Pros:

The hotel is an established property. The bungalows are spacious and well landscaped for privacy.

It is close to the main part of La Fortuna. The pool area was relaxed and a nice place to hang out with our group. We saw plenty of wildlife during our pool time. The breakfast was delicious. One of the best during our stay in Costa Rica.

Pros:

Our stay at this hotel was memorable for all the right reasons. The entire property was very clean and they serve a great freshly made breakfast.
The location is excellent. It is situated 5-10min walk to one of the most beautiful beaches that we’ve visited (Playa Carrillo).
The kids loved the swimming pool. It was clean, well-kept, and a perfect place to relax.
What truly set this hotel apart, though, was the hospitality. The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—they didn’t just treat us as guests, but more like family. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care made a lasting impression and turned a great stay into an exceptional one.
We would absolutely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Walking distance to main square where lots of bars and restaurants. Behind the property there is a park where you can go for a relaxing walk. Staff are nice. Amazing breakfast. A wonderful view of the Vulcano Arenal.

Cons:

Its a good size for family, just the washroom, it needs more amenities but not a big deal.
