"My partner and I booked this property however when we arrived at 7pm, there was a large gate blocking the entrance and no one was there. We tried and tried to call and message the property and never received a response. La Fortuna is somewhat out in the country without many on the spot lodging options. It took us until 945 pm before we were able to get a far from desirable accommodations. We were preparing to sleep in our car by that time. We have yet to receive a refund or response. There...

"The staff was all around fantastic and hospitable. The place was as clean as could be. I did not like finding clean towels sitting on top of dead bugs. The garden, pool, and small trail were absolutely gorgeous!!!! It was a nice view to wake up to."

We had such a wonderful stay at this property! The owners, a lovely Swiss couple, are truly kind and beautiful people who made our experience feel incredibly warm and personal. They went above and beyond to make our stay special, and it really showed in every detail.
The kids absolutely loved the heated jacuzzi—it was a highlight for them! And the breakfast each morning was delicious, fresh, and clearly made with care.

"Staff was beyond amazing. They helped us out tremendously during a stressful middle of the night travel situation. It's not luxury but it's very convenient, clean, bed was comfortable, free shuttle to airport and the staff was wonderful."
"Brian and Orlando were so helpful along with all of the staff. The tours, facility, and rooms were all amazing. Everyone should experience this location."
"La experiencia estuvo excelente, el personal muy agradable, el lugar es precioso. El abanico de la habitación no servía pero fuera de eso, hermoso lugar."
"This was a great hotel to stay at the night before our flight out. The airport shuttle was fast and efficient. Breakfast was delicious. The grounds are beautiful and it's hard to believe you are so close to the airport. It feels like you are staying at a hacienda. This was our second time staying here and we would stay again."
"Absolutely everything was perfection. The welcome, the extras, the room, the ammenities, the grounds, the spa, the food, and most of all the staff; for making our experience unforgettable. We were so spoiled and it was so beautiful, we never wanted to leave. Except maybe to try their sister resort, The Springs. We even met the owner, who happened to be in town, and he was delightful. Definitely coming back and letting everyone know this is the place to find peace and luxury in Costa Rica."
Las Carmelas, Airport Juan Santamaría, Alajuela, San José
10/10 Excellent
"We had an excellent stay and would absolutely return on our way back to San José!
The property is absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous tropical plants everywhere you look. One of our favorite spots was the peaceful meditation lounge overlooking the koi fish and the magnificent mango tree—it was the perfect place to relax and unwind after traveling.
Breakfast was delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. They made us feel right at home.
The only minor downsides were that the exchange rate offered for currency wasn't any better than what we could get at the airport, and the airport transfer was more expensive than taking an Uber. Neither issue took away from our overall experience, but they're worth knowing in advance.
Overall, this was a wonderful stay. The beautiful grounds, tranquil atmosphere, great breakfast, and exceptional staff made it a place we'd happily recommend, and we look forward to staying here again on our next trip through San José."
