It’s a beautiful property has a lot of potential. The Internet doesn’t work, which is great if you wanna completely disconnect. It’s about 15 minutes away from downtown Fortuna so you’ll have to rely on taxis or Ubers to get back-and-forth to different activities. The showers are exposed completely so you can only hope that someone doesn’t walk behind your lodge when you are taking a shower. Getting to some of cabins is tough for elders (multiple stairs).

The staff were very helpful and charming in offering us guidance - how to save on taxis. We were within walking distance of Arenal Waterfall but to get to La Fortuna we needed transportation. The rain was heavier than we expected this time of year- early December. We missed having television in our rooms, but there was a serenity to the location.

Property is beautiful! The views are spectacular! However, the villas are in great need of repair. The curtains had holes in them, multiple lights didn’t work, some lamps are actually hanging of the walls (exposed wiring). We had a kitchen inside the villa, the cabinets were covered in dust. Breakfast was included and it was limited but good.

I don’t really know what to say about this place. In some ways, I loved it! We booked a 1 bedroom villa and were given a huge villa with 4 bed and 2 bedrooms. It had a lovely screened in porch that we spent hours on. We felt like we were in a treehouse. The villa was clean. Daily breakfast was simple but delicious and service was friendly and prompt. On the other hand, the management of this place seemed to not be putting a lot into maintenance and upkeep. The walkway to our villa desperately needed to be swept/leaf blown and was a slippery death trap. The kitchen was huge but was missing some pretty obvious things like forks and dish towels. It also just kind of had an eerie/deserted vibe to it. We initially thought we were the only ones staying here until we saw other guests at breakfast. Given the chance, I would probably stay here again. It was peaceful and felt disconnected but is only a few minute’s drive from town

Cheap place to just have a place to sleep. It's very near to the waterfall entrance, a trail and super close to the forrest. Problem is there is no dinning option around, you need to uber to town for food.

We had a wonderful time. The lodge has a great view of the valley below Arenal, and was very quiet and peaceful. We saw a toucan fly past us while we were in the swimming pool. It is also very close to a great hiking trail, and a very short drive to La Fortuna waterfall. My 7 year old daughter told me this place was magical, and I agree.

Enjoyed this property and staff was so nice and accommodating. I had emailed them through Expedia app letting them know we were severely delayed bc of our flight. When I arrived at midnight, they had my paperwork and keys laid out for me ( since no one was at desk). That was so helpful because I just needed to crash. Free breakfast was good and tasty. It's not a lush place, but definitely a good value for your money. Would definitely stay here again.
