Book this hidden gem! After leaving our swanky beach resort, our hearts led us back to La Fortuna. We only needed accommodations for one night and the price was right so we booked here. We were so happy with the level of eagerness the staff shown to make us have the best experience. In the morning they prepared a breakfast for us next to their two adorable pools with waterfalls. The landscape is absolutely gorgeous. Our only complaint was that we did not discover this place sooner! ##### Shannon Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matthew Mar 19, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Lovely grounds and view but very dated rooms Overall the stay was ok, but not the best of my trip in Costa Rica, here’s my full rundown: The good: the hotel grounds are beautiful, the swimming pool is set in a nice area, breakfast was nice and right by the pool was lovely, the bed was big and comfy, the staff were helpful and friendly, there is a lovely view of the volcano from the property. The not so good: the rooms are pretty dated and in need of a full refresh, the property is further out of the main town than I realised (my fault for not properly checking), despite being friendly and helpful I reported a flashing light in the bathroom twice but was never fixed (felt like brushing my teeth in a disco!), despite staying for 4 nights my room was never made up once (I really was expecting at least once or twice), there is no safe in the room. On balance I did really like the hotel grounds, but if I were in La Fortuna again I’d look for something a bit less dated and closer to town ##### Matthew Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lawrence Jul 13, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Secluded but Easy Access to La Fortuna Town Property is conveniently located off from the main road so it is quiet. 10 minute walk to the main road or easy drive. We went into town for breakfast and dinner, but also used kitchen to cook. 2 bedrooms and full kitchen with dining table gave adequate space to relax. Pool was nice added feature and clean. We would have enjoyed added amenities like complementary coffee to use in the coffee maker. A few instances of needed repairs such as faucet in washroom very loose and shower head spraying everywhere. Staff were friedly and welcoming. They responded to request to fix shower head that day and let us use hotel umbrellas which were needed often. Lots of stray animals around that our kids enjoyed. We stayed in the rainy season, so the first two nights, we were the only people there. ##### Lawrence Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Souganthika Feb 20, 2024 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is in close proximity to the volcano, which is the only positive. The AC kept leaking throughout the night, onto the bed and the night stand. The bed itself is the worst I have ever slept on, it caved in and creaked and rattled like an ancient cot, leaving me with a terrible back ache. There is no blanket on the bed and the one they had on the shelf was old and dusty. There’s a fan but it doesn’t work. The bloody curtains are see through. Who in their right minds would install a freaking see through curtain in a hotel room?! AVOID this place at all costs. Go somewhere else. This place is a joke. ##### Souganthika ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean and quiet.

We were 2 families sharing 1 bathroom which was inconvenient. ##### Vishal Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie Apr 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Aunty Arenal was a wonderful place to stay! We loved our stay at Aunty Arenal! Fernando and Laura were very friendly and accommodating. All the employees made us feel welcome. The room was very clean and the hotel was nice and quiet at night. The location was super convenient and easy to find. We wished we could have stayed longer. ##### Melanie Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aurora Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly and helpful staff, felt welcome and well cared for.
