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.

Beautiful hotel with nature included
Pros:

Our room was at the end of the property surrounded by nature. It was such a great place to stay. Very clean. Excellent restaurant which made the included breakfast even more valuable. The room was really nice and the staff is helpful.

Cons:

Our only complaint was that the bed was REALLY firm. Which of course is a personal preference. It wouldn't stop us from booking here again!

Hele fijne verblijf. Zeer ruime kamers, top personeel, fijn ontbijt, mooie tuinen en goede parkeergelegenheid
Pros:

Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzame personeel. Fantastische tuin en mini bosje langs het water.

Cons:

Wij hadden 4 kamers geboekt. In 1 kamer lekte de airco behoorlijk en deden de lampen het ineens niet meer. Andere kamer zeer harde hoofdkussens en een hoop herrie van de airco apparaat op dak wanneer die aan stond. Desondanks, een hele fijne verblijf gehad. Zeer tevreden vertrokken
