Hotel cercado da natureza

A localização é ótima! O restaurante do hotel fica de frente para o vulcão.

Seria bom se tivesse secador de cabelo nos quartos. E se ao invés de cortina de plástico, tivesse box no banheiro.

Prima plek als uitvalsbasis voor bezoek aan vulkaan en hotsprings en de luiaards ;-)

Veel mogelijkheden, top plek met uitzicht op de vulkaan. De tocht met de gids Armando is een absolute aanrader als je luiaards, toekans, kikkers etc wilt zien.

Verouderd gebouw en faciliteiten net als de douche. Ook ontbijt hebben we elders veel beter gehad.

Pésimo servicio y peor experiencia con un hotel

La peor experiencia que he tenido con una reserva… reservamos el mismo día que era el hospedaje, nos llegó la confirmación por correo y por la aplicación… llegamos 30 minutos antes de que finalizara la hora del check in indicado en la Aplicación de booking; para indicarnos que nos habían cancelado la reserva, que la recepción ya había cerrado y que él ya se iba (nos dijo el muchacho de la recepción) porque me estuvieron llamando para reconfirmar y no contesté (el celular se había descargado) … si uno hace la reserva no debe tener que reconfirmar por otro medio la reserva, más que la politica de cancelación no lo permite de forma gratuita; es decir, llegue o no llegue uno, igualmente le pueden aplicar a uno el cobro, por lo que el hotel no va a perder dinero; por lo que no se justifica el actuar del hotel. Después de un rato de conversar con el de la recepción, y pensar inicialmente que nos estaba molestando, nos damos cuenta por un tercero que está escuchando que es que acaba de vender la habitación a otra persona, si no es que el tercero da marcha tras, nos quedamos sin donde pasar la noche y tener que buscar en la noche donde quedaron. Importante mencionar que el hotel me canceló la reserva únicamente por WhatsApp y no por la aplicación, lo que lo hace a uno suponer que esperaban que no llegáramos para cobrar doble por la habitación… a parte el de la recepción nunca se disculpó, nos habló con un tono molesto y ni si quiera modales como para responder “con gusto” cuando nos esta cobrando y damos las gracias, a pesar de la situación tan fea…

Chambre très moyennes mais services et piscine cool. Le resto vaut vraiment le détour !

Les parties communes de l'hôtel (piscine, accueil billard, restaurant) sont très agréables. La vue sur le volcan du resto est top. Le restaurant vaut vraiment le détour, la meilleure nourriture qu'on ai eu en 25 jours de voyage au Costa Rica, bravo aux chef et prix OK.

La chambre... malheureusement lits pas confortables, très humide et très peu lumineuse. Pas de déco et lumière très froide. On était proche du ruisseau ce qui a peut être joué sur l'humidité

Loved my stay here

Everything! The location was close to town but felt like it was in the middle of the jungle. The staff were lovely. I loved the view over Arenal Volcano from the restaurant. It seemed to be quite clear, very early in the morning at breakfast.The sloth tour with Armando was amazing. I also did 2 night walks to spot frogs with him, and they were great. He has a real passion for wildlife.

There was a bit of noise from other rooms.

Toller Aufenthalt.

Es war super gelegen und dennoch total im Dschungel mit wunderschönem Ausblick direkt auf den Vulkan! Der Mitarbeiter war super freundlich und hat uns alles gezeigt. Man kann abends noch gemütlich in toller Atmosphäre am Pool sitzen. Wir würden wieder kommen.

Es gab nichts auszusetzen.

Close to the Arenal volcano!

The hotel is well located, close to the different activities around the volcano and close to la fortuna city center. The staff is attentive and helpful.

It is quite humid and the facilities are basic. I had a room on the ground floor that was quite dark.

Perfect stay and perfect in-house tours by Armando. Great place!

Location was great. Close enough to everything but out away from the noise. The pool area is amazing and the tours done by Armando made our experience even better. The breakfast is cheap and delicious with an amazing view of the volcano as you eat breakfast. The room was very large and had everything we needed. Staff were friendly and very helpful and the room was very clean.

Nothing....great place

Exceptional value in a prime location and friendly staff

The value for this hotel was exceptional! It is in a prime location with a short walk to the shops and restaurants in La Fortuna, the staff were very friendly and showed us around the property before taking us to our room, and the room and beds were comfortable during our stay.

The birds are very active early in the morning around 5am and the walls are thin, so be sure to bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper.

Excellent stay in La Fortuna

Absolutely gorgeous property with more improvements in the works. So much wildlife around, including lizards and birds. The pond and the pool are comfortable areas to spend time. Amazing views of Arenal and easily walkable to anywhere in La Fortuna. Comfortable, large, well-equipped rooms and a delicious breakfast available for a good price. Our room was upgraded to one of the large, upper floor rooms in the annex building that had a kitchenette and a direct view of the mountain. Would stay again without hesitation.

The walls were a bit thin and we got unlucky with consistently loud neighbors. Earplugs were a necessity.

