Overall, a very pleasant experience.
Pros:

We had a lovely stay at the hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always making sure we felt welcome. The garden with the pool is beautiful and very relaxing, and the location is great—peaceful and slightly away from the busy town center.

Cons:

The only thing missing is a small bar where guests could enjoy a drink while taking in the surrounding views and the Arenal Volcano.

One option to stay in La Fortuna with walking distance to everything
Pros:

They have a beautiful garden and swimming pool. The location is great, within walking distance of La Fortuna's centre.

Cons:

I was surprised that the shower water was so unstable that we had to adjust the taps constantly, either boiling hot or just cold.

We made a great choice with this one!
Pros:

This property was very well maintained with beautiful landscaping. Pool was very clean, serene with stunning view of volcano. Although dated, our room was very comfortable and clean. A/C and TV worked perfectly, good wifi and safe in room. Bathroom more than adequate. Walkable to restaurants, hot springs and town.

Cons:

In room coffee and tea kettle would have made this place even better. Seemed odd to not offer coffee in Costa Rica.

Pros:

Location, cleanliness of room, staff

Cons:

Only issue was the water temperature of the shower. You either got boiling hot or veeeery cold, nothing in between. We did mention this and we're assured someone would have a look at it, but nothing changed

Prima hotel, wel veel camera’s (is dit noodzakelijk?)
Pros:

Kamer was goed. Simpel maar netjes. Zwembad was ook fijn.

Cons:

Ontbijt was niet goed. Voor mensen uit Nederland dan. Er is verder de hele dag geen mogelijkheid om iets te eten op de locatie. Echt zonde

Nice place for families near Arenal. Wish we had stayed longer in the area to explore more.
Pros:

Great pool and dining area. Plenty of space and not too crowded when we were there in early January.

Cons:

The bathroom although spacious, had a shower that could be better

Remote nature like feel that is close to everything!
Pros:

This is a great property nestled in nature but still in walking distance to the town. It was very secure, they give you a key fob to get into the gate and park your rental car inside the property. I liked that every room was kind of like its own little house with a separate entrance and a bench outside. The breakfast was good and the daily juices at breakfast were amazing!

Cons:

We did have trouble with getting hot water in our shower at the end of our stay, however we did not complain as we were not sure if there was anything that could be done about it.
