Loved the private jacuzzi and our room. Had some ants on the ground but everything was good.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

This place is magical, with secluded cabins with huge beds, coffee makers and refrigerators, and outdoor hot tubs shrouded in banana trees.
Great landscaping! Absolutely wonderful premises. Very friendly and helpful staff.

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.
Loved the private jet the on the patio! Loved the bar and restaurant on site! Loved to be within walking distance of 2 more dinner restaurants! Loved location to other locations! Loved NOT being in the actual downtown La Fortuna, this was much quieter!
Great shower, really worth the price point, good location and wifi - had a problem with the lockbox initially, rooms get very very loud overnight if it rains
