Platanar Hotels

"Beautiful grounds, accommodating staff, great breakfast "

"We loved our stay here and only wish we could have stayed longer! The property itself is gorgeous, well-kept, and easy to navigate. We found the restaurants and pools were all within a comfortable walking distance from our room. Our 4.5-year-old absolutely loved the pool and would have been content to stay there all day. Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The staff even left a personal note and a sweet treat at check-in, which is always such a thoughtful touch. Throughout our stay, everyone was attentive and welcoming. Breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options, paired with absolutely incredible views."

"Great breakfast and it’s usually included. Beautiful property with lots to do with the family. Kids enjoyed it. Wonderful views!"

"The breakfast window is very short and early (6:30-8:30) but they offered 3 options which were all good. The property was absolutely beautiful with a view of the Arenal Volcano. "

"Absolutely Phenomenal Resort! I loved everything about my stay and I look forward to visiting again! The food and people were amazing!!"

"The place is very well laid out, with many accessible trails. However, the meals are expensive compared to other lodges we've visited. The location is excellent for birdwatching; there's a bird feeder installed, which is a real plus. However, the feeder is made of metal rods, which isn't very aesthetically pleasing for photography. It would be beneficial to redesign the feeder to incorporate natural branches, as other lodges do, which would allow for much better bird photos."

"This is a beautiful property overlooking the valley, and the bungalow had such a nice setup for a family wirh 2 kids. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, but notably the setup is to contact them through WhatsApp, with availability from morning to evening - so it’s not immediate or 24 hour support like a hotel. The pool is tiny but very sweet. The restaurant is beautiful and really a necessary amenity, bc the town is down a winding dirt road and then another 10 minutes after that. We had a couple restaurant mishaps (no eggs at breakfast, no coffee at breakfast, the meal took an hour to arrive), and the meals weren’t great, but we were grateful to sit in a nice place with a gorgeous view. Everyone is very accommodating, and we could have had dinner delivered to the bungalow too. Overall, this place is up and coming, as they build more bungalows, a real pool, some spa services, and get a reception desk going. It was real value for the money in the mean time, and I enjoyed the space, staff, and proprietor, but it’s not yet the resort experience that you may find elsewhere."

"Great"

"The staff at the hotel were very friendly and kind. The hotel has a great location accessible to many of the tours and things to do at La Fortuna. Breakfast buffet was amazing!"
