La Fortuna Arenal visit

I have a lovely stay at this hotel. The property grounds is magnificent. The birds and other wildlife that visit was a bonus! Very close to downtown walking distance to everything. The family own soda 5 ish minutes away is a must try! El salto rope is about 10 minutes away and there’s a road side popsicle, man, reminds me of every Caribbean country/island I’ve been too. 💕 The volcano was constantly covered by clouds which was disappointing as I wanted to see the peak of it from the view at the entrance. Will revisit the area in the future. Check in and out was a breeze. I had a flight delay which turned into a cancellation put a damper on my plans but I was able to contact the hotel to change dates. I also extended my trip in the area.

The stay was very good. We had visited this property in 2014 and now ten years later. The only thing we would recommend is getting faster internet as it was not always very good and getting the. television channels fixed. Besides that, the staff was very nice and everyone was kind. Thank you for making our vacation pleasant.

Our favorite stay in Costa Rica

The grounds and the pool are first class. The breakfast is a definite plus. At the end of the day around the pool we always met interesting people. We originally booked for two nights but added three more because we liked the place so much. Close to town, waterfalls, hot springs and hikes. A+++

The hotel was simple, but very clean and Good value. Grounds had beautiful gardens and nice pool. We were a family of five and was bit difficult to find accommodations w out renting two rooms. Staff was very friendly and the free breakfast daily we thought was very good. One thing Difficult was not having a restaurant on site for lunch or dinner . We did not have a car and walking to restaurants at night after returning from a tour was not comfortable for us as it’s a bit off the main road . A few restaurants delivered to us and that was sufficient. My son left his device there and the staff helped me find a way to get it back. Able to borrow umbrella, and pool towels at front desk. Can purchase beer, snacks from front desk as well.
