GGuest UserThe hotel looks exactly like the images, our room was very spacious, comfortable and clean. The whole hotel has the jungle vibe that’s expected from the area. All the staff were super helpful and friendly. Not walking-distance from a lot of places but we had a car so no problem there. I would visit again.

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.
