• Roger (10/5): -
• Mary (10/5): -
• Frank (8/5): -
• Vince (4/5): Okay for a short stay, as long as you can tolerate the mattress. - The onsite restaurant and garden. The mattress. Very bad for your back.
• Susan (10/5): Hidden gem near the heart of La Fortuna! - I loved the restaurant and the stream on the property! Only that the bed wasn’t super comfortable but the room was very nice
• Dyala (10/5): -
• JOSE DOMINGO (8/5): - La ubicación y el trato del personal El desayuno un poco escaso
• Oscar Morera (10/5): Casi todo excelente - Comodidad de habitación y ubicación La actitud de las personas del restaurante cuando llegamos cerca de la hora final del desayuno.
• Kristen (9/5): Beautiful hotel with nature included - Our room was at the end of the property surrounded by nature. It was such a great place to stay. Very clean. Excellent restaurant which made the included breakfast even more valuable. The room was really nice and the staff is helpful. Our only complaint was that the bed was REALLY firm. Which of course is a personal preference. It wouldn't stop us from booking here again!
• LUIS ORTIZ SASTRE (10/5): - El personal, fenomenal. Las vistas al volcán desde nuestra habitación en planta primera. El desayuno estaba rico. El aparcamiento al lado de las habitaciones. La ubicación cerca de la misma plaza del pueblo. Todo realmente bien.
• Monica (8/5): Hele fijne verblijf. Zeer ruime kamers, top personeel, fijn ontbijt, mooie tuinen en goede parkeergelegenheid - Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzame personeel. Fantastische tuin en mini bosje langs het water. Wij hadden 4 kamers geboekt. In 1 kamer lekte de airco behoorlijk en deden de lampen het ineens niet meer. Andere kamer zeer harde hoofdkussens en een hoop herrie van de airco apparaat op dak wanneer die aan stond. Desondanks, een hele fijne verblijf gehad. Zeer tevreden vertrokken
• Dina (9/5): - Great place; nice staff. Very clean
• Judy (10/5): Great hotel in central La Fortuna. Good value on booking.com - Great restaurant.spacious rooms.friendly staff. -Reception area needs a makeover -breakfast fruit offering a bit mean
• Mariya (8/5): - The location is perfect for exploring La Fortuna and surrounding attractions. The grounds are beautiful - the frog gardens and small path near the creek attract so much wildlife! We had amazing birding opportunities, and even saw a sloth hanging out in the trees for our entire stay. The included breakfast options were pretty good and quite filling. The rooms could use some maintenance. The sliding glass doors were kind of crooked and difficult to close/lock. The air conditioner was questionable, but I think it did work ok for our stay.
• Clara (10/5): -
• GEORGIOS (10/5): - excellent environment, friendly staff,
• Manuel (7/5): Nettes Hotel um 1 Nacht in La Fortuna zu übernachten - Nettes kleines Hotel. Schöner, kleiner Pool. Zentral in La Fortuna gelegen. Gutes Frühstück.
• Roger (9/5): -
• James (9/5): -
• Louis (8/5): -
• Harold (10/5): Comfortable well located and hotel. Really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it. - Comfortable spacious room with lovely noise of the running creek and wildlife. Great cafe / restaurant. Fantastic attentive staff Nothing really
• Sarah (8/5): Great location, lovely grounds for flora, birds and wildlife. Would certainly recommend to others - Location in La Fortuna was excellent as very close to all restaurants and shops. Staff helpful with booking tours. Being close to the river and wildlife garden was amazing. Saw chameleon, amazing birds and lovely trees and flowers, and a sloth further up the road from the hotel! Breakfast was very sparse and didn’t even have orange juice one morning. Plates laid out with small amount of fruit and had to order from menu. A buffet option would have been much better.
• Thomas (9/5): -
• Sergio (8/5): Calidad/ precio muy buena - La zona del bar junto con meseros y cocineros y el equipo de servicio de limpieza con detalles en la habitación cada día. Las habitaciones requieren actualizarse junto con la ropa de cama.
