Sanctuarium hotel is a magical place. From check in to check out. The property sits in a forest with a flowing river below. The beauty around the whole property is breathtaking!! Most important is the one on one personalized attention and service from the amazing staff. Don’t look further if you have no children.

We were a little nervous about booking a hotel that had only been open for about a month, but we’re so glad we took the chance—our stay was truly phenomenal. After seeing several other properties around La Fortuna during tour pickups, nothing came close to the serenity, luxury, and overall atmosphere of this place. From the stunning grounds to the beautiful art throughout, it just feels special. The gated entrance is a lovely touch and really adds to the sense of privacy and luxury. The hospitality truly stands out: thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely personal. The grounds are immaculate, with natural beauty everywhere you look. The food is excellent, and every detail feels intentional. We loved meeting Kevin, Johan, Yeraldin, Andrés, Allison, Fabiola, and the rest of the team who made us feel more like family than guests. The Sanctuarium far exceeded our expectations and was the perfect way to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Staying here was paradise. I have stayed at a lot of hotel but this was one of the best. The staff was so kind, attentive and friendly. It is the kind of place where everyone remembers your name and makes you feel truely welcomed. Kevin at the front desk checked in multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed The property itself was so well kept and magical, they put bird food and fruit out and you can see so many animals everywhere, we saw so many beautiful birds and wildlife, even Toucans up close. Some of the most beautiful landscaping ive ever seen. There is even a private waterfall onsite that was just behind the hotel building that was truely special (short paved trail surrounded by gardens and trees that take you down to the stream) , you can really tell how much thought and work went into constructing the place. (I am a engineer so that kind of stuff interests me, I was blown away just thinking about how much effort must have gone into the landscaping and construction of the place) The food was so delicious and breakfast was amazing, Kevin and the other servers were really great and really made our meals enjoyable. (I really liked the green juice and I had it every morning) The view from the dining area was beautiful and there is plenty of wildlife around to watch as you enjoy breakfast. There is also ample parking. Everything was top notch, the service, the food, the room, the hotel atmosphere, If you have a chance to stay here DO IT! Truely special place

If you are looking for a place to truly have a wonderful time with your spouse, and share a very special experience with incredible staff and ownership, this is your place. The grounds are beautiful and immaculate. We had a five course dinner prepared by a personal chef based on our preferences which I would rate as one of the best dinners of our lifetime. We had a stuffed avocado, prawns, seared tuna, seared Seabass, and delicious mousse dessert, prepared table side with incredible flavors. The staff even created a special Valentine’s Day theme an additional recognition for our 35th year of marriage. We also had the primal massage, aside the rushing La Fortuna River, which was an incredible experience. The property is located 15 minutes from the amazing La Fortuna Falls, with views of the volcano Mount Arenal and grounds comprised of beautiful flowers and palm trees with visits from many birds and the voices of Holler Monkeys. Yeraldine stayed in touch with us, from initial reservation until we left, even changing her shift on the final day, to make sure she could see us off. Every member of the staff treated us like family. It is clear ownership has created a very special place, with incredible people, to ensure a wonderful stay. We will always remember Sanctuarium fondly, as our place to escape the grind and enjoy true inner peace and hope to visit again! Thank You!!!
Entrance to our Valentine’s Day celebration!

I’ve stayed at luxurious hotels over the years and Hotel Sanctuarium has been my absolute favorite. From the moment we arrived it was clear this place is something special. If anything it’s even better than the photos. Everything feels brand new, impeccably clean and beautifully designed. The lush gated grounds are incredibly private and we felt completely safe the entire time. There are scenic paths in every direction, even leading down to a little river with a waterfall, plus stunning volcano views right from the property. Our room was incredibly spacious and had every thoughtful touch like plush robes, slippers and vanity kits. All the small details were carefully considered. It felt elevated yet warm at the same time. Waking up surrounded by vibrant greenery was magical. At one point a tiny gecko made a surprise appearance in our room and a staff member immediately came to gently remove it. Special shoutout to Kevin who truly went above and beyond. He made us feel so cared for and even offered to help buff out a few scratches on our rental car. Such an unexpected gesture. Breakfast was amazing and served à la carte. You have to try the French toast. The ladies each morning were so warm and welcoming. The combination of luxurious rooms, stunning grounds and exceptional hospitality made this stay unforgettable. We will absolutely be back.

Passing through the portal to undeniable beauty. It absolutely takes your breathe away. Then you step into bliss. The warmth and genuine happiness that comes from this place is incredible. The room is huge with insane views of the Mountain covered in a cloudy mist. You are instantly overwhelmed with the majesty of Mother Nature, Pachamama, that is before your eyes. We were greeted to that view for 8 glorious days. The restaurant is divine, with wraparound views of jungle and it’s many animals that are feasting below your feet. In the trees a couple of you and and some colorful dirás i have never seen. The pool area is enticing with the waterfall and sunken bar. A walk down to the River takes you on a journey that exposes you to a gorgeous strong River with a pool that you can step into. The staff are amazing, beautiful, kind and generous people that were picked by the owner, Felix. He has created paradise in the jungles of La Fortuna. Thank you to Dayana, Fabiola Allison and Kevin for my amazing meals. The máster chef created a farewell dinner for my husband and me that was delicious. Thank you to Johan for welcoming us into an incredibly outstanding stay. Your knowledge will only grow and your kindness will make even more people adore you. And then their is Kevin, the smartes II dear person ever. Through all of you Felix´s vision is real and the more people know about this place the more they will wish to experiencia a Jewel in the Jungle. Pura Vida
