Guest Reviews

• BERNARD (10/5): -
• Tatiana (9/5): Vue et petit déjeuner extraordinaire - Vue extraordinaire sur le lac. La propriétaire est très gentille, souriante et avenante. La terasse est très agréable le soir pour voir le couché de soleil qui est à couper le souffle. Malheureusement la journée il fait très chaud dans la chambre même en laissant les portes/fenêtres ouvertes. Mais on s'y habitue... Dommage nous n'avons pas eu la chance de pouvoir tester le restaurant car il n'était pas en service juste peut être le préciser car nous étions venus surtout pour tester le restaurant :-)
• Irene (10/5): - Las instalaciones, la vista y la atención personal fueron perfectas! El desayuno espectacular y Ana nos hizo sentir como en casa. Super recomendado Tal vez aire acondicionado aunque el clima era fresco
• Ricardo (10/5): Creo que lo pudimos haber encontrado un mejor hotel en Costa Rica en la zona de fortuna. Mi esposa y yo quedamos con gan - En un hotel, lo que más deseas es que el servicio y la atención sea extraordinaria y eso fue exactamente lo que vivimos una experiencia extraordinaria. En ningún hotel del mundo nos habían servido un desayuno de la calidad, la variedad y lo exquisito de este hotel. Las habitaciones lindísimas. Le doy un 10 de 10.
• Ricardo (10/5): Paraíso - Localização, tranquilidade e simpatia. Foi tudo perfeito
• Patenaude (10/5): - absolutly everything! the owners the welcome the staff the rooms the breakfast the service even Mucci, the dog n/a
• Pamela (10/5): Espectacular!!! - La vista en el balcón. La tranquilidad que proyecta el lugar. La atención tan increíble de la encargada. Todo estuvo espectacular. Lo recomiendo 100% Que no hubiera para hacer café en la habitación.
• María Eugenia (10/5): Una experiencia que supera cualquier expectativa - Una experiencia realmente maravillosa. La ubicación es excelente, a tan solo 300 metros de la laguna, pero sin duda lo más espectacular es la vista desde el balcón: un paisaje imponente que se disfruta desde el primer momento y que invita a quedarse contemplando la belleza del lugar. El alojamiento es moderno, hermoso e impecable en cada detalle. El desayuno es toda una experiencia gastronómica, delicioso y preparado con dedicación. Ana, la anfitriona, se luce con su calidez y atenciones, haciendo que la estadía sea aún más especial. Definitivamente… volveremos. Todo nos gustó!
• Joel (8/5): - The view and the breakfast were amazing! No AC which is fine but all screens falling out so when we left things open to stay comfortable mosquitos and a cat came through screen doors and a cat slept on our clothes.
• Nick (7/5): - Remarkable view. Can’t beat it. Hotel was mostly quiet, with the exception of the property owners’ dog barking outside of our cabin early mornings (6am ish) and waking us up. This is a vacation and we go to unplug. People should be mindful. No air conditioning. There were periods late night and early mornings when the temp dropped, but it was relatively warm outside of that.
• Escriba Pastor (10/5): Espectacular. Muy recomendable - La ubicación y las vistas espectaculares. La atención y hospitalidad de Ana fue espectacular con sus recomendaciones y súper desayunos. Súper recomendable. Ojalá volver algún día!! En la llegada al alojamiento hubo falta de comunicación y al llegar nadie salió a nuestro encuentro y un perro en la entrada nos asustó. De todos modos, al final conseguimos contactar con Ana y pudimos hacer el check-in
• Elham (10/5): - Amazing place and the kindest staff
• ALISA (10/5): Amazing! I’ll never forgot iit! - The VIEW and peaceful setting was exactly what we were looking for. The separate units were clean, comfortable and unique. It does not have A/C. I didn’t need it but some people might depending on time of the year.
• G (7/5): Miło i przyjemnie wspominamy tam pobyt , jest kilka rzeczy które moznaby poprawić :) - Stylowe domki na odludziu , widok na jezioro boski Brak klimatyzacji za tą cenę to zdecydowanie minus Śniadanie pyszne niestety czas przygotowania zajmował wieki - trzeba zarezerwować minimum godzinę wolnego czasu
• Marcin (10/5): Wyjątkowe miejsce - widoki + staff. Polecam!!! - Przepiękny widok i miła obsługa, przepyszne domowe śniadania przygotowywane m.in. przez Ane :)
• Robert (10/5): - Owners and staff were lovely. Beautiful location, with stunning view very clean, very good breakfast. Individual rooms with terrace . Each villa was set back, affording privacy. No complaints.
