Wonderful stay
Pros:

My husband and I loved the resort. Great location although too foggy to see the volcano, couldn’t be helped! Room was wonderful. Had a junior suite. Not top of the line but awesome for the value. Bed was super comfortable. Great feeling of a “bungalow” type room. Hot spring pools were inviting and clean. Great staff especially Jorge. 😀

Don't do it 👎
Pros:

Ugh! Poor start, reception gal was very snarky to the client in front of us. Place looked cute, but the noise from the road was extremely loud. Limited night time lights, couldn't see to get to our bungalow as motion light wasn't working. Lots thru out were the same way. Walk ways were uneven and lack of lights made it unsafe. Our shower tile had a hole opposite the drain and water poured out, I assume under the bungalow (scary wondering when snakes or other critters could get in). Thermal pools were barely warm and dirty. No one answers the phone (used what's app) so you can make dinner reservations or to complain about above issues or that the tv/wifi wouldn't work. Best thing about this property was the massage. Overall, definitely wouldn't recommend.

Amazing location and views with exceptional staff!!
Pros:

Amazing location, great amenities, and exceptional staff! Our room was spacious and well maintained. We especially loved the creative towel animal displays each day.

The pool area was relaxing and well-kept, and the hotel’s proximity to so many excursions made exploring so convenient. The views were absolutely spectacular and made our stay even more memorable.

A very special shoutout to Jorge! He was incredibly friendly and attentive, greeting us by name and always making us feel genuinely welcome. He also has an amazing eye for spotting sloths — he became our very own sloth-spotting expert on the hotel grounds! His warmth and enthusiasm made all the difference in our experience.

Memorable Nightwalk
Pros:

We joined the free night walk with Brandon, and even though it was pouring with rain, it didn’t bother him at all. His enthusiasm was incredible — he spotted so many animals and even took the time to help us take great pictures.
We didn’t walk very far, but we saw an amazing amount of wildlife. The complimentary night walk will remain a wonderful and memorable experience for us. Thank you, Brandon!

Rainforest Paradise!
Pros:

Our travel agent selected Montana de Fuego so we were pleasantly surprised. It was a great location, secluded but near restaurants and a great coffe shope (Britt). Kenny greeted us when we arrived and did a great job making us comfortable and checking on us. The grounds were beautiful and serene, the hot springs were surrounded with foliage and flowers that force you to appreciate the beauty. We were able to get massages and treatments at the PALMA mud spa on site and that topped the whole experience off. Amanda, Martha, and Maritca were so accommodating. This was the perfect start to our girls trip celebration entering into our 50s!

Loved our stay!
Pros:

We are from Canada and traveled to La Fortuna and stayed at Montana De Fuego for 3 nights.
The hotel had beautiful grounds, with many things to explore. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. The staff were amazing and very accommodating. The breakfast buffet was good lots of variety. They had 3 mineral pools that were very nice to relax in.
We got to see a Toucan, a sloth, colourful frogs and many other beautiful birds during our stay.

We did the free night tour around the property with Brandon and was amazing we seen some cool things.
The view of the volcano was stunning from our room. In all this is an excellent place to stay and would recommend 100%

We loved it!
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay. Beautiful volcano views. Highly recommend night tour with Jorge. Service was very friendly and prompt. Hot springs were nice, though one most “hot”/warm. Did a lot of adventuring outside of the hotel but enjoy some “downtime” at the springs.

Night watch with Jorge.
Pros:

To continue my review from last evening, tonight we went on a night nature walk with Jorge. He was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and entertaining. He made sure everyone in his group got to see and photograph the animals we came across. I was very impressed how well he spoke english. The hotel is very fortunate to have an employee like him.

Don’t believe the hype
Pros:

I feel like I was completely lied to by the reviews and the photos the hotel markets itself with. My family of five is squeezed into a tiny dilapidated room where basic things like lights and the room safe don’t work (yay carrying around five passports!). And the restaurant is terrible — the thought of eating there everyday is making me genuinely upset. We saved up for years for this vacation and booking this hotel is my biggest regret. I feel taken advantage of and am considering demanding a refund and switching hotels.
