We really enjoyed our stay here for 3 nights. The hotel is in an excellent location close to restaurants and very easy to get to the volcano hike using Uber or a car. The room was very clean and spacious with everything you would need. The hotel garden is really nice and you can see various wildlife. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. There are plenty of restaurants near the hotel so dinner was never an issue. Great alternative to staying in La Fortuna. We would stay here again. Thank you!

Gem of a property hiding behind ruta 702 at Lafortuna. Room was big enough. Only problem we faced was with the shower. They don't know how to regulate hot and cold water. It is either hot or cold. Nothing in the middle. Tall roof gives the feel of roominess. Roof is wood and has a rich feel.

The cabana style room provided a great atmosphere for the property and the surrounding plants and trees make you feel like you're on the doorstep of the rain forest. Pool and on-site restaurant are nice. Plus many local restaurants within walking distance.
