9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,004 reviews)
The location to La Fortuna was great, large room with a beautifully manicured yard and outdoor hot rub which we used. The room is dated. The bar and pools were nice. Room however smelled strongly of mildew/mold. I feel like it was overpriced.

Beautiful immaculate property. Great helpful staff, so many hot springs and pools, with really fun monkey slide. Enjoyed onsite activities like tubing, rock climbing, horseback riding (through the river was wild). And love the free laundry we can use. Food is pretty good too. Highly recommend!

Very friendly and welcoming stop close to SJO. Very characterful, the rooms are large with a great view over the valley. The extensive grounds have great walking trails - we saw an agouti - for early morning walks and a hummingbirds visible from the breakfast restaurant and the jacuzzi next to the swimming pool.
Staff are very helpful and friendly, food was good.
