The serene atmosphere and stunning views make this place unforgettable, but what truly made our stay magical was the top-notch spa and service from the staff. We had the best massage of our lives—it was pure perfection. The therapists were incredibly skilled, and the tranquil open-air setting elevated the entire experience. To top it off, we were treated to the enchanting sight of monkeys playing in the trees during our massage! It felt like something out of a dream. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and fresh. Nothing quite like starting your day with a freshly brewed cup of coffee while toucans flutter through the trees.

We had the most amazing time in Costa Rica, and it was the highlight of our trip—and one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had globally.
Nestled deep in the lush jungle at the base of a volcano, this resort offers a truly unforgettable experience. The setting alone is breathtaking, with nature all around, sounds of the forest, and views that make you stop and soak it all in. If we had known just how incredible this place would be, we absolutely would have planned to stay longer.
The staff were exceptional—warm, caring, always smiling. We felt genuinely welcomed and pampered in a very natural, unpretentious way. It felt like we were truly special guests.
There is so much to do in this region—from waterfall hikes to hot springs and wildlife watching. It's the perfect place to connect with nature and unwind in luxury. Honestly, this stay reminded me of the tranquility and beauty I’ve experienced in Andaz Bali and Thailand.

The room is neat and tidy. The proprieter told me they install new matrasses on a regular basis as they do with the sheets. So that is a big 5 stars! The shower is adequate and it is great to have your own toilet. Breakfast is so nice! Fresh local fruit bread, jam and butter and the coffee is delicious.
Nice and green garden. Garden makes your stay private. It was nice and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Superb volcano view when it’s clear. Lovely chicken.
The rooms were so clean and the bed so comfortable. Having AC was also a gift! The staff were kind, professional, and helpful. The gym was also clean and nice. The restaurant was affordable and delicious. We also appreciated the shuttle service and entertaining shuttle driver Marvin. Everyone was so hospitable. Five stars! Highly recommend!
5 stars for the location of the hotel and the beautiful view from the garden. We had a good breakfast and the staff was nice.
For the price we were not expecting a 5 star hotel, so I must say that our expectation was low. But the host was super friendly and provided us clear directions and suggestions for good activities.
Fabulous place to stay. Very helpful and informative hosts. This place has a 5 star feel and the Chocolate tour is a must, it will probably be the best one you do.
The rooms were very spacious and awesome. We had three king size beds which were very comfortable and the rooms were very clean and the Wi-Fi was good the parking was excellent and there was a full kitchenette which was great. It took a little bit of extra communication to get on the Frog tour which was very very five star excellent. Definitely the Frog tour was a highlight of the stay.
The room was exceptional and reception was very helpful in organizing wonderful experiences while in La Fortuna. Noylin at the front desk was a big part of making this stay the best. I’d give it better than 5 stars.