• Yevgeniy (10/5): - Owesome view from the room. Substantial and every day different homemade breakfast. Hospitable owners and personnel. Very clean facilities. Thank you for the great time!
• Philip (10/5): A fantastic stay in a contemporary styled setting - A stylish, well-designed modern hotel located on a hillside above Lake Arenal, offering breathtaking views and bird-watching opportunities. The hotel features a group of separate contemporary bungalows, with convenient parking and well-lit paved walkways. Our bungalow was quiet, clean, and fully equipped with a spacious modern interior, a comfortable bed, furnishings, a large bathroom, and a furnished outdoor deck. The hosts and staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was excellent, featuring a wide variety of food and drinks in an open-air dining area. It’s definitely on our list of places to stay again.
• christophe (9/5): -
• Rory (10/5): Incredible views, serene and very welcoming - Everything about the property, staff and owners is excellent. An incredibly welcoming place. The breakfast and dinner compete with any high end restaurant. Being asked what we’d want for dinner the day before felt like luxury. The views from the room were incredible and there was so much wildlife to be spotted from the balcony. Special place, we plan to return in the future. n/a
• CELINE (10/5): Depuis les bungalows, une vue exceptionnelle - L'emplacement des bungalows nous offre une vue exceptionnelle sur le lac Arenal. Le secteur géographique est très calme. Nous avons été séduits par l'accueil chaleureux de la propriétaire dont la gentillesse et l'attention nous donnent le sentiment d'être des hôtes privilégiés. Le petit déjeuner préparé était copieux et très sain. Nous avons également profité d'un excellent dîner le soir de notre arrivée.
• Christophe (4/5): Magnifique spot mais manque de confort dans la chambre - La vue incroyable et la gentillesse de la manager le lendemain matin qui nous a préparé un petit déjeuner avant l’heure Pas de chance Nous sommes arrivés sous des averses le parking était loin de la chambre on a dû marcher dans la gadoue avec nos valises et il n’y avait pas de couette sur le lit! Un simple drap et un petit plaid qui sert de deco. Nous avons eu froid toute la nuit et impossible de nous réchauffer avec une bonne douche chaude car l’eau était tiède !
• Van de mergel-crepin (10/5): Vue et petit déjeuner au top. - Nous avons passé 2 nuits et c’était super. Les hôtes s’adaptent à notre arrivée, à nos intolérances alimentaires, ils sont vraiment aux petits soins. La vue est magnifique et même s’il pleuvait/ y avait du brouillard, ça changeait tout de se réveiller avec la vue sur le lac. Meme avec du brouillard nous avons un petit couché de soleil et nous pouvons voir à l’horizon. + meilleurs petits déjeuner de notre séjour. C’était excellent et fait à la minute. Merci :)
• Nathalie (10/5): Exceptionnel - We really like the concept and view of the lake
• Gregory (10/5): The property feels like a serene retreat where you could read your favorite novel or write one! - Outstanding stay! I loved the contemporary architecture, the sleek, tasteful interior design and the breathtaking views. Also, the breakfast ranked as one of my best ever. It was such a treat to stay there and I will return the next time I visit Costa Rica. Nothing
• elisa (8/5): Molto bello! - I proprietari sono stati molto accoglienti, attenti ai dettagli. La struttura è ben curata e ordinata. La colazione è stata fantastica! La struttura dovrebbe fornire maggiore quantità di sapone per lavarsi e più coperte perché durante la notte fa freddo.
• André (10/5): - Unübertreffbare Aussicht. Schön designtes Bungalow. Aussergewöhnliches Frühstück.
• Martin (10/5): Excellent hotel, delicious breakfast, and very friendly staff - The hotel was excellent. The breakfast was delicious, and the lady who takes care of the hotel is very attentive and kind. She made us feel very welcome during our stay
• Neema (10/5): Incredible views and amazing stay at this gorgeous modern boutique hotel - This place is a rare find and a total gem with gorgeous views of lake Arenal. The property and rooms are much nicer than the listing photos, and we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived here. The owner is absolutely amazing, the views are unmatched, breakfast is delicious, there's nothing more I could ask for here. Thank you for hosting us. Having to check out :(
• Edward (9/5): Glorious vistas outside the scrum of La Fortuna - As advertised, the view was fabulous -- an unobstructed panorama of Laguna Arenal and the surrounding hills. The breakfast was wonderful: lots of fresh fruit, eggs any style, fresh juice and coffee. There were several good restaurants within walking distance. And Bastian and Ana were warm, generous, and responsive hosts. If there was one fault with the room, it was that the water in the shower wasn't quite as hot as one might like. But it was fine.
