Would definitely stay again!

We had a lovely stay at Hotel Secreto in La Fortuna. The staff were amazing! Very friendly and attentive to our needs. It's tucked away a bit off the main street, which made for a mostly quiet stay. The only issue was the roof work being down on a Sunday, which we planned as our rest day from excursions. It had to be done, but we wished it was done on another day. The staff was very apologetic about it, which we appreciated. The hotel is conveniently located to many great activities, suited to whatever level your sense of adventure! Also within walking distance to many great restaurants. We would stay there again!

Beautiful surroundings with a good view of the Volcano, the hotel is very clean with comfortable rooms and a lovely spacious bathroom and shower, a nice pool area, great breakfast with three options to choose from. All the staff were very friendly but Wdilvis and Fabricio who manned the desk were extremely helpful and very friendly at all times, a special thanks to Wdilvia for organizing our trips, especially the Baldi hot springs, they were wonderful, I would highly recommend this little jewel and would definitely go there again.

Perfect Location for La Fortuna. Although Hotel Secreto is right in town it feels like you are in the country. They feed the birds in the mornings and which is very entertaining to see.

Absolutely wonderful resort!

The two gentlemen working the front desk truly were more like concierge’s. They were in constant contact with me as this was my first trip to Costa Rica with my son. They arranged all of the activities the driver to pick us up from the airport. Breakfast was absolutely wonderful gorgeous layout. My only disappointment was with Hotels.com as we had to leave a day early which we knew long before our trip due to work schedule and they wouldn’t let me change the reservation. I had to cancel it entirely, but then I wrist not getting this hotel again this hotel great location. We walked everywhere to dinner. Would definitely stay there again.

This hotel looked amazing in the photos, which hardly did the spot justice. There was a garden in the center of the property with a pool and patio area and many exotic plants. Breakfast (three options) was served in a open air patio area. The staff put fruit out to encourage the birds to visit, providing a colorful, entertaining show. Our room was brand new, with a semi-private balcony. It was very quiet and felt safe and secure. There were both a two toed and a three toed sloth in residence in trees next to the hotel, which was exciting since we had not seen any on our trip to Costa Rica to that point. So happy we stayed there!

Oustanding La Fortuna Location!

Outstanding location in the heart of La Fortuna. 3 minutes walk to downtown restaurants and shops. Beautiful gardens in the Courtyard that feel like you are in the Rain Forest (well, technically you are!). Accommodations are simple but clean. Everything works, and the Air Conditioning is very pleasant.
