Lovely hotel
Lovely rooms and very comfortable beds. Wish the hot tubs were more functional. Manager Juan went out of his way to make us comfortable after a delay in transportation. All staff were very sweet and helpful. The hotel has a bar which is not used cause its not advertised much. It has the opportunity to even convert to a club or lounger.. awesome design there.

Vacation with family. We stayed for 5 nights at the property. We have the Junior suite, balcony volcano view. The view was amazing. The staffs were very friendly and kind. The property is located in the center of everything, walk distance to town, convenient to all major attractions, pharmacy and urgent care is right next door if needed. We will stay again if we ever plan to visit La Fortuna again!