• Elisabeth (10/5): Hotel avec une vue incroyable sur le lac qui permet de s'évader et de rêver en toute tranquilité - J'ai tout aimé: la vue imprenable sur le lac, le confort et la modernité de la chambre dont l'agencement a été très bien pensé, la gentillesse des propriétaires!! Rien, tout était parfait!!
• Bettina (10/5): Ein toller Ort zum entspannen mit einem sehr netten Ehepaar, dass sich sehr bemüht den Aufenthalt so schön wie möglich z - Wir sind sehr herzlich aufgenommen worden und wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen! Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich und mit viel Individualität zubereitet. Der Ausblick ist sensationell und entspannend. Gerne empfehlen wir die Unterkunft weiter! Für uns war es der perfekte Ausgangspunkt um Aktivitäten zu planen und umzusetzen.
• SEDAT (10/5): If you are heading to Arenal this is the place to stay. - Amazing lake view , wonderful hospitality by Anna and Sebastian , quite and clean facility … No chance to complain for something
• REGLA (10/5): Excellent - The staff the owner the best excellent Nothing
• Eli (10/5): Excellent facility and wonderful welcoming owner - Everything None
• Paulo (9/5): Amazing - O serviço a paisagem é a simpatia da D.Ana Pequeno almoço espectacular com produtos frescos Jantar excelente tudo muito fresco e com qualidade
• Ingrid (9/5): - Great hosts and magical views . Delicious breakfast and diner. Haute cuisine level. Nothing
• Tiger_Jumbo (9/5): -
• Sebastián (8/5): Excelente opción para la mejor vista del Lago, pero falta AC - Tiene la mejor vista al Lago Arenal, sin obstrucciones. Buen acceso al lugar, incluso vi un sedan pequeño llegar a la entrada de lastre. Estaba limpio y en muy buenas condiciones la habitación. Hay pocos lugares para salir a comer, pero sí los hay. Creo que la relación calidad-precio no es la mejor tomando en cuenta la ausencia de aire acondicionado, siendo que de 10am a 5pm hace mucho calor y aunque se abran puertas y ventanas no se logra una temperatura agradable. Definitivamente hace falta aire acondicionado para esas horas. Y tomando en cuenta el costo debería estar disponible la opción.
• Carla (10/5): Amazing stay! Pure nature - Amazing view to the lake. Waking up with the sound of bird and the sunset were stunning Excellent service and breakfast (delicious and different everyday!) Everything clean and quiet Close to Fortuna (20min drive), volcano, Tabacon and waterfalls Suggestion: need a car to move around Nothing!!
• castillo (9/5): -
• Rubem (10/5): Excelente local para "Pura Vida", como dizem na Costa Rica - O principal fator a registrar é a dona do hotel, Ana, que nos acompanhou no café da manhã e atendeu nossas preferencias, assim como indicou passeios e dicas locais. O hotel fica em um local belissimo, todas as unidades com vista magnifica do lago Arenal e até do vulcão Tenorio. O hotel fica a poucos metros da rodovia asfaltada e com acesso fácil a restaurantes, atrações locais (Vulcão Arenal, termas, diversos parques, etc), bem como as cidades de Nuevo Arenal e La Fortuna. Não gostamos do curto periodo que foi possivel ficar.
• Tal (10/5): Exceptional view of the Arenal lake - Exceptional view of the Arenal lake with really nice suite , very big and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing, maybe the best we had in this area. Stopping for one night on our way to Monteverde was the best decision we made, had amazing time here with unique bird watching. The room had a slight musty smell (we were during the rainy season). Birds make a lot of noise during the night , includibg knocking on the roof. Would advise to bring earplugs for better sleep.
• John (10/5): Outstanding value - very pleasant owners and staff - The breakfast was one of the best we've had a hotel. Super fresh and made by the owners. Just a bit of a drive to the sights surrounding Arenal.