• Guiselle (10/5): Naturaleza 🍃 - Que incluyan el desayuno 😁 y la ubicación del hotel tan cerca de la parada del bus 🚌 para los que no tenemos carro. Se escucha el ruido en otras habitaciones, sobre todo la de arriba. Eso interrumpe el sueño 🥱
• Susanne (9/5): Sehr schönes Hotel mit großen Zimmern und tollem Bad direkt in La Fortuna - Wunderschönes großes Zimmer im Erdgeschoß. Riesengroßes Badezimmer. Bequemes Bett. Schöne geschmackvolle Einrichtung. Eines unserer schönsten Hotels auf der Reise. Wir hätten gerne verlängert aber sie waren ausgebucht. Es gibt einen Parkplatz am Gelände. Der Ort ist gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Dass wir nicht verlängern konnten :-)
• véronique (9/5): Bel hôtel bien située - L’emplacement et propreté Rien
• Vivien (9/5): Nettes kleines Hotel & zuvorkommendes Personal - Auf Wunsch wurde ein Fliegennetz an unserem Bad kurzfristig angebracht, aufmerksame Putzfee, nettes Personal Unbequeme Stühle auf dem Balkon
• Federico (10/5): Excelente opción precio-calidad cerca del centro de La Fortuna - Todo estuvo perfecto, excelente ubicación en La Fortuna Nada! todo muy recomendable
• Abbie (10/5): Great value - It's very centrally located which made going out for dinner very easy. The breakfast has lots of options and is very good and in a lovely setting by the river. Super comfy and large bed in the kingsize room. We may have got lucky but we had an amazing toucan sighting from the hotel balcony. We had an infestation of tiny bugs in our room so had to be careful about leaving any food/drinks on the side. But the rooms are cleaned every day which helped a lot. We wanted to try the restaurant in the evening but were turned away as they already had 2 tables in which was a shame.
• Yoko (9/5): -
• Gutierrez (10/5): Exelente - La habitacion muy confortable,limpia,y el desayuno muy rico,muy amable el personal
• Guest (5/5): -
• Sonali (10/5): Book this place and look no further! - Look no further! Just book it!! We were 3 adults and were very happy with this place. I did a lot of research before going and we just returned from out 10 day trip to Costa Rica. This hotel was one of our favs. The facilities were very clean, the location is fantastic, pick up for tours is possible here, walk to restarants. We had the last room on ground floor - I think room # 12. We are vegetarian and we were very satisfied with the options. The plate of fruits was appreciated. .

• ANTONIN (8/5): -
• Felicia (9/5): -
• Jürgen (9/5): - Für la Fortuna ruhige Lage am Fluss,Wäscheservice top Hat schon bessere Zeiten gesehen, Kühlschrank sehr laut
• John (9/5): Well located comfortable hotel, quiet, next to nature, good restaurant. - Room was facing the stream, quiet, comfortable. Restaurant was very good if a little pricey, situated overlooking the stream. Feel like you are in a natural park although in the town. Good sized room, comfortable. A few blocks from many restaurants and the town square, walking distance to several nature parks, plenty of parking. Left early for birding tour and asked for a takeaway breakfast which turned out to be pretty lame. Two pieces of white bread with a thin slice of ham. The next day I ordered 3 bananas for the takeaway breakfast and was much happier. There is a small coffee place next door that opens at 5am with good coffee and breakfast pastries, rolls, etc that was very good and that worked out better. Another weird thing is only one key per room, so when I left early for a tour, I had to lock the door and slide the key under the door so my partner could unlock and get out! Owner policy is only one key!
• Manuel (10/5): calidad y excelencia - todo fué excelente desde la recepción hasta la salida
• antonio (10/5): Motel type accom with a garden, parking, good restaurant and very well located - nice breakfast hearing the river running below. the location is excellent. near the little bus station, on the route to the Arenal lake. our room has a view to the volcano. it has a frog garden, we did see some of them. big parking. walking distance (5 minutes) to supermarkets, car rentals, laundry services, restaurants, bars. it has a good restaurant vith quite reasonable prices. and a wellcome cocktail. we really enjoy our stay. i can not think about anything
• Birthe (9/5): -
• Sheyla Flores Rodriguez (10/5): Ideal para relajarse - Desayuno muy bueno, el rio que esta a la par del hotel es precioso, el lugar esta muy bien cuidado, el lugar donde esta ubicado bastante centrico
• James (7/5): -
• Lucianetta (10/5): - Posizione in una zona tranquilla residenziale. Struttura e camera bellissima molto ampia e pulita. Vicino a ristoranti e negozi. Staff super gentile e accogliente. .
• Udo (9/5): - Die Lage ist zentral, zu Fuß kann man die Stadt sehr gut erkunden. Wenn man auf der Hotelanlage ist merkt man nicht, dass man in einer Stadt ist. Ausreichend Parkplätze vorhanden - Lage 1a. Frühstück in dem Restaurant. Es gab für jeden einen Obstteller, A la Card konnte man sich dann für eine Speise entscheiden (Eier oder Pancakes oder schon Reiß mit Bohnen. W-Lan funktioniert überall. nichts- keine Verbesserungsvorläge
• Szczurewna (8/5): Nice hotel in La Fortuna - The hotel is located by the river, where you can watch birds, and the restaurant serves excellent meals. Restaurants, shops, and the town center are all within walking distance. Breakfast is very basic. The river—which isn't the hotel's fault—is polluted.
