Small, quaint hotel. Walking distance to downtown and restaurants. Room was very basic, clean, and a good size so there was plenty of room for luggage & spreading out a bit. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very tasty. Grounds and the outdoor seating area for breakfast was beautiful. The highlight was one evening when the women from the front desk knocked on everyone's door to come out to see the sloth on the property. The sloth was walking around! It looked scared so it just looked around at everyone for a while. Eventually, it climbed up the closest tree. We took lots of pictures and videos. We also saw several sloths on our chocolate and coffee tour the next day. We were going to book a sloth tour but didn't need to especially since we saw one up close!

The bed was really hard. We did tell the women at the front desk, and she told us that people either love it or hate it, but that it is very good for the back. Yet, she stated she would be happy to put us in another room with a bed that is a bit softer, but it was a smaller room. We decided not to change rooms. Believe it or not we slept fine on that hard bed, probably because we were exhausted after 2 full days of hiking.

It is a well hidden facility but once we found it and settled in we loved it! The owners were very sweet and helpful. It was a clean facility and anything we needed was available within minutes. About a 10 minute walk for great restaurants. There are always little dogs hanging around the facility and one actually walked with us out for dinner, waited for us and made sure we followed him back home.... amazing! A lovely breakfast with choices is served in a covered patio on the pond with ducks and birds welcoming in the day! We loved our experience at this Hotel! Would recommend it highly!

It rained several times while we were there but after all it is the rain forest area so that was to be expected.

The grounds were just beautiful. The staff was friendly and attentive and very patient with my basic Spanish. A small refrigerator also served as a night stand-clever! The location was perfect for a single traveler, with no rental car. I could easily walk to and from the "center" as well as several of the meeting places for local tours. I was here 8 days and only took an Uber/taxi 2 times. I really enjoyed th cabin-like rooms and I extended stay from 5 to 8 days.

As to be expected, the room was quite tight. There were 2 beds, but it's hard to imagine two people navigating much in that room.(#2) I had to remember to duck, to keep from hitting my head on the mounted TV. Again, lack of outlets is common in this country, so I adjusted. The way the room was situated, the main window was facing another window, as well as people walking back and forth, so I couldn't keep it open much for lack of privacy, which was disappointing since the room was not well lit.

The property is conveniently located near La Fortuna town center. It is clean and well maintained. The breakfast was really nice, served outside in a cozy gazebo overlie pond. The staff are really nice and accommodating. They helped me resolve an issue with personal items that were accidentally left behind. They went out of their way to help me even after we have already checked out. Thank you for the great stay and for being super helpful!

Perfect- loved location, breakfasts, and genuine smiles when chatting with me in English as my Spanish was inadequate. Bakery next door was clutch- Very nice coffee n sweet treats. Swimming pool was loved by the whole family-always available- and always just ‘us’.

Would have been nice to have more space for clothes, jackets, etc.. dresser, hangers, shelving. was hard to keep uncluttered with a family of four. Aside from that- can’t think of anything that could make this place better!!

The whole complex is very clean, the pool was very nice. It's a quiet area so not a lot of environmental noise. The breakfast was good - yet the same every morning. The water everywhere is drinkable and doesn't have any aftertaste. Plenty of parking and feels rather secure.

While it is walkable to the downtown area - it is about a mile walk. There is a grocery store just around the corner for supplies which is nice. The beds were rock hard, not sure if it's the same in all the rooms. The room needs shelves or hooks for items to not be on the floor.

The setting of the hotel is lovely. The pond with ducks, lawns and seating area was very enjoyable. The rooms were basic, but functional. The air conditioning worked well. The breakfast was tasty and there was a choice of traditional or American. It’s situated out of town so it’s quiet. Town where there are many bars and restaurants is only 15mins walk away. There’s a supermarket really close.

The beds were a little firm for my liking. You are only allowed one drink with breakfast, if you want another it’s $3.

Lovely family run compound. A bit of paradise just a short distance from the chaos of downtown La Fortuna. A creek runs nearby next to a pond beside the gazebo where you get your typical and well prepared breakfast. The rooms are clean, simple and neat. Very gracious hospitality.

The beds are a bit hard or we would have given them a 10. We would definitely stay there again.

Looking at the pictures I expected a large hotel, but this is in fact a small (6 rooms) family owned place set in spacious grounds with a lovely large pond. A stream runs right behind the hotel, attracting lots of frogs and birds. We even saw vultures in the garden. Breakfast is served in an outdoor pavilion with a great view of the grounds. The hotel makes use of the large swimming pool next door (where swimming lessons are given part of the day) Staff is really nice and helpful and the whole place is immaculate. The hotel is a short walk outside the (touristy) town center, but there is a great bakery and a supermarket right next door.

The site is really nice, with a lake, nice trees, a stream, and some wildlife passing by. The room was clean, and comfortable, with a big window facing the wood. The typical breakfast was excellent and the staff friendly, and as helpful as they could to assist me in booking tours.

Unfortunately, I could hear everything being said in the room next door.
