Not a fan of Hydra showers but once we learned to let them run slow it was as good and warm or hot as any shower. Could use a few hooks or bars or similar to hang up towels or clothes. Basic. Road to house could use some repair work. Nice family. Best wishes to their continuing growth and success. ##### Connie Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacie 12 Feb 2022 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great area Great place. You can walk into La Fortuna, safe area. There is a sign on a tree when you hit the dirt road - we didn't see it as it was dark and turned around but it is down the dirt road about 100 meters ##### Stacie Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynda 4 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Would happily stay there again! La Palmera was exactly what we were looking for in La Fortuna: a quiet, family run place. While it was still close to everything we wanted to access, it felt like it was in the countryside with lots of beautiful greenery surrounding. The owners were so nice and kind and the breakfast was delicious and homemade and inexpensive. The rooms were simple but very clean and tidy. We appreciated the well stocked kitchenette. ##### Lynda Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff 2 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Friendly, family run.
