This hotel is the perfect one night stay on the way to La Fortuna. It is 10 min away from La Paz waterfall gardens, which is a wonderful place to visit. Our stay was really peaceful and the place was not crowded. Breakfast and dinner were nice. The staff was excellent and friendly. The place has great grounds and beautiful mountains views.
