If you book a room with multiple beds, you’re going to be put in one of the funky units at the top of the property, away from everything else. The room we stayed in could only be locked with a deabolt using the key and the renovation job wasn’t great. These are not the rooms shown on the website and we heard loud bangs outside our room every night around 10pm. Sounded like gunshots but not sure. Pool was pretty nice, small and shallow grotto-style that our little one could stand up in. Staff was nice.

Beautiful grounds, great food, the chef is very passionate. The hot tubs were very comfortable but the pool water was too chilly for us, not many people used it because of the low water temperature. Also,we stayed in an attached room and could hear every conversation the neighbors had. Overall however we had a pleasant experience.

Had a great rip o la fortuna and the hotel stay was good. The breakfast was good and the rooms were far enough away from town but close enough that it was good. The only downfall from the hotel was the beds were very uncomfortable and hard.

Do yourself a favor and pass this place by.
Beautiful grounds, but that was the end of it. Rooms felt like prison cells. No decoration and one ultra white LED light in the ceiling. Had to use the TV for lighting with the overhead light off. Beds uncomfortable. ~15 seconds of hot water in the shower. They argued with us over and over that there was hot water. Demonstrated it in a faucet outside. I explained that we weren't showering under the faucet outside! Restaurant was only operating at breakfast. To get a beer, you had to go to the front desk, and follow them to the restaurant to retrieve your beer. Asked for extra towels and they charged us for them.

Con gusto!
I really have no complaints about the hotel. Our driver was on time and provided us transport from the airport to the hotel. They allowed us to check in about 4-5 hours early (which was very much appreciated after a loooong flight). Staff was extremely nice and attentive! We had a difficult time finding the breakfast location, and a staff member gladly gave us a ride to show up (about 10 minutes walking, nice scenic walk though). Staff went out of their way to help us get cabs and transportation (staff even drove us into town once and refused payment for it, we still tipped him though!) Staff also assisted us with booking tours. We heard that the hotel is in the process of adding a restuarant and bar, all the more reason to come back! Las Orquideas made our stay in La Fortuna an unforgettable one!!!! Gracias por todo! Pura Vida!

Great room for the price
Great room for the price. The gardens were lovely and the location was quiet. The staff was friendly and knowledgable; their English was so good, I stopped trying to speak Spanish. A very short drive to the waterfall and a bit further to town. Very doable location if you have a car. We especially enjoyed the breakfast offered for an extra fee 200m up the road at an organic farm.
