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 .

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 ### 6/10 Okay #### hans 30 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Good service, friendly staff, good area, a bit noisy from the other rooms and the front office, a litte ugly smell in the room and the water pressure at the shower is a shame ##### hans Stayed 2 nights in Nov 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kathleen 6 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Centrally located but receptionist tried to get us to pay in cash at a higher rate than listed on Expedia ##### Kathleen Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### If you love nature, you'll love this hotel We loved our stay at this hotel. 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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [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) > > [Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Tabacon-Thermal-Resort-Spa.h1142389.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) > > [Nayara Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Nayara-Gardens.h2190965.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) > > [Hotel Kokoro Mineral Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Kokoro-Mineral-Hot-Springs.h3073878.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.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) > > [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) ### Flights > [Flights from Windhoek (WDH) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/wdh/lhr/windhoek-to-london) > > [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 London (LHR) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/qatar-airways-from-allam-iqbal-intl-to-heathrow/qr/lhe/lhr) ### Activities > [Things to do in Tewkesbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Tewkesbury.d5710.Travel-Guide-Activities)
