Staff was helpful. ##### Luanne Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet 28 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I think the best asset of this hotel is the staff.

This is not a fancy resort nor is it trying to be. This hotel was affordable and perfect for my family of four: spacious rooms, Good breakfast , lots of birds outside our rooms. Nice and helpful staff walking distance to town . We had a car so we did not take advantage of the many tours they were able to provide . I do regret not doing the sloth tour with Armando but we didn’t have enough time in La Fortuna. ##### Naomi Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ye 21 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities There is bird watching every morning at the breakfast area which is amazing.

They had trees right nearby with fruit hung up so that all sorts of birds came up close. Good areas to sit and read by the pool. Easy 5-min walk or less into town for shopping, groceries, pharmacy, or more food. Bathrooms were average, but rooms are spacious, with AC and a desk. ##### Christine Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Marie-Eve 20 Jan 2024 Liked: Staff & service Room was large and comfortable.

Rooms were spacious but outdated. If looking for luxury this is not the place. It is affordable, roomy, and meets needs for a group traveling. Loved the rates to book excursions through hotel also. Did many things and staff were amazing. Night tour by guide on property was worth the pictures we will have for a lifetime.

It had everything we needed as well as being great value for money. The staff were polite and friendly and showed us around the facilities on arrival. It's not 5\* accommodation but it more than makes up for it with the wildlife and views. Our room was spacious with 2 double beds, kitchenette and fridge. You can pay for breakfast with a decent choice each morning. Slightly out of the main La Fortuna area, but only a short stroll to restaurants. The main attraction for us was the location and wildlife. Mount Arenal is the backdrop where you can view it over breakfast, alongside all the wildlife that visit. We saw toucans, hummingbirds, red squirrels and woodpeckers and countless other exotic birds I can't name. There is a relax/pool area too. We booked a number of tours through the hotel and they were cheaper than booking through the providers website. I would highly recommend doing Armandos sloth tour, and he was also on hand just after sunset to take you through the gardens and point out the frogs and lizards which we'd never have found. All in all we loved our here. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/18DC8AB78D6CACE8E39C489BC9B5B45019BD468F1740752859562.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/93FF7CED3156ECB3C3A2113D20CE04DFAFDCB7591740752858342.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/F83227BBFD449640EAE4FE88944227D0042445061740752857153.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4FFC39F98B3197413343CFFCBCFC58371DE50B6C1740752857242.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha 22 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had a wonderful stay here, the staff were lovely and really helpful. The room was basic but had everything I needed, and I didn't spend much time in it anyway! Housekeeping cleaned the room daily. Lovely little restaurant upstairs serving a choice of breakfast, you can sit and watch the birds from the seating area. They put bananas up in the trees and you can see toucans, plus a variety of other birds eating them. A big shout out to Armando, who made my stay here, he's so knowledgeable and spends ages ensuring you get great photographs when you go on tours with him. I was so lucky and saw a sloth come to the ground right in front of me; I came to Costa Rica to see sloths and I still can't believe how many I saw! He would also knock on my hotel if he saw any cool wildlife (because he knew how much I loved it!), so I could go and get photos. The hotel is easily walkable to restaurants and shops and if you're feeling up to it, you can walk to La Fortuna Waterfall (I did this, be warned it's very steep! But worth it!) Thank you for a great start to my holiday in Costa Rica. Pura vida :) ##### Samantha Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelli 17 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The suite we had was perfect for our family of 6\. It was spacious, with plenty of sleeping space, hot water, air conditioning, quiet atmosphere yet still close to anything we needed in La Fortuna. We saw toucans! The kids played billiards and enjoyed exploring the property. ##### Kelli Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leena 13 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent overall stay Spacious rooms. We loved the breakfast area amidst the trees - enjoyed watching the colorful butterflies and birds all around us! Special shout out to Armando who spotted several sloths during the sloth tour and frogs during the night tour ##### Leena Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia 6 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed in various places around Costa Rica and this was our best . ##### Patricia Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lavanya 25 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Love the property and nature ##### Lavanya Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sukhdeep 14 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was very friendly and helpful and answering our million questions. The facilities were great, water and natural environment.

Location was great, short and safe walk to town (bring a flashlight or phone light). Beds weren’t the best and the sheets were musty but we slept so well and weren’t bothered by any noise. ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dierdre 5 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic place! Tucked away on a dead end road, so very quiet, with wonderful views of both the volcano and great bird watching at the bird feeding stations. We can’t recommend the Sloth tour with Armando enough. Make sure you do it if at all possible! ##### Dierdre Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela 28 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely view of Arenal volcano from the dining area. Definitely have the reception desk book all your excursions and transportation for you. They are very helpful and can get you good rates. John was very helpful in making travel arrangements for me. Just 3 short blocks from central zone of town. ##### Pamela Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Oxford South](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abingdon-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Oxford-South.h30674297.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Hertfordshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Hertfordshire-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d6046204-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Nayara Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Nayara-Gardens.h2190965.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTEL New York Times Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-YOTEL-New-York.h4182702.Hotel-Information) > > [Cloud Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Cloud-Forest-Lodge.h2050850.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-The-Royal-Corin-Thermal-Water-Spa-Resort.h2486262.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Manoa-Hot-Springs-Resort.h1671981.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Thorpeness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thorpeness-Hotels.d3000009612.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterrey-Hotels-The-Springs-Resort-And-Spa-At-Arenal.h2307339.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Downtown by Millennium](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Abu-Dhabi-Downtown.h9236359.Hotel-Information) > > [Poas Volcano Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vara-Blanca-Hotels-Poas-Volcano-Lodge.h5259118.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Los-Lagos-Spa-Resort.h1312339.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Tabacon-Thermal-Resort-Spa.h1142389.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Sant Josep de sa Talaia (IBZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/ibz/birmingham-to-ibiza) > > [Qatar Airways Lahore (LHE) to Hounslow (LHR) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/qatar-airways-from-allam-iqbal-intl-to-heathrow/qr/lhe/lhr) ### Activities ---