• Véronique (10/5): -
• MattiaDC (8/5): -
• David (9/5): - Un accueil très sympathique Le lit uniquement 140cm
• Nicola (8/5): -
• Meudt (10/5): Super freundliche Mitsrbeiter, Perfekte Lage - Die Lage ist perfekt, um die kleine Stadt zu Fuß zu erkunden. Das dazugehörige Restaurant ist hervorragend. Alles sauber und ordentlich. Und das wichtigste, die Mitarbeiter sind super. Gastfreundlich, hilfsbereit und herzlich. Ich würde immer wieder dort buchen.
• TAMMY (8/5): -
• Diarmuid (10/5): Fantastic value lovely hotel in a wonderful setting - Beautiful setting close to centre of La Fortuna but lovely riverside by the restaurant made us feel close to nature. Food excellent and we saw kingfisher and heron at breakfast with colourful small frogs nearby. All staff: reception, cleaners, chefs, waiters, gardener were really friendly and helpful. Great value for money, especially with the plunge pool/small swimming pool. No negatives that we can think of
• Marie Lise (8/5): Bon sejour - Situation . confort Partant de tres bonne heure nous n'avons pas pu avoir de petit dejeuner
• Marie (7/5): Grande chambre très propre et resto convivisl - Resto agréable , propreté de la chsmbre Ensemble un peu vétuste malgré sa grande propreté.
• Marie Sara-Pier (9/5): - Large, clean rooms. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was delicious
• Julien (9/5): Bon hôtel - Bon hôtel
• Verny C (10/5): -
• VALERIE (9/5): Une très agréable halte - Le confort de la chambre, la piscine, le restaurant de l'hôtel, la gentillesse de l'accueil. RAS
• Pía (8/5): - Las instalaciones son muy bonitas y limpias. Las recepcionistas, en particular Oldis fue muy amable y siempre con disposición en ayudar. El personal del desayuno podría tener más iniciativa.
• Claus (8/5): Wir waren gerne hier. - Ein großes Zimmer mit zwei großen Betten. Schöner Frühstücksplatz im Freien. Der Straßenverkehr ist deutlich zu hören und stört am Abend und am frühen Morgen.
• christophe (9/5): Bel hôtel agréable au cœur de la Fortuna - La belle chambre spacieuse avec grande terrasse avec vue sur jardin luxuriant Le confort du lit et des oreillers Le petit déjeuner de qualité ( pancakes délicieux) Le restaurant : cadre agréable et cuisine de qualité La localisation en plein centre ville mais au calme Le personnel agréable, aidant et souriant Le beau jardin tropical au bord de la rivière Les portes des voisins qui claquent L’ouverture des portes ne peut se faire facilement car certaines bloquent sur le sol et il faut forcer pour les ouvrir ou fermer
• Franki (10/5): Excelente atención. - La atención en el restaurante fue excelente. La ubicación es muy buena. El hotel es muy tranquilo. Todo bien.
• Miguel (9/5): Hotel en lindo entorno. - Es un lindo hotel. Amplias instalaciones y tiene un jardin al borde del rio que lo hace muy agradable. Nada de que quejarme.
• Liselotte (8/5): -
• Isabelle (10/5): -
• Anna (9/5): En perfekt beliggenhed for at udforske La Fortuna - Beliggenheden tæt på floden gjorde, at der var meget dyre- og fugleliv. Vi havde udsigt mod haven (og vulkanen) fra øverste etage, hvilket kan anbefales. Det var lidt væk fra centrum, men i gåafstand fra det hele. Der var flere valgmuligheder for glimrende morgenmad. Intet
• Paulo (10/5): Excelente estancia - Un lugar cómodo, limpio y su personal muy amable Nada
• Fiona (10/5): Great hotel, highly recomment. - Grounds were beautiful, breakfast was very good. Welcome drink was also excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful, Room was large and clean.
• Daniel (8/5): 2 nights in La Fortuna. - The location was great for getting into town. The hotel is next to a small river and some forest with lots of wildlife. The restaurant to the hotel was great and had a good selection of food. The rooms are a little dated, but still tidy.
