We stayed 6 nights here and would definately stay here again if we return to La fortuna. The hotel, room and grounds were very clean, staff were very friendly and many speak English if you don’t speak Spanish. The included breakfast was fantastic every morning, we ate at the restaurant for dinner once and it was very good. There are several small Soda restaurants within a few blocks which we ate at several times and many other more tourist restaurants nearby as well. Downtown is about a 1.5 mile walk downhill and there is a small convenience store, grocery store, and sloth trail within easy walking distance. We used Uber for all of are other transportation needs which was always nearby and much cheaper than the local cabs.
