Pros:

Amazing breakfast and beautiful property (next to a river and surrounded by nature). Within walking distance of the city center, which is a huge plus since parking in the city is horrible.

Pros:

The restaurant had fairly limited options but everything we tried was very good.
The view of Arenal (when there were no clouds) was very nice.
The position, in the middle of La Fortuna dowtown, allows to reach by foot shops and restaurants.

Cons:

Some traffic noise as the hotel is very close to one of La Fortuna downtown streets.
