We stayed here as a family of five (with kids aged 13, 8, and 5), and it was a wonderful experience. The pool was perfect for our kids—just the right size for them to enjoy and play safely. The location is great too; it's within walking distance to downtown La Fortuna, which made exploring easy and fun. The daily breakfast was delicious and a great way to start each day. We would absolutely stay here again as a family!

Great hotel with lovely plants and greenery

Hotel was very nice - the premises were very beautiful with each cottage having its own veranda with beautiful foliage. Room is a bit small but very comfortable. Location is also very good. Breakfast was tasty.

Great location wonderful stay

We had a fantastic stay. The staff was kind and helpful, breakfast was delicious Every morning, the pool was our favorite part. Grounds were lovely and we were able to see beautiful flowers a little bit of wildlife, lizards, and birds and snakes. It was close enough to town that we could walk but far enough away that it was quiet And peaceful. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but we are quite picky about sleeping accommodations.
