The property is amazing! We enjoyed the amenities: nature trails, river, bird sightings, cabin, and clean Jacuzzi. For a fee, you can enjoy a Costa Rican breakfast including freshly squeezed orange juice and a fruit salad. We love the place and have stayed there several times.

Rancho Cerro Azul was everything one could ask for in a serene, restful, retreat. The location was perfectly peaceful and quiet with a less than five minute ride into La Fortuna. The grounds and rooms were very well maintained and extremely clean. The air conditioning was a nice break when it was humid and the hot tub was a perfect way to end each day.
