“Nice location with a beautiful view of the volcano”

Although the walls are thin and the rooms a little dated, per previous reviews - the staff made up for it. Everyone from the front desk, to the restaurant were super nice and helpful.

Although the walls are thin and the rooms a little dated, per previous reviews - the staff made up for it. Everyone from the front desk, to the restaurant were super nice and helpful. The front desk made booking excursions a breeze. The included breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The pool area was very nice with 3 different pools with differing temps. The souvenir shop was fantastic and had the best prices in town plus you received an additional discount as a hotel guest. Far enough from town to be a bit quieter, but close enough to walk comfortably. The road can be a bit noisy during the day with a lot of big trucks going by, but in the evenings they stopped.

“A nice hotel with a restaurant, bar, pool, excursion opportunities and huge souvenir shop if you have a need”

The cabins at the rear of the property are both rustic and comfortable. They have adequate amenities, towels, storage space, and nice porches facing the volcano.

The cabins at the rear of the property are both rustic and comfortable. They have adequate amenities, towels, storage space, and nice porches facing the volcano. They are far enough back from the main road that there is not any noise. The gardens in front of each unit are pleasant. The walk to the restaurant, store and open air lobby is only a few hundred feet - enough to allow you to feel you are away from the very active souvenir store (it should be called a souvenir super-store, as it is massive). The free breakfast was good - you have a choice of a local style or American style breakfast. We had early tour departures on two of the three mornings - the restaurant staff was wonderful to provide some early morning to-go meals (it helps to let them know ahead of time and they will provide plenty of fruit and toast in boxes). The lobby/front counter staff were pleasant and helpful. The work under a large overhang viewing the souvenir store and the main road. They are willing to break large USD bills into smaller bills if they have the currency on hand. Change making and answering questions were always done with a smile. The bar staff in the restaurant (who sometimes double as waiters) were friendly and wanting to please. Each had a warm greeting and smile for every patron and easily made one's day complete. While to hotel is not in La Fortuna proper, it is a short ride into town and back. It is a bit less chaotic at its location in the community. This hotel is worth considering for those that do not want to be in an urban setting or in one of the hostels in town.
