GGuest UserThe hotel is great and the staff is even greater. The overall decoration of the whole premisses is very beautiful and there's a nice garden facing all rooms. The room was spacious and clean, the bathroom has a good size and the bath space is big. The shower has a good volume of water and the heating works fine. The room also has a closet, a drying rack for clothes (very helpful with all the hot springs and rain), a small fridge and air conditioning. There are two pools and they are well cleaned. But the staff is the real highlight of the hotel. Everyone is super friendly, polite and helpful. They cook an amazing breakfast and can also help finding the best tours. I couldn't have asked for a better stay at La Fortuna. Highly recommended. Thanks everyone for the great stay, keep up the good work!

GGuest UserWe had a wonderful experience with Casa Luna! The hotel property is beautiful with an amazing garden. Room was clean and well maintained. Breakfast was delicious! The hotel staff are very nice and ready to help. One night we were walking in the garden, we ran into a hotel security, Dimas (hope I got the name right). We asked about animals. Dimas right away gave us a tour and showed us so many animals! We saw sloth, snake, frogs (including the green one), alligator, fresh water crab...all in the hotel garden!!! The garden is a paradise. Inside the hotel property, all we could hear was the sounds of insects, frogs, birds... We are so happy that we stayed at Casa Luna!

There is quite spacious terrace with the table like “bar counter”. Breakfast is typical costarricense and preparing quite quickly.

AAndreHotel located close to La Fortuna Waterfall and the trail to Cerro Chatota (lake where once was the crater of a volcano). Excellent option for those who want to go on the trail, as non-guests need to pay a fee of 15 dollars to enter the property (the trail starts within the hotel grounds). The trail is not for everyone, the difficulty level is high. Old but functional rooms. Friendly and helpful staff.
