Hotel Rancho Cerro Azul

10/10 Excellent
"I loved staying here and am so glad I found this little gem. It’s considered off season so there was no crowding and the staff were amazing and super welcoming. The place is located close to Downtown La Fortuna and I was able to get picked up and dropped off from all my excursions. Loved having the rainstorms in the afternoon evening and even took a nap on the hammock that was on my back porch with the forest view listening to the rain and the nature sounds. I brought a mosquito net zip around that came in handy for that. I had the most amazing in house massage from Jennifer. She came to my cabin and brought warm towels and aroma with her. She focused well on all my soreness from the three days of activities. I definitely recommend anyone to come here. They have wonderful breakfast and food for lunch and dinner."
