Great location and wonderful staff. The rooms were amazing and the daily breakfast was enjoyable.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Really lovely hotel that I would stay at again. It was well located for us to get to all the different activities La Fortuna had to offer, with the reception staff incredibly helpful with booking the different things to do. The room was nicely furnished and comfortable and when we had an issue with one of the doors, it was promptly sorted. You also got to see lots of wildlife, which was another bonus. The pool was also lovely along with the pool table area etc. The restaurant was nice, though admittedly it sometimes felt like the kitchen prioritised the look of the food over the taste of it and for the price we would've expected slightly more here. Otherwise a great hotel.

Great property and felt like we were in the jungle with everything in walking distance. The pool and cold plunge were amazing. Breakfast was also perfect for our group every morning. There was also music at the restaurant in the evening which was a treat. Would return for sure!!

Noah’s Forest was extraordinary from the moment we stepped on to the property. They’ve really nailed down “taking care of all the details!” The whole property is breathtaking. The grounds were manicured to perfection, the ambiance was serene and magical, and the room was fantastic! More than the visual beauty of the entire property, the thing that made our stay so wonderful was the staff! At the front desk, Cristel was very welcoming and ensured we had everything to start our stay off right, and Adrian and Aaron helped us two separate times to book activities on short notice. The restaurant was also fantastic! Tatiana greeted us each day as friends, Josue was fabulous and we enjoyed learning our daily dose of Spanish from him, Oscar made delicious drinks at the bar and delivered them with a genuine smile, and then on the last day, Steven went above and beyond to prepare us breakfast for the road. I cannot recommend this place enough!

We had a great stay at Noah’s Forest. The entire property is very well designed with beautiful landscaping throughout. Our room was well designed and the bed was great. We particularly enjoyed our private hot tub. The onsite restaurant is also good and we really enjoyed the live music that they had on one of the evenings of our stay. The staff were all extremely nice and eager to help. The location was great too as it was close and a quick Uber ride away from downtown la fortuna. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for the hospitality!
