We had a great 3 nights here - fantastic location and comfortable accommodation.
Pros:

Lovely place with very friendly service. The cabin was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Showers are cold but seems to be the norm in La Fortuna and the breakfast was mediocre.

Beautiful property close to town
Pros:

Beautiful landscaping makes you feel like you are in the middle of the jungle even though you are still quite close to town. We saw a sloth and hummingbirds on the property which was a highlight! The staff were wonderful and helped us book tours at a discounted rate. It was nice to have a resturant on property when we didn’t want to vention far for food.

Cons:

The pool was unfortunately closed due to renovations. I wish we would have been informed ahead of time, but it was raining for much of our trip so we probably wouldn’t have used this anyways. The construction started around 7 am and was very loud outside of our room (we were the closest room to the pool).

Pros:

Super bem localizado, staff simpático e solícito. Café da manhã simples, mas bom e com algumas opções para escolher. As cabanas têm bastante privacidade com a vegetação em volta, ao estarem localizadas ao final do lote, também era bastante tranquilo, não se escutava barulho da avenida.

Cons:

A limpeza do quarto não foi feita completamente no único dia que pedimos que seja feita, não deixaram duas toalhas nem papel higiênico. Fora isso, a estadia foi muito boa.

Lovely setting, poor value for money
Pros:

On the positive side, the staff were genuinely friendly, the grounds were beautifully maintained, and the private cabana was a nice touch. The location was convenient with a car.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the drawbacks outweighed the good. The room, though spacious and clean, felt outdated and lacked comfort. Rainy weather highlighted the absence of an indoor seating area—only two hard wooden chairs on the covered patio, which were uncomfortable and uninviting. Amenities felt stingy: we arrived to less than half a toilet roll, housekeeping never provided a second, we had to ask for more, and bath products seemed leftover from a previous hotel. Breakfast was the most disappointing—tiny portions and poor quality.
Overall, while the staff and grounds were pleasant, the outdated facilities, lack of comfort, skimpy amenities, and subpar breakfast made the stay underwhelming—especially at nearly $900 for four nights.

Pros:

Randy & everyone we met were wonderful! The rooms not so much. No chairs for friends to sit, not enough hooks for towels/other items, outside chairs uncomfortable, no heated pool. There were animals in our ceilings & sometimes walls who moved around all night. We loved the area and all the excursions Randy set up for us. Very friendly & accommodating staff!!!

Pros:

צימר כיפי ונקי עם מרפסת נחמדה
שירותים ומקלחת בתחזוקה - נקי מאוד
מיטות נוחות
יש מזגן, פינת קפה / תה , מיני מקרר, כספת , הכל לשהות נעימה
ארוחת בוקר חמודה (לא גדולה מאוד)
עובדי המלון אדיבים מאוד
מסעדה של המלון - אחלה פתרון לימים שלא בא לך לצאת מאיזור המלון בערב (מעט יקר אבל טעים)

Cons:

מעט רחוק מהעיר, צריך לקחת uber אבל זה לא חיסרון גדול משום שיש סופר קרוב , יש למלון מסעדה ועוד כמה מסעדות במרחק הליכה, אם יש לך רכב אז זה מדהים זה כמה דקות נסיעה מהמרכז, בנוסף רוב האטרקציות מגיעות עם הסעה מהמלון אז זה לא חיסרון כזה גדול אם המלון לא במרכז העיר.
חוץ מזה אין חסרונות למקום.

Great stay
Pros:

This was our second destination on our itinerary in Costa Rica. I loved this place. It was spacious, clean, the grounds were so pretty with many native flora. It was a short walk to many restaurants and a short drive to the Arenal volcano.
