"I stayed here for three nights. The first two nights were great, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, my last night raised serious safety concerns for my family. I had to wake up early the next morning for a six-hour drive to Manuel Antonio, but around 1:00 AM, the unit next to ours started playing extremely loud music. A visibly intoxicated couple was yelling and screaming with no regard for others. I attempted to call the front desk multiple times, but there was no answer. After about 30 minutes, I open the door and yelled out if they can turn it down.. Unfortunately, another 30 minutes passed with no change. I tried calling the front desk again, as well as the emergency line, which shockingly went straight to voicemail. Around 3:00 AM, I approached the unit again, and the situation escalated. The individual became aggressive and attempted to provoke a confrontation. This only made things worse, as the noise continued even louder afterward until 5A. At that point, I felt completely helpless not only unable to get any rest, but also genuinely concerned for the safety of my wife and children. While the property itself has potential, the lack of responsive staff and proper security during a situation like this is unacceptable. I would strongly recommend considering other resorts, especially if safety and support during emergencies are important to you."

"Clean room, very attentive and friendly staff. Loved that we had a choice of breakfast with fruit to start us off with. Also had a choice of juice, coffee or water. Convenient to downtown La Fortuna."

"My wife and I recently stayed at Hotel Sanctuarium for 5 nights for her birthday and 5 stars doesn’t express how much we enjoyed staying here. Every staff member from the front desk to our personal concierge to the restaurant/bar staff was top notch. They greet you everytime you enter the property, they decorated our room for my wife’s birthday, they give you tours around the hotel, they notify you when a macau is in the trees, etc. they take care of all the little details that made an amazing experience. Genesis and the restaurant staff were so friendly and welcoming Everytime we stopped by for coffee and a delicious meal. She made us feel as if we were friends before our stay! Yeraldin, Kevin and all the staff were incredibly nice and made us feel so at home while staying with them. They answered any question we had, opened the door for us EVERY time, and brought the nighttime tea to our door every night we asked. One of a kind service and attention to detail. For a new hotel, they are as experienced an anyone out there! Highly recommend anyone to stay here and you won’t be disappointed. The property is gorgeous, not overly crowded, wildlife walking around constantly, and offer couple massages down by their private river oasis! Thank you everybody from Hotel Sanctuarium. Pura Vida!

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Base for Exploring La Fortuna If you're planning a trip to La Fortuna, this hotel checks every box. The location is unbeatable — just minutes away from the Arenal Volcano, stunning waterfalls, and the heart of La Fortuna city. Everything you came to see is practically at your doorstep. The rooms are large, spotlessly clean, and fully air-conditioned — a true comfort after a long day of exploring. You come back and immediately feel at ease. Breakfast is included and genuinely good — a great way to fuel up before heading out on adventures. The amenities are a highlight in themselves. After a day of hiking and sightseeing, the hot tub on the property is an absolute treat for tired muscles. And the cold water pool is refreshing and invigorating — the perfect contrast, especially in the Costa Rican heat. Highly recommended."

"The stay was a highlight of COSTA RICA travel. This property gives you a chance to enjoy the combination of a wonderful hotel stay (with breakfast included) and hot springs. Take time and enjoy hot springs in combination with cold water swimming pools. You can spend 2-3 hours in the evening, and same time in the morning just after your breakfast. "

"I was pleasantly surprised, the photos online were pretty but once we got there the views were breathtaking. We took so many pictures of the volcano and the lake but still could not capture the beauty this location offers. The rooms and property were clean, the staff was friendly and helpful. My favorite part was coming back to our room to find a new animal crafted with towels everyday, we were there for 8 days, I thought they'd run out of ways to fold the towels but they didn't. I highly recommend this place. Thank you to everyone working at Hotel Linda Vista for making my stay so pleasant."

"Great staff. Rooms are clean. Beds were too soft I thought. Breakfast was great."

"It’s a very 3 star hotel, American standard wise. Old furniture. Parking is an issue."

"Nice and helpful staff. Good breakfast buffet options. Gorgeous views of the nature and the volcano. Only I wish the restaurant on site wasn’t so expensive…"
