Excellent location, nestled in the forest, close to all activities. The rooms were gorgeous with great attention to details with amenities such as personal pool, jacuzzi, etc. Although it rained half the days we were at La Fortuna and we were travelling with a baby, the fact that our villa was surrounded by nature, allowed us to enjoy the rain forest vibes. The hotel and restaurant staff were friendly and considerate.

Don't eat at the restaurant!!!!
Our room was very clean and the pool was great. However, the tin roof on room 405 was extremely noisy. The rain and what ever was dropping from the trees made it vey hard to sleep. Also there were a lot of animals not too far away making a lot of noise. The restaurant is ok for breakfast if you are ok with birds eating the cereal before you get there. Evening meals....below sub par!!!!

The view at this resort was beautiful. The pool was a big hit with our family and ee werw able to get a taste of the wildlife (toucans, other birds). The rooms were beautiful, clean and spacious. The facility was well maintained. I'd recommend this resort for couples or for a family. A 15 min drive from the town center. Perfect if you have a vehicle.

Rooms are spacious and well kept. We stayed in the same room 12 years back and did not find any change in the furniture, bathrooms, and look and feel of the property.Considering we are vegetarian, dinner in the restaurant was not that great. Pool is small and could be crowded if there are lots of folks on the property.

Excellent Costa Rican experience
Vey private sprawling resort with gorgeous landscaping full of huge rainforest plants and bromeliads, plenty of space between bungalows. Great volcano view and fun pool bar. Excellent staff. Extra spacious rooms. Interior was a bit dated and not the comfiest beds. No mini fridge. Loved the private jungle view outdoor porch and Jacuzzi tub