Very good value for the money

The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially when it came to organising tours (I highly recommend the sloth tour with Armando) - they don’t try to sell you anything you don’t need. Breakfast was great: You can choose between a few options and enjoy it on the terrace while watching all kinds of birds visiting the feeding stations.

There’s a club/discotheque close by - the music was rather loud in the evening. That said, nothing my earplugs couldn’t handle.

Breakfast with birds and squirrels

At the end of a road, directly at the forest and with an astonishing view on the Vulcan , the lodge is perfectly situated. The breakfast with the dozen of birds and squirrels is a highlight. Rooms are clean and spacious, beds are comfortable, staff is very friendly and you can book every kind of tours and activities at a reduced price. A very good place to stay at La Fortuna!

Great place away from town centre

Excellent location, fantastic bird and wildlife viewing from the restaurant patio, good included breakfast, well appointed rooms albeit a bit dated. Great coffee. Enjoyed other meals at the restaurant. Excellent tour suggestions, free ice.

Did not jump in the pool, so cannot comment on it. Good common area around it though. We are early risers so breakfast starting at 7 is a bit late for us.

Bon séjour dans cet hôtel

Le cadre La salle du petit déjeuner ouverte sur le volcan et la nature Les petits déjeuners extras ! La gentillesse du personnel de l’accueil et le temps passé pour nous conseiller Le prix des entrées des parcs très intéressant (à prendre avec l’hôtel) Bien placé pour aller au centre à pied et au volcan en voiture (30mn) L’eau chaude de la douche !

L’odeur de renfermé dans la chambre Chambre très spartiate (mais suffisante pour 2 nuits) La dame qui gère le petit déjeuner pas sympathique du tout (le monsieur était très agréable et serviable) Petit déjeuner trop long (45 mn le 1er jour et 1 h le second) … ce qui nous a retardé

Super miejsce ale uwaga na wilgoć w pokojach

Genialna lokalizacja, niedaleko do centrum La Fortuna, ale pod samym lasem. Fajna restauracja hotelowa z genialnym widokiem na drzewa i egzotyczne ptaki. Uprzejma obsługa.

Niestety hotel jest na terenach podmokłych i w pokojach mocno czuć pleśń. Obsługa udostępniła nam oczyszczacz powietrza ale i tak osoby z alergią na grzyby powinny tego miejsca unikać.

Perfect place to stay in Fortuna

The room was large and beds comfortable. Loved the ability to make coffee in our room Staff was amazing! Our room was cleaned daily. The young men at the desk were incredibly helpful booking activities and further travel. Armando is fantastic and we recommended his sloth tour to others we met The highlight was eating breakfast while watching a fabulous assortment of birds that came to the feeders

Paesaggio da cartolina

L’hotel è in una posizione meravigliosa! Fare colazione (ottima)con il vulcano sullo sfondo insieme gli uccellini e gli scoiattoli vale il soggiorno! Il personale è gentilissimo, l’hotel offre pure sconti per le attività sul territorio. Ottimo e consigliato!

Incredible view at breakfast; great hotel!

- Delicious breakfast. The breakfast / dining area has an amazing view. They feed local birds a few metres from where you eat and we we saw so many species (highlight was a toucan!!) - Huge bedroom with loads of beds (even though we ordered a double, we could have slept 8) - Clean room that was cleaned every day - Perfect location - Very friendly, helpful staff - Pool table and cheap beer available - They have just built a pool with a fountain - Quiet part of town but only takes 5 minutes to walk to the main road - Aircon So many positives; we would absolutely recommend this hotel!!

- The mattress was old and uncomfortable. We slept on a spare quilt and that made it better

Brilliant stay, amazing staff

We had a great stay here. The location is perfect, giving excellent views and a feeling of being immersed in nature, while still being only 5 minutes walk from the town. Our room was big and had everything we expected in it. The best thing about this place are the staff, everyone was so helpful and friendly, they gave us so much advice and booked transport and trips (at a better price than going direct). The sloth tour with Armando was an absolute highlight - we saw 26 sloths! The restaurant is also very good and we enjoyed a nice meal one evening. The breakfast with birds is wonderful.

The beds are slightly hard, but really there was nothing we didn't like here.

Great value for a central place in La fortuna, extremely helpful staff.

Breakfast with one of the best views you can imagine if you are looking for views of arenal, and tremendous bird watching. The food and service at the restaurant was great as well

View from the room would have been nice, but wasn’t anything drastic.

Hôtel très charmant à La Fortuna (mention spéciale pour le petit déjeuner !!)

La situation au calme, proche de la nature et magnifique vue sur le volcan Arenal depuis la salle des petit déjeuners Petit déjeuner excellent, le meilleur de tous ceux que nous ayons eu l’occasion de goûter au Costa Rica !!! Accueil très chaleureux Très bonne table le soir pour le dîner

Confort peut être un peu rudimentaire des chambres Boiseries très présentes (trop ?) et matelas moyennement confortables …mais on l’oublie vite !! (Le réfrigérateur et la clim sont des plus !)