• Martin (8/5): Very good -
• Sophie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anthony (10/5): Absolutely Stunning - Absolutely stunning. Not sure you could ever get board of the view. Every room has it own private views from the hillside downs and over the lake. Food is fantastic. A bar/pub within walking distance. We had a car with us so drove to the places we wanted to visit and never had to drive that far. Room at clean and comfy beds. Nothing, we really loved it.
• Guido (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast changes every day. Host is very helpful
• Cristian (9/5): Superb -
• Sandeep (10/5): Minimalist Architecture with attention to detail - Minimalist design with attention to detail. The cottages are uniquely positioned to provide amazing views. The patios, windows & even the bed height, mirror in bathroom is designed with sight line to the lake. The steel, glass & concrete come along very well in a composition designed for the landscape. The restaurant patio opens to views with exceptional breakfast served all home made. Can’t wait for wellness expansion plans to finish in the main house uphill. Truly an architectural experience to have ! Rain water gutter exposed. This is only for architectural buffs, doesn’t bother you & it works but with such exceptional detail in architecture this could deserve an enhancement. Share your ideas !
• Venkat (9/5): I woul love to revisit - Amazing experience, very nice view and room ambiance, great for anyone who wants to relax. Great food , amazing staff. Very personalized care is given to you. Won’t get it in many places. No AC , you won’t need it most of the days as the hotel is up on mountain and the room has great cross ventilation but it might bother on some humid days.
• Olena (10/5): Very happy that we booked here! - Enjoyed everything about our stay at Hotel Laguna Arenal. The rooms are modern and elegant, great showers and beds, and the most amazing private terrace with a breathtaking view on the Lake Arenal. Great photography opportunities for bird lovers! Anna is an excellent host, very caring and flexible, communicates very clearly (also in the Dutch language). She serves very tasty breakfast and dinner! We visited Volcano Arenal walking trails and hot springs from here, the location is perfect to drive to and from those points.
• Florian (10/5): Overall, a fantastic experience, and I’d love to come back! 😊 - The breakfast was absolutely excellent – fresh, delicious, and with a great variety of options. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making sure we had everything we needed. On top of that, the view was just breathtaking! Everything about our stay was super, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Can’t wait to come back! There was nothing I didn’t like. The room didn’t have a TV, but I actually enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere without it. A pool could be a nice addition, but honestly, I didn’t miss it at all.
• Julien (8/5): Very good -
• Constantinos (10/5): Our stay with Ana was the perfect start to our holiday, we couldn’t recommend her more highly. - We loved the location, so tranquil with beautiful views and nature all around us and just a short walk to the village. The cabaña was very comfortable and Ana a wonderful host. The breakfast and dinner was the best, we were sorry to leave. There was nothing at all that we didn’t like.
• Asaf (9/5): Superb - The hostages is very nice The rooms are great
• Rene (10/5): Exceptional - Clean and cozy, delicious breakfast The way from parking space to the studios are a little bit tricky when it rains a lot
• Yasir (9/5): Superb - Breathtaking views . I will recommend to anyone for the views It’s 30 min drive to La Fortuna for daily activities But worth the money . Only thing I didn’t like is the offered us new year Eve dinner and charged us 300 for family for 5 No menu so didn’t knew how much was price They should have told us before hand .
• Luis (10/5): Peaceful retreat, heavenly stay - Heavenly escape. Exceptional service; Ana Milena and Bastian are very welcoming and friendly, attentive to every detail. They offered great suggestions on activities and were very open and generous; fantastic recommendations. Breakfast is scrumptious; every item made from scratch, plentiful and delicious. The rooms are comfortable and offer a killer view of the lake. The entire hotel is La peaceful retreat. There are a couple of restaurants near by and La Fortuna (nearest town) is half an hour away.
• Avital (10/5): Wonderful and magical location with most amazing hosts - We are a family of five and had the most wonderful stay at the hotel. Each room has a balcony with the most extraordinary view of the lake and natural jungle; every morning we relaxed outdoors with fresh coffee as local birds visited. The owners were incredibly gracious and poured their passion for their hotel into their service and accommodations. We spent Christmas evening at the hotel, and they orchestrated a delicious meal and live music in the setting of a lively forest - it was truly magical. Nothing!
