Stayed for 3 days in March and found the hotel and staff to be great. The bed was comfortable and the amenities (kitchenette, bathroom) were good quality. The food in the restaurant was excellent. They have a lot of different choices for lunch and dinner and the servings were generous. Breakfast was also very good but we found it pricey for what you got. The staff - Alonso, Izak and William - were very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

Perfect hotel! You are immersed in the jungle and the scenery is amazing. Hotel was spotless, staff was friendly and helpful, food was good, great location. This was the perfect hotel for our trip to La Fortuna, I would definitely recommend it and stay here again. Each room has it's own personal hot tub on the balcony and you're surrounded by trees and flowers which makes it very private. There are stores and a couple of restaurants within walking distance as well.

Loved this little hotel with private bungalows in the jungle. We had a private tub outside of our steps down from the porch surrounded by the jungle. The restaurant was good and they had a fun happy hour at the bar. It was in walking distance to a grocery store and restaurants. They also had a short little hiking trail to the river.

For the price point during peak season, our bungalow with its own jacuzzi all surrounded by amazing flora and situated at a fair distance from other nearby bungalows, with its own on-prem cute bar, located on a relatively quiet street, about 5 minutes by car from La Fortuna waterfall, was excellent.

The room was nice and the food at the restaurant was great as well. We had an early morning excursion and they helped make sure we had our breakfast before we had to leave. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to use the amenities or take a walk down to the river. It was noisy with it being so close to the main road - making it hard for a good sleep if you are sensitive to noise. Overall I recommend it.
