Everything was excellent for the price! The staff were really good, William, Nicole, & Mary! The jacuzzi was very good after long hikes & the happy hour at the bar was excellent! 😊
What made the trip was the backyard with the hot tub especially after a long day hiking doing activities, can’t beat the great price buuutttt I will say the pillows have a scent to them like not clean, the bedding lowkey smelled like wet cloths that didn’t dry completely if you know what I mean, the sink was clogged so it couldn’t be used but great prices especially if your looking for a quick one night or 2 at la Fortuna
The property is amazing! We enjoyed the amenities: nature trails, river, bird sightings, cabin, and clean Jacuzzi. For a fee, you can enjoy a Costa Rican breakfast including freshly squeezed orange juice and a fruit salad. We love the place and have stayed there several times.
The setting was great Sitting on deck surrounded by nature was sublime William at front desk was fantastic in helping in many ways The restaurant was perfect
I could NOT recommend this stay more, it was absolutely amazing. The rooms are like private bungalows that have hammocks, a hottub, and a small fridge. The bar on sight is also a fantastic place to spend some time in the afternoon. It’s extremely close to the city center, the waterfall, and other activities. I wish I could have stayed longer!! I’d return in a heartbeat.
We had an excellent stay, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Our large cabin was on the edge of the Rainforest and would choose it again. The small bar had games to play and the bartender made amazing drinks - we made this a part of our day. On site we saw a variety of birds, including a toucan. 100% recommend this property, especially for visitors with their own rental vehicle.
I accidentally stumbled into this location and boy was I pleasantly surprised! The property was beautifully maintained. Each lodge offers some privacy from others by using plant life. The tub was ridiculously large, fitting 4 people. it was quiet, peaceful, and a beautiful example of local hospitality. The staff was friendly and offered local tours (which we used). They are located very close to local sites and are within walking distance to a small market, shops, & restaurants.
Great staff, great location, we stayed in room 9 it was off by itself, our balcony looked into the jungle, the Ginger Restaurant on site has very good food, the room was clean and nice.
Everything was perfect for my group. The rooms were clean, the restaurant was delicious, the staff was helpful and friendly. Kenny at the bar was a highlight of our trip due to his positive outlook and great drinks to unwind. Additionally, the price and location was great.
Exceptional customer service (specially bartender) and atmosphere. Believe we stayed at one of the newest rooms —amazing for enjoying the rainy evening in the hot tub. It felt like home in the middle of the rainforest.