• Yifat (10/5): Exceptional - Wow!!!! The location, view, and comfort of the rooms were outstanding, and I want to thank our host for all her efforts in making our stay a memorable experience. This is a place where I would love to stay again, even for a longer period. We found it difficult to leave. NA
• Mnoll (1/5): Bad - Death lizard in our bed; ants in bed; missing reception, so we didn't have chance to disscus problems; missing windows; hole in window net; birds excrements on terrace; squeaky sheet; closed restaurant... All staff left about 30 minutes after our arrival so there was nobody to solve the problems... Answeared our message after several hours... Terrible
• Nad (9/5): Beautiful place and great staff. Amazing food - Views were amazing. Food and staff were wonderful
• Samuel (10/5): Exceptional - A place of true peace and tranquility, with an incredible view over the lake. Waking up to the nature was a major highlight. Ana and her staff were wonderful, and the food they prepared for us was delicious. Highly recommend!
• Amit (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jessica (9/5): Superb - The individual bungalows were wonderful, clean and had good space. The views of the lake were spectacular and the sounds of the forest around us were a joy to wake up to. The daily breakfasts were delicious and the staff and owners of the property were friendly and helpful.
• Anastasiia (10/5): Everything was amazing! - Ana was a great help! Super nice and personable :) Breakfasts were delicious; different fruits and juices every day.
• Tom (10/5): Comfortable and quiet cabins overviewing the lake, driving distance to touristic hot spots - Wonderful, clean and modern looking cabins with a beautiful view overlooking Arenal Lake. big and comfortable bed, large and well functioning shower and very good and optimal use of space in the cabin. We were greeted every morning by some birds on top of our cabin, and could see and hear all kinds of wildlife from the deck overlooking the lake. Special mention for the lovely cats running around the property and coming to greet us! The hotel staff provided special vegan options for breakfast every morning, which were absolutely lovely and tasty, and which was well above our expectations. Also a big thank you for allowing us to check in at a very late time at night and staying up late especially to accomodate us, very much appreciated! Driving distance from La Fortuna and many surrounding activities and touristic locations, the cabins are located outside of the touristic area in a beautiful and quiet place. Parking space could be a bit small if all cabins are occupied, is just sufficient if everyone parks properly.
• Gracia (7/5): Good - Incredible, unbeatable views of the lake. The property has seen better days and not proactively well maintained. For example, we were the only guests for a few nights, occupying just one of the rooms. However, we were given a room with a broken screen door (a big hole) which we didn’t notice until a day later, hence lots of bugs coming in. Once we reported it, it was fixed right away. However, would have been nice to have it noticed before we arrived. Would also have liked to been offered more traditional CR desayuno for breakfast instead of just toast American type breakfasts each morning.
• Richard (8/5): Very good -
• Kelli (9/5): The owner was personable, attentive and accommodating - Views were spectacular
• Jim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michele (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ungerman (10/5): Exceptional - The views are incredible! Although we only had dinner one night I wish we would have eaten every night at the property, it was the best value and the best tasting food around Arenal- breakfast each morning was also amazing. We also loved how attentive the cleaning staff was, every afternoon we returned ‘home’ to a tidy room with fresh towels.
• Jonathan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sonya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ada (7/5): Great view and exceptional breakfast!!!! Nice staff :) - The view was amazing!!! The bathroom and bedroom room felt clean and modern plus the bed was comfortable. Absolutely amazing breakfast!!!!! The highlight of the stay and probably the best breakfast I had in Costa Rica. The staff was so nice and it felt incredibly laid back. I felt uncomfortable that our front door did not like. Because the location is so off the beaten path, I would have felt more comfortable at night being able to lock the door. We were also missing our cushions to the deck chairs. It’s a beautiful place though, very relaxing!
• Juan (6/5): Pleasant -
• Michael (10/5): What a lovely hotel with amazing staff and lovely food - A hidden gem … if I am in the area again we will for sure stay there again. The room was modern, clean, and comfortable. Also might have been the best breakfast I had all trip and we stayed at some nice places. Dining with that view was sublime
• Mallory (10/5): Beautiful! - Bastien and Anna and the girls are amazing! Very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are absolutely amazing. The breakfasts each day were something we looked forward to! They were delicious. The view is amazing overlooking the lake.
