The hostess saw me sitting outside of the room alone and invited me over for a snack and drinks. We sat mostly in silence for a while. Her dogs were very sweet and I gave them pats and rubs. It was a little awkward not really being able to talk, but we had a good laugh because laughter is the same in most languages. The facilities were amazing, clean, and travel was convenient. The bathrooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable and the rooms have air conditioning. ##### ANNA Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vjekoslav Oct 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean and very spacious, with AC. This was the best value we've had in Costa Rica, with really spacious place, kind hosts and good internet. If you have a rental car, very convenient location between the two volcano parks, but in a peaceful setting away from the busy towns. Super grateful and relaxed. ##### Vjekoslav Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Noah's Forest by Tifakara](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Noahs-Forest-By-Tifakara.h38922752.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coast Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-The-Coast-Beachfront-Hotel.h18530265.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Secreto La Fortuna](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Secreto-La-Fortuna.h12860234.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Monte Real](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Monte-Real.h10203312.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel La Fortuna](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Selina-La-Fortuna.h19237432.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Lost Iguana Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Lost-Iguana-Resort-And-Spa.h1174121.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Linda Vista](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Linda-Vista.h7064176.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue River Resort & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Guayabo-Hotels-Blue-River-Resort-Hot-Springs.h3969358.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) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal History Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-History-Inn.h17866818.Hotel-Information) > > [Hideaway Rio Celeste](https://www.expedia.ca/Katira-Hotels-Hotel-Rio-Celeste-Hideaway.h3858533.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Montechiari Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Montechiari-Hotel.h6986430.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [El Silencio Lodge and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Toro-Amarillo-Hotels-El-Silencio-Lodge-And-Spa.h3940524.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) > > [Eco Arenal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Eco-Arenal-Hotel.h5964265.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information)
