Our room It’s actually better than the photos, however we would have liked a more kitchen equipment. We booked the room with kitchenette, It had a lovely big dining area and kitchen but only a fridge and kettle nothing to cook with. The bed is lovely and comfortable and the extra fan was really good to have. ##### Jen Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa Jul 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Overall this was a great Property for my family. We are a family of 4, we had a cozy 2 bedroom unit, complete with sitting area and backyard. The second bedroom had 2 twin beda which was great for the boys not having to share a bed. Things to note...the hotel is up on a mountain, you need a sturdy vehicle to do the drive. Once we got in for the evening we did not leave because the drive up is a bit difficult un the dark. There is a restaurant and bar, we had dinner there every night. There were a few instances in which certain items were not available, but everything we did order was excellent, Chef Daniel was great in the kitchen. The unit was very basic, no tv, no AC, no coffee maker or microwave. Being up in the mountains, it got cooler in the evening so we were ok with just the fan. We enjoyed our stay, Gigi and the staff were very friendly, they went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. ##### Melissa Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathalie Jun 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Extraordinary Be ready for rough a ride up the hill and nothing around...but once you get there it's paradise. Perfect place to unwind far from city noise. (And no barking dogs!) Dani is a gem, speaks fluent English and super professional. We had a wonderful dinner and a great breakfast facing the mountains. You can even see the ocean. The little villas are rustic and super comfortable. I want to go back! ##### Nathalie Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### K Dec 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Beautiful outdoor setting at the top of the hill, with beautiful blue pool and string lights. Great views of the surrounding area and nature. The cottages are clean and well done. Surrounded by nature. Good restaurant. We had pesto pasta with shrimps, and garlic shrimp. Strawberry daiquiri was also great. The bike park and high end bike rentals sound awesome. We didn't try them. Friendly service. We also happened to talk to some of the owners. Great to hear what they are trying to do for the local community as well. Friendly service. ##### K Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Garrett May 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Communication #### A hidden gem A very beautiful place. A hidden gem with beautiful view. Communication not so good. We waited 3 hours for our dinner which was only one course. We asked several times when we will arrive and answer was: Soon. They had a bad chef and were not totally honest before the day after. The manager tried to fix it by offering us a free night if we stayed a night longer, but we already had planned our trip and booked hotel. Which probably most tourists have. The right thing would have been take one night off our current stay. This does not change the fact that it is a beautiful place and we would give it another chance if we would go back. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8ec6522f-43f8-49b7-ad9f-f47fb0409c7a-1746343300444.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7469538e-fba8-49f8-86c5-d7140feeb016-1746343300477.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7ce5037d-4106-4eb9-a77a-aa340d9fccb0-1746343300321.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/99de4a85-7a71-435c-9fd1-e932cdf1708a-1746343300783.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Garrett Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Danielle Mar 30, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Look elsewhere. Look elsewhere. The staff is friendly when you can find them. We stayed in a 2 bedroom casita, beds were full of bugs, not alive but just not what we expected. Bathroom was outdated and not clean, no ac and in San Mateo late march you need it. Was hard to sleep. The beds are very uncomfortable. No entertainment in casita. Three pools that were run down and outdated. Breakfast is free but very limited. Would not stay again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6DA0063E43995D16AD93C84D8C83EEDC820DF99E1711758592798.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D0BFD551886AE847BBCE4B4F90C097117B0522D71711758592808.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8F209E13BEF988D27E74A891255FC2549D8864E61711758592733.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/48383C4D79C5F556B7EFF70FC7797EEB3AB6FFE11711758593623.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Danielle Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Volcan Verde](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-History-Inn.h17866818.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Linda Vista](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Linda-Vista.h7064176.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Secreto La Fortuna](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Secreto-La-Fortuna.h12860234.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Hot Springs - Thermal Water & Volcano Views](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Paradise-Hot-Springs-Thermal-Resort.h17222236.Hotel-Information) > > [Eco Arenal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Eco-Arenal-Hotel.h5964265.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Montechiari Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Montechiari-Hotel.h6986430.Hotel-Information) > > [Tree Houses Hotel Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Florencia-Hotels-Tree-Houses-Hotel-Costa-Rica.h35128198.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Hideaway Rio Celeste](https://www.expedia.ca/Katira-Hotels-Hotel-Rio-Celeste-Hideaway.h3858533.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Las Colinas](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Las-Colinas.h4223949.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel La Fortuna](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Selina-La-Fortuna.h19237432.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Manoa-Hot-Springs-Resort.h1671981.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-The-Royal-Corin-Thermal-Water-Spa-Resort.h2486262.Hotel-Information) > > [Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Volcano-Lodge-Hotel-Thermal-Experience.h2133936.Hotel-Information) > > [The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal](https://www.expedia.ca/Monterrey-Hotels-The-Springs-Resort-And-Spa-At-Arenal.h2307339.Hotel-Information) > > [Nayara Springs - Adults only](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Nayara-Springs-Adults-Only.h8743893.Hotel-Information) > > [Baldi Hot Springs Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Baldi-Hot-Springs-Hotel-And-Spa.h2145540.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Monte Real](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Monte-Real.h10203312.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Los-Lagos-Spa-Resort.h1312339.Hotel-Information) > > [Lost Iguana Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Lost-Iguana-Resort-And-Spa.h1174121.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Kioro-Suites-Spa.h1690575.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue River Resort & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Guayabo-Hotels-Blue-River-Resort-Hot-Springs.h3969358.Hotel-Information) > > [El Silencio Lodge and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Toro-Amarillo-Hotels-El-Silencio-Lodge-And-Spa.h3940524.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Amor Arenal Adults Friendly](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Amor-Arenal-Adults-Only.h29335103.Hotel-Information) > > [Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Tabacon-Thermal-Resort-Spa.h1142389.Hotel-Information)