• Marlena (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dilip (10/5): Exceptional - The staff, the food and the units
• Monic (10/5): we had such an amazing stay here! it was perfect and just how it was described. - To start the view is absolutely amazing. It is very peaceful. The property is very clean and you can tell they take good care of it. The ladies that work in the kitchen and the owner make it an even better experience. We had some great breakfast and her dinner was soo good as well. Thar I live far away and can’t stay here every weekend ☺️
• Vince (9/5): The stay and the service at Laguna was one of the best we've had. - Overall we enjoyed staying at Laguna Arenal. The best part of the stay was the view! The balcony oversees the lake and rainforest below. Anna and the rest of the staff are very friendly and professional. The room was just as described and they cleaned the room everyday while we were there for four nights. The breakfast they served was excellent. Anna was very personable and helped us with making reservations at a local attraction that we were having difficulty with. She also invited us to a fantastic dinner one of the nights while we were there. It was one of the best dinners we had in Costa Rica. There are two recommendations we would like to acknowledge. First, the water in the showers need to be a little hotter. Second, it would be great if there were coffee makers in the individual rooms so that we could enjoy some coffee early while sitting on the balcony. However, we did see that other guests were able to go down to the kitchen area and bring coffee back to the rooms.
• Ljkelsey (10/5): Lake Arenal Treasure - Ana was an incredible host! The gourmet breakfasts and dinner we had with her were the best in Costa Rica. Our private room was tucked under beautiful trees with a large balcony and lake views. We even were visited by a group of toucans who kept us thrilled for an hour. We'd highly recommend a stay here. We didn't realize when we booked that the lake was further from the property than we thought. However, the beautiful surroundings and ambience, and the lack of noisy tourists made it a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the area.
• Juby (10/5): Just perfect! - The property is very nice. The views are amazing! The breakfast was very good! Highly recommended!
• Sina (10/5): We got to wake up to an amazing view everyday, rain or shine - The view and hosts are makes it worth it to come back to this place
• Lisney (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kim (10/5): One of the best accommodations & location ever!!! - We loved Laguna Arenal the minute we arrived. Our accommodations were perfect, very clean, bathroom very spacious and updated. The view from our cabin was amazing!!! Breakfasts were incredible!!! A lot of variety with fresh ingredients. Wifi worked very well. Our host's: Milena & Bastiaan, were the best! Extremely accommodating, paid attention to details and also aimed to please. Access to hot water 24/7, to make tea without having to bother our hosts.
• Zalina (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! Beautiful location, very hospitable owners and amazing rooms with unforgettable view. I will gladly come back.
• Franz (10/5): Great Hotel and Even greater Services! - View is amazing
• Shoresh (8/5): Private place with amazong view. - the location is amazing with a beautiful view over the lake. the cabins are well designed. the bed is very comfortable. The place is clean, but not sparkling. Some dust everywhere. There is a hair dryer in the bathroom, but no power supply to plug it in. I personally don’t like the combination of orange and bright green. the place is sold at a high price but the orange headpiece of the bed and frog-green curtains make it look cheap.
• Paula (10/5): Very much worth the value. Staying here felt like being in dream. - The views, the stylish and modern cabins, the food, our lovely host, Ana. Nothing, everything was perfect.
• Matt_g_11 (10/5): Literally, a gem tucked away over a hill! - Breakfast was one of the highlights of our stay here. While I am not the most punctual on holiday to get breakfast, Dona Ana, Magaly, and the other kitchen staff made me look forward to breakfast each day. They were preparing almost everything on site and it was always delicious. Don Bastian, did a wonderful job checking us in, giving us a walk around of the property, and explaining everything to us super well. Overall, this was a wonderful experience.
• Mauricio (10/5): Wonderfull boutique hotel - Excellent attention probided by owners Nothing
• Loredana (10/5): It was a really relaxing and enjoyable stay, starting with the great location, stunning views, modern and comfortable ca - New and modern cabin, very comfortable, in the middle of nature, phenomenal views. Nothing that I did not like about it. Everything was great.
• Lynn (10/5): Exceptional - everything it was amazing a hidden gem
• Virginia (10/5): Heavenly ! - This unique place has been built with great care and has everything you need and the most wonderful views . sitting on your private balcony you see incredible sunsets and hear a wonderful soundscape of wildlife . The owners are lovely with great advice about what to do in the area and the breakfasts are great too . highly recommended to get away from the hustle and bustle of La Fortuna.
• Ava (10/5): magical place to stay. - This place was magical! your room have a overview of the lake and jungle and it’s so beautiful and relaxing! the room very clean and nice! the service was excellent. the owner Ana was super host, she treats her guest like her own family! she genuinely care! don’t miss the breakfast! cause Ana’s breakfast were delicious. we highly recommend this place and we will def come back. the view, cleanses and the location!
