Loved this place, the property is beautiful with lots of trees and the river right behind it that my kids wnjoyed exploring. Felt very inmersed in the Costa rican nature and the place itself had verything we needed and accomodted all of us bif family. Loved the clean white cotton bed sheets and soft mattresses. We cooked several meals there and reated very well. The personnel was excellent and helpful. Had our clothes washed in 2 hours right on time for our trip.Th

Closed Down!
We didn't even get to stay there because it was closed! We paid for and booked in advance, got the email for check in which state was from 7 am- 9 pm. Got there at 5 pm and everything was closed. Reception was locked with a sign that said they would be back. There was a number on the door which we called and no answer. We tried messaging but got nothing. We stayed for an hour and no one came so we finally had to go find a new place to stay last minute which cost us a lot and was very frustrating. We finally were contacted later at 9 pm when we already had a place. We asked for a refund and they refused. Very disappointed.

Excellent for a family stay
One of the best places we have stayed in Costa Rica. Large open apaces for the children to run around in, a beautiful river to dip in, a pristine football pitch and very comfortable family rooms with a ery well-appointed kitchen! Credit also to Elias for great communication and a warm welcome. 👍😉

Our room overlooked the river. We had fireflys at night, chamelions in the day and real peace and quiet. There is everythng you could need pools fed by the river, trails through the grounds, kitchens barbeques all in good condition. Easy to get to on a good road and close enough to town.

Our room was nice and clean and we had a beautiful view out of our bedroom window and off of our balcony. There was a river that runs right behind the rooms, it was great listening to that a night. It was great sitting out on our balcony, the balcony is compact though. The little kitchen was nice and suited our needs just fine. Unfortunately the pool was not working while we were there, but it was to cool and it was raining the whole time so we wouldn't have used it anyway.

Host was a family and very friendly and helpful. Property was beautiful. We did have a leak during rain but host was quick to respond and bring towels. We also had a dog barking during the night from next door property but host offered to contact neighbors. Would stay here again. Very neat and unique property.

The property was lovely & the rooms were fine; however we had no hot water in the shower for the 2 nights we were there. We spoke to the reception person the morning of our second stay and were assured the problem had been solved. However we had no hot water for our second night either.

El lugar es genial. La pasamos muy bien mi familia y yo. Único detalle es que el área de juegos está descuidada (juegos en mal estado). Se disfruta muchísimo la vegetación y se nota que todo ha sido construido para preservar la naturaleza. Es un negocio familiar y las personas aue atienden son muy amables. Las piscinas y el río riquísimas para los días calurosos, y el jacuzzi también estuvo genial. Están constantemente mejorando y noté que están ampliando el área de senderos (por ahora son poquitos, pero te permite llegar un más arriba en el río donde hay posas increíbles para relajarse con el agua fría). El lugar está muy cerca del centro de la Fortuna, por lo cual en pocos minutos se puede acceder a restaurantes, templo católico, souvenirs, e incluso ir a visitar termales o el volcán Arenal. Volvería nuevamente con mi familia.
