Loved this quaint little spot. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great breakfast options. Beautiful grounds with trail down to river. Much more affordable than staying right in La Fortuna.
This place is absolutely beautiful. It’s convenient and walkable to the nearest shops and restaurants. I not only will stay again but already planning a trip back and want this exact spot. Price is affordable.
Such a great accommodation! We booked the superior cabin. Very peaceful cabin with a large verandah that looks on into the jungle. Room is is huge and has a fridge and sink. The king bed is comfortable, super clean. Enough room to do my yoga! Great parking. Would highly recommend for a genuine Costa Rican stay.
Beautiful grounds, walking paths and lots of privacy between each villa. The staff was helpful and kind. Walking along the river in the mornings was a splendid treat and very relaxing. We walked to town, dining and waterfalls for swimming. The food and drinks on site were very good and reasonably priced. Cannot wait to go back!!!
The room is dated but clean. The outdoor patio is amazing! We heard howler monkeys in the morning from our deck. Unfortunately we stayed only one night and didn’t have time to use the hot tub. I would recommend staying multiple nights to enjoy that outdoor space!
Wonderful stay in La Fortuna! The property is beautiful and feels very private all the while being very close to La Fortuna and all the restaurants. The staff was so kind and friendly! Would definitely stay here again.

We just left here today. We were in Cabin 10 , the grounds here are gorgeous. The cabins are very clean and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend. There’s a bar near the front office that’s amazing.
Fabulous place in gorgeous nature. The cabins are very fun and feel private with all the vegetation around. We had excellent service from the staff, and a great, rainy night tour on the property from Carina.
Very quick walk to mini market and restaurants but off the main drag so it’s nice and quiet
We booked the family room nd loved having the large covered patio with hot tub. It was so much fun sitting in the hot tub and listening to the rain pounding on the roof.
The only drawback is that this room is just feet from the road. Although there were plants blocking the view it was pretty noisy during the day.
But a family would love this room, small kitchen, 3 separate beds, and good price. But no pool on the property if that is important to you.
We had a wonderful cabin with a lot of space. Our cabin also came with a private hot tub outside in the back. Check in was easy, staff was excellent. My wife had a medical emergency while we were there and the front desk staff were super helpful. We enjoyed the peaceful, well landscape tropical environment. There is also a river at the back of the property. Lots of bird passing through. Want to thank them for a great trip.
This place is a hidden gem. Do not pass it up. Surrounded by rainforest jungle beauty. Great cabins. Great restaurant. Great staff. Conveniently located. Would book again and again.
Beautiful, well kept grounds. Nice trail around property and down to the river. Best helpful, kind, efficient and patient staff (Kevin) who helped us with all our questions, requests and even car problems. Wonderful experience and we highly recommend. Dinner was excellent as well.
