They saved vacation!
"I’ll start with the normal things that you look for in a place to stay. The rooms were clean and new, the location was perfectly situated near restaurants and excursions, the pools and food were both great and the view of the volcano can’t be beat.
The thing that saved our vacation was how quickly the staff was to help without question. A few hours before checkout, our 1 year old dropped her only paci we brought down the elevator. We tried to carry on with our day, but her screams spoke to her need for the paci that was somewhere in the elevator shaft. Thinking that all was lost, we asked the front desk if they could look in the elevator. Within 5 minutes hotel personnel were opening the elevator doors, going floor by floor, and laying flat on the ground searching for the lost paci. After checking all the floors, a final last ditch effort found the lost paci and undoubtedly saved mom & dad headaches and misery and the rest of the vacation. It speaks to the hospitality, helpfulness, and friendliness of the entire staff to ensure an amazing stay! Thank you to the staff! "

"For a unique experience with interesting and intimate setting! Try the large hot spring pool or from a couple smaller ones. A jacuzzi and swimming pool are also available for a dip. We enjoyed all kinds of wildlife spotting's from the hot springs and from short walks around the property to the nearby farm. Bella the pig and some beautiful horses can be spotted roaming the property as well as a new 15-day old donkey! While petting the Donkey one of the farmers showed us where they had spotted the 15-month-old sloth up in a nearby tree who was adorable. While enjoying the nearby pools we spotted many different types of reptiles including the basilisk or "Jesus Lizard". Birds of all different colors and types can also be spotted especially at breakfast where they piece of fruits in a few of the trees to ensure they show and for your viewing pleasure during breakfast. Baristas here are incredible as we enjoyed some of the best espresso drinks during our stay from iced lattes to macchiato served with delicate designs. Fresh fruits and juices are available at breakfast with a main option of pancakes, waffles, omelet and others. Dinner here was fantastic, and the seafood soup was one of the most flavorful and delicious soups either of us have ever had anywhere in the world. The seafood risotto as well as the beef loin were both amazing as well. With great food, staff and service, drinks, wildlife and variety of pools Hotel Silencio Del Campo is the #1 best hotel in La Fortuna!!!"
