Best customer service I’ve EVER had!!!

This is the place you need to book, no questions asked. Not only was the property beautiful…the free breakfast was amazing…the location is perfect (close enough to walk to town, not so close that you get caught in the hustle and bustle of tourism)… but the manager on-site, Adriana, went ABOVE AND BEYOND for me as a female solo traveler. I experienced a huge travel emergency and she was my guardian angel! She even ordered me a pizza on her own dime because I hadn’t eaten all day after the craziest travel day of my life. I am eternally grateful to her kindness and hospitality. I extended my stay an extra night and booked my excursions through her (she has connections and a comprehensive document to every tour you’d ever want to take). I even got to accomplish my dream of seeing Rio Celeste and had a great shuttle experience back to the Liberia airport which only cost about $60 shared. I highly recommend this property for solo travelers, families, and friend trips alike.

La Fortuna Arenal visit

I have a lovely stay at this hotel. The property grounds is magnificent. The birds and other wildlife that visit was a bonus! Very close to downtown walking distance to everything. The family own soda 5 ish minutes away is a must try! El salto rope is about 10 minutes away and there’s a road side popsicle, man, reminds me of every Caribbean country/island I’ve been too. 💕 The volcano was constantly covered by clouds which was disappointing as I wanted to see the peak of it from the view at the entrance. Will revisit the area in the future. Check in and out was a breeze. I had a flight delay which turned into a cancellation put a damper on my plans but I was able to contact the hotel to change dates. I also extended my trip in the area.

The stay was very good. We had visited this property in 2014 and now ten years later. The only thing we would recommend is getting faster internet as it was not always very good and getting the. television channels fixed. Besides that, the staff was very nice and everyone was kind. Thank you for making our vacation pleasant.

Our favorite stay in Costa Rica

The grounds and the pool are first class. The breakfast is a definite plus. At the end of the day around the pool we always met interesting people. We originally booked for two nights but added three more because we liked the place so much. Close to town, waterfalls, hot springs and hikes. A+++