• Dominik (9/5): - Die Lage vom Hotel ist perfekt. Sehr zentral und doch in einer Seitenstrasse. Personal sehr aufmerksam, vor allem beim Frühstück. Dank der netten Dame heisst unser Faultier Plüschtier Pepe, da es noch keinen Name hatte. Zimmer gut eingerichtet.
• Daniel (9/5): - Food, room
• Sylvie (10/5): - L accueil,l emplacement en ville mais avec un parc près d une rivière qui permet d observer toucans,aras,grenouilles.petit dejeuner excellent Rien
• ellen8888 (8/5): Great location - Location was great as was the room and breakfast. Cute little hotel. Only advice is to lock belongings up.. a small incident thankfully but I would still return
• Perez (10/5): -
• Severin (8/5): -
• Sechien (8/5): -
• Mariano (9/5): - Buena ubicación de todas las actividades a realizar, bellísimo parque selvático, se encuentra sobre el río con una gran vista, el personal es súper amable y el restaurante es excelente.
• Roos (8/5): 2 nights - The towel fold, good breakfast by the river, good location to walk to restaurants. Theres a small frog garden but we didnt see any frogs unfortunately. Very noisy when its raining and windy
• Nadine (7/5): Bel hôtel, simple mais environnement magnifique et bien entretenu - Le cadre, l'environnement et la propreté des lieux, tant intérieur que l'extérieur, c'est splendide. La grandeur du lit double, il est petit pour 2
• Renee (10/5): - The Garden view from our room on the second story was exceptional. I could see all sorts of birds. I even saw toucans! Very clean and well maintained. Has a mini resort feel. Good space. It was worth it getting the included breakfast. Delicious fruit and coffee and a good selection of breakfast cooked fresh for you.
• Emily (8/5): - Great location - loved eating breakfast by the river. Clean and great staff. Very hard bed which my partner loved but wasn’t for me!
• Betty (10/5): Hotel Monte Real was in a beautiful setting and room was clean and comfortable. Would stay again. - Breakfasts were great and good choices. Both days though coffee was served in a carafe and was only lukewarm. Location was perfect within walking distance of restaurants. More complimentary coffees in room.
• Daniela (6/5): Personal desinformado - La habitación era muy cómoda y todo estaba en perfectas condiciones. Tenían máquina de café y un balcón con vista al volcán. El personal de la recepción fue muy amable pero no contaban con suficiente información como para asesorarme respecto a traslados hacia el parque nacional o hacia otras ciudades. Cuando consultaba al respecto me decían que no sabían cómo podía viajar, cuando en otros hoteles siempre me han sabido asesorar y hasta reservar los shuttles para mi siguiente destino. Por suerte desde un hostel me hicieron el favor de reservar el shuttle. A su vez, cuando avisé que haría el check out antes de las 6 AM, tuve que pedir yo misma a la gente del restaurant que me prepararan un desayuno para llevar, y fueron ellos quienes me indicaron dónde dejar la llave, contradiciendo lo indicado por la recepcionista, lo que demuestra falta de comunicación y desconocimiento. Por último, reciben grupos de adolescentes en el hotel, por lo que se pierde toda tranquilidad cuando los dejan gritar en la pileta por la noche.
• Arlette (10/5): Habitaciones súper limpias - Excelente
• Yeltsin (10/5): Excelente - Excelente Excelente
• Beate (9/5): A hidden gem, great for wildlife spotting - Absolutely loved our stay here. The location with the lush river backdrop and the beautiful garden was amazing. It was so quiet. We saw a sloth right on the first day, also toucans, frogs, poison dart frogs, a king fisher, iguanas, vultures. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the à la card breakfast was cooked to our liking. The veggie omelet was really great. The balcony was great to dry clothes and the fridge was really big. I would have liked tea making facilities in the room but that doesn’t seem to be a thing in CR in general.
• Elliot (10/5): - Restaurant was fantastic and some of the best food we had on the whole trip. Staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful and the location was amazing. The hotel grounds were very pretty and well kept. Not much to dislike.
• Florin (9/5): -
• Maris (8/5): Good solution for a night or two, if passing through La Fortuna. - Convenient location, just a few blocks from the main square and town centre. Nice and friendly service - in the reception, at the restaurant and by the cleaning staff. Spacious room. The hotel did not really look too modern, but was a comfortable, convenient stay for us for 1 night. Really tasty omelette in the morning :). Good solution if only passing through La Fortuna. If staying more than a night or two, I would opt for something fancier though. Pool looked like an unclean, unused bathtub, full of debris.
