Pros:

Our stay was wonderful although the restaurant is not onsite walking to the restaurant was just a few mins (2-3 mins) which was wonderful and made sense since the restaurant has a beautiful location where one can watch birds and take a walk for free, or pay for a tour and go watch other birds and have a tour guide walk you through the place. The retreat is nearby La For tuna and many food options which I highly recommend trying several Soda places which are where locals go to eat.

Pros:

Fortuna retreat was beautiful. The grounds were amazing. You’re close enough that you can walk to a small market or in the first small town to grab dinner. Fortuna is only 2 km away and there’s so many things to go see and explore in the town. We recommend Terra Mia restaurant. The eco lodge down the road where you eat breakfast has an amazing butterfly enclosure you can visit and a small trail around the property

Pros:

I would totally recommend staying here! Very clean, beautiful property, very spacious rooms. Amazing volcano view. A small common area with microwave, water boiler, etc. Small but clean pool. Very good soda just around the corner. Breakfast is in another hotel, but was okay.

The perfect getaway
Pros:

Fantastic accommodation - we stayed in one of the villas with a pool, which was very reasonably priced for what you get. Everything was perfect - lovely outdoor space with a wee pool to cool off, comfy bed with a great view of the Arenal volcano and a huge bathroom that felt outdoors due to the floor to ceiling windows. Staff were very lovely and full of recommendations for the local area. Breakfast at a nearby hotel was simple but tasty and ideal to get you started for the day. All in all the perfect getaway to discover all of the amazing things to do in and around Fortuna. Thank for a great stay!

Pros:

The rooms are large and beautiful with an amazing view of the volcano. The lush garden and the nice pool make it perfect to relax after a day full of fun activities at La Fortuna. The bathroom and shower are luxurious. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast just a 2 minute walk to the neighbouring hotel is decent, enough to fill you up for the morning, and you can bird watch as you eat, as you are surrounded by nature. There is also a nice restaurant (soda) just around the corner. We loved our stay there.
