Super Lage, persönliche Betreuung. Perfekter Aufenthalt!
Pros:

Die sehr persönliche Betreuung durch unsere Gastgeberfamilie. Angela ist eine Seele von Mensch. Nomen est omen. Armandos private Froschtour durch seinen nächtlichen Garten und seine Faultiertour mit 9 Faultieren und einem Baby werden wir nicht vergessen. Auch in einer privaten Notlage ist sofort die ganze Familie angerückt, um zu helfen. Die Lage der Unterkunft zur Stadt und der Ausblick vom privaten Balkon zum Vulkan sind super. Es gab viele Vögel zu beobachten, vor allem Kolibris..

Cons:

Jammern auf sehr hohem Niveau: eine Garderobe und ein paar Haken im Bad würden das Ganze noch ein bisschen bequemer machen…

Uiterst perfect en FANTASTISCH verblijf
Pros:

Uiterst perfect en FANTASTISCH verblijf . Een 5 sterren waard! Als ik 100/10 kon geven dan deed ik het!
Wat een warme en vriendelijke eigenaars, niets is te veel gevraagd. Je stuurt een whatsapp en hebt meteen antwoord. Zo een propere kamer heb ik zelden gehad. Mooie ruime kamer en badkamer. Leuk groot terras met frigo. Armando is super vriendelijk en geeft je gratis en voor niets een tour in de prachtige tuin van hun eigendom waar wij zelf een boa, wilde varkens, wasbeer en duizenden kikkers en andere insecten hebben mogen spotten.
Armando is een talent in het spotten van dieren maar ook een topfotograaf !
Angela is super behulpzaam en lief !
Beste verblijf dat we hebben gehad op onze reis van 33 dagen door Costa Rica!!

Cons:

Alles was TOP

Excellent place to stay and the view of the Arenal volcano was awesome.
Pros:

In town so that made it walkable to any restaurant or the Taproom. The property was very clean and everything work properly. The host was very informative and even gave a night tour to see the creatures that were hiding.

Cons:

Nothing

Modern, spotless and with an incredible view
Pros:

The hotel exceeded our expectations. It was exceptionally clean, very modern and well maintained, while still feeling cozy and comfortable. The room had a large terrace with a small kitchenette, fridge and coffee machine, and the view was simply incredible, it felt like we could almost touch the volcano. There was always hot water, plenty of towels, large and very comfortable beds, a hairdryer and high-quality bathroom products. Well done, Angela!

Cons:

Everything was excellent.

Clean room with excellent view and large balcony. The wild life and how easy it is to see it all around the hotel was amazing.

Cons:

The only fault I could find was not having a brush in the room to sweep the floor.

wir würden wiederkommen :)
Pros:

Wir hatten einen echt schönen Aufenthalt. Das Zimmer war groß und sauber. Das Beste war aber definitiv der Blick auf den Vulkan, man konnte auch immer wieder Vögel beobachten.
Das Hotel liegt zwar in der Nähe einer Straße, aber man hört so gut wie nichts. WLAN hat auch problemlos funktioniert. Die Gastgeber waren auch immer per Handy erreichbar.

Die Faultier-Tour mit Armando können wir echt empfehlen, hat sich total gelohnt. Am Abend gab’s dann noch eine kostenlose Führung durch den Hotelgarten, wo wir sogar Frösche gesehen haben.

Restaurants, Supermarkt und Souvenirläden sind ganz in der Nähe.

Pros:

Confort et propreté et équipements parfait. L’hôtel est à 10 min à pied du centre de la Fortuna.La balade avec Amandro pour la découverte des animaux et paresseux est à faire, c’est vraiment un super guide.

Cons:

Quand on arrive, l’extérieur de l’hôtel peu surprendre car cela ne ressemble pas à un hôtel mais cela n’interfère pas sur la qualité de l’hébergement.

Pros:

Room was very clean and furnished nicely. The porch deck area was a nice place to sit and relax.

Cons:

The place was located around homes where there were lots of dogs, so there was quite a bit of barking early in the morning and at night.

Volcano views and stunning room
Pros:

Cannot rate this property enough, really modern huge room and even bigger balcony with an outside kitchen on and coffee maker. All top quality finishes and everything you could possibly need. The owner is lovely and helpful and we did the night tour round the garden like others have said, lots to see. Also used the travel agent next door and trips picked up from hotel so that was great too. Nice that you can use the facilities from next door with the pool if you want. Amazing place. Only five minutes walk into town too.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing
