed in a double Queen room with our kids. Mostly quiet (neighbors can be noisy). Breakfast was really good (3 options every morning with coffee, juice and fruits). This place books up so get your spot quickly. In downtown La Fortuna so easy access to everything. We'd come back!
Breakfast is typical Costa Rican fare, tasty and filling.
The room was comfortable. Noisy neighbours could be heard thru the walls, but it got quiet each night by 9.
Staff is friendly and helpful.
Very nice territory, well maintained. Amazing gardener, he has a lot of passion and love for his work - he is a heart of this garden. I am sure that plants and bird fell in love with him - the same as me.
All the stuff is really amazing- so beautiful hearts .
My big hug to all of them ! ❤️
Rooms are very big and super clean . Cleaning girls - you are amazing- these swans on the beds , despite that I was travelling alone - I felt your love to me😍
Thank you so much !
You are amazing!
