I love the fact that as soon as we arrived on the property, we saw a slot! I guess there’s a family of them. The front desk staff was super friendly. Our bungalow in the jungle was secluded and awesome. You need to know that it was dated, however. A little bit like camping in the woods. It was probably the best value out there.
The rooms feel damp and there is absolutely no soundproofing so you can hear all your neighbours in their rooms or in the hallway. Ideally you need a car to get to the property. I used Ubers to get to the main town which were about CRC3,000 each way.
The breakfast was good & the views are fantastic.
There are no shops/restaurants close by which is not ideal if you don’t have a car.
Overall, it is really good. However, their breakfast portion is very small and it is little convenient to go during allotted time period ! The should be more open in providing extra towels - not just one on one exchange.
very old and run down, no coffee in the rooms, pool was dirty. was affordable and would of had an amazing view if it wasn’t cloudy out.

I loved the view no tv so learn to appreciate nature also the trail can be dark at nights please carry a flash light with you otherwise clean and beautiful
It’s a beautiful property has a lot of potential. The Internet doesn’t work, which is great if you wanna completely disconnect. It’s about 15 minutes away from downtown Fortuna so you’ll have to rely on taxis or Ubers to get back-and-forth to different activities. The showers are exposed completely so you can only hope that someone doesn’t walk behind your lodge when you are taking a shower. Getting to some of cabins is tough for elders (multiple stairs).
The staff were very helpful and charming in offering us guidance - how to save on taxis. We were within walking distance of Arenal Waterfall but to get to La Fortuna we needed transportation. The rain was heavier than we expected this time of year- early December. We missed having television in our rooms, but there was a serenity to the location.

Property is beautiful! The views are spectacular!
However, the villas are in great need of repair. The curtains had holes in them, multiple lights didn’t work, some lamps are actually hanging of the walls (exposed wiring). We had a kitchen inside the villa, the cabinets were covered in dust.
Breakfast was included and it was limited but good.

I don’t really know what to say about this place. In some ways, I loved it! We booked a 1 bedroom villa and were given a huge villa with 4 bed and 2 bedrooms. It had a lovely screened in porch that we spent hours on. We felt like we were in a treehouse. The villa was clean. Daily breakfast was simple but delicious and service was friendly and prompt.
On the other hand, the management of this place seemed to not be putting a lot into maintenance and upkeep. The walkway to our villa desperately needed to be swept/leaf blown and was a slippery death trap. The kitchen was huge but was missing some pretty obvious things like forks and dish towels. It also just kind of had an eerie/deserted vibe to it. We initially thought we were the only ones staying here until we saw other guests at breakfast.
Given the chance, I would probably stay here again. It was peaceful and felt disconnected but is only a few minute’s drive from town
Property is good for couple of nights. View from pool and dining area so beautiful. Breakfast is included with stay. It is very close from la fortuna waterfall.
