Mooi gelegen complex, huisjes aan renovatie toe, uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet.
Pros:

Groot complex met huisjes zo’n 2 km vanaf het gezellige dorpje La Fortuna. Mooie ligging in een park. Wij kregen huisje 104. Ruime en schone kamer en badkamer. Klein terrasje ervoor met een zitje en (buiten) een koelkast. Airco slim geplaatst, komt alleen traag op gang. Bed is lekker stevig en fijne kussens. Wifi werkt prima. TV en kluisje aanwezig. Grote zitbank, waar je evt ook de koffers kwijt kunt. Groot zwembad met ligstoelen aanwezig, maar is erg gedateerd. Gratis badlakens bij de receptie. Ontbijtbuffet is zeer uitgebreid in gezellig ingericht restaurant.

Cons:

Helaas een douchegordijn. Het interieur is toe aan renovatie. Geen sfeerverlichting. Gordijnen sluiten niet zo goed af. Gedateerd zwembad.

A beautiful location, away from the tacky touristy center of La Fortuna
Pros:

Everything was close together, it was across the street from a decent restaurant, it was a five minute drive to the middle of La Fortuna. The property is covered with beautiful flowers and plants. It has a pool. The food for breakfast was delicious. And the people and the service in the front desk were exceptional.

Cons:

Nothing that I can think of.

Je le recommande.
Pros:

Emplacement près de la ville mais retiré. Petit havre de paix et près de la faune (avons vu plusieurs grenouilles près du ruisseau, singe hurleur et toucan). Buffet apprécié, on a le choix et variété.
Très propre et neuf.

Cons:

Manque de crochet dans la chambre!

Décevant
Pros:

Pas grand chose !!!
Après un changement de chambre pour cause de fuite au plafond, la seconde a le même problème, plus odeur d’humidité, moucherons d’humidité dans la pièce, serviettes de piscine déchirés et mange aux mites.
Seul l’emplacement et la piscine semblent être la raison du nombre d’étoile.

Cons:

À ne pas recommander

Great stay!
Pros:

We had a very comfortable stay, the hotel is very clean. We particularly enjoyed the balcony over looking the garden and the birds. The restaurant was also very pleasant in a garden setting. Breakfast was fabulous.

Cons:

It would have been nice to have complimentary coffee in the room so we could make a drink.

Our room was clean and comfortable. Grounds were manicured and lots of beautiful birds I'm unfamiliar with. Breakfast was good. It's a short walk to the center and we felt safe at all times. The folks at reception were very welcoming.
