If you’re looking to be in nature this is the right place to be. You can definitely enjoy the fresh air a good walk in the morning with the sound of the birds. Enjoy a good swim in the pool with a breathtaking view of the volcano. The staff is very nice.

The staff at the hotel was very friendly, and the food was excellent. We really enjoyed the Casado with chicken, one of the local dishes. The beef meals were also very good. Desserts, the coconut flan and brownie with ice cream, were fantastic. Exceptional view of the volcano and there are tons of birds on property. We really enjoyed seeing them when eating and around the pool. Rooms were clean with air conditioning, and lots of amenities.

The lodge is in on the mountain, so be prepared for a 2 km drive up to the lodge on rough road. It is 35 min from Fortuna Town, so account for additional time. The room itself was very good and views from the lodge are stunning. Breakfast was ok for vegetarians. Overall a good hotel, nice pool and jacuzzi.

We stayed in the older part of the hotel and while the view was amazing, the walls were paper thin. You could hear complete conversations of the parties in the other rooms as well as any additional noises. The property is very close to Hanging Bridges Park and is within 20 minutes of any other food or items you may need.

The drive up to the hotel was long, narrow, curvy, and unpaved. The drive from the main road up to the hotel takes at least 5 minutes so the benefit is that you are secluded and it is very peaceful but it’s a bit out there. Check in was super easy and the restaurant on site is ok. There are a few hiking trails connected to the property which I thought was pretty cool! The views from the hotel are stunning of the volcano.

Wonderful nature all around but the property itself is quite run down. All the rooms need excessive renovation and new furniture as the old sofas are pretty disgusting and are getting eaten by some sort of bugs already. The staff is nice and welcoming. The restaurant is sub-par, I recommend having dinner some place else around La Fortuna.

Very nice & quiet property, reminded us of a retreat. It is very isolated and therefore very relaxing. It's about 30 minutes from La Fortuna, and the drive up to the hotel is very rough and steep. You won't want to come & go very much as it's a bit inconvenient. The hotel itself is pretty old and dated, but our room was very big and clean. The staff were very friendly.

When we checked in there was a lady that helped us and she was phenomenal. However a male checked us out and he was abrupt, arrogant and matter of fact with me until my husband came to the counter and he was better but not as mean. The property is gorgeous. The dinner and breakfast service was a bit scrambled and all over the place. The bar service was great. They need more organization and customer service initiatives.

There are beautiful trails to walk on this property. The restaurant has excellent choices from breakfast until dinner, at very reasonable prices. It could be a little tricky to get from the chalet to the restaurant and back though: steep and slick after/during rain. Although it is an older resort needing a little TLC, our only complaint, other than the driveway up to the resort (!) is the extremely hard bed, and not much softer pillow. Those have to go!

We had honeymoon suite #220. This was probably the most fancy suite I have ever stayed. It was a separate house, the last one, on the hill. We had glass windows from top to bottom on one of the walls and partial glass on the other two looking out to the jungle. There was a private jacuzzi inside the room with a very cool area to chill after. I loved the room. The breakfast was very mediocre. The dinner was just ok. The grounds of the hotel have jungle trails but it rained the whole time and we walked just for a bit. Now, here is what you don’t read and what they don’t advertise- the hotel is about 2 kilometres from the main road. It is kind of paved road but will only fit one car at a time. It takes about 15 min to get up to the hotel and 15 min to get down. It is not a pleasure ride what’s so ever. Because it was raining and we only stayed for one night, we literally just stayed in the hotel and didn’t drive to town to explore. We just didn’t want to drive that driveway again, especially at night. Not sure if any tour companies will even pick up from that hotel. Didn’t ask but maybe so for an extra charge.

Difficult road to access the property and since there are no lights making it extremely dangerous at night.
