Everything really was perfect about our stay! Lots of nature near by, can see so many birds right outside your porch, they have a breakfast option a la cart if it did not come with your reservation, it’s close to La Fortuna and in the middle of all the good stuff, the waterfall, the spas, the town for dinner, etc. The rooms were spotless too!

Stayed as a family of 5 with tween/teen aged children. Beautiful property-the landscaping was exceptional. We could see a parrot pearched on our front porch every morning. The room was clean and comfortable. I would suggest bringing your own shampoo and shower supplies as the ones provided were low quality. Secure parking and hepful staff. Minifridge provided.

Love to stay there. Every morning we woke up hearing birds chirping, followed by great breakfast specially the orange juice they serve was beyond our expectations. Their restaurant was a great spot too, we loved their Christmas special meals.

It’s an amazing place. Quiet, peaceful, surrounded by nature. I didn’t get a chance to try the breakfast, but over all the place is great.
Expect me to return next year.

Very close to the tour meet up location through Red Lava Tours. Drivable to dinner spots but quiet enough to see so much wildlife around the property! Our tours were early so we couldn’t try breakfast that started at 7 or 7:30. Room was clean and perfect for what we needed. LOVED sitting out on the balcony while we were there

Large, clean room. Fridge, microwave, coffee maker and coffee and all the dishes needed to eat in. Several choices for breakfast and they were good. Restaurant on site that was busy for dinner. Friendly staff. Beautiful grounds with lots of birds and a great volcano view. Quick drives to town, coffee and chocolate tours, waterfall, hot springs and grocery stores. Great place for a couple of nights or longer.

Hotel was really nice and quite. It was away from the town but if you have a car, then no issues. Uber pickup was just 5 mins away if needed. We could see the Mountain right from our room in the morning. Hotel staff were really nice and accommodating.

Serenity just outside La Fortuna
We had a wonderful time! The breakfast was delicious, the location is central to all the fun activities and to La Fortuna but just outside a bit to be serene and beautiful!
