The room was nothing like the pictures. It feels like those pictures were taken a long time ago. The hotel is a bit run down. Staff was courteous and it was clean. The environment was nice and very close to waterfall. There is no restaurant on site but breakfast is included and was good.

Ok. La Fortuna has better.

Cute place, loved all the glass. Breakfast was good enough, but to ask for an extra price of bacon you have to have exact change to pay extra. That was tacky and not very customer-friendly. Also, there was something living in the wall between bedroom and kitchen, probably a mouse/rat. And, to be clear, the lodge is not connected to the waterfall- you pay a separate outfit for that.

Very friendly staff, nice and quiet too. Fantastic wildlife all around as it resides a few minutes outside of La Fortuna, up against the rainforest. There is a popular hiking trail and a couple easy loops nearby, as well as a huge waterfall

The property is at the top of the mountain close to Arenal waterfall. It is best for you to have a 4X4 to go up there. The cabin is decent, if you like to be in a cabin inside the woods and have a nice walk in nature. If you like privacy this is not the place to stay. The cabin has windows everywhere for you to look out into the forest which is nice. However, the shower has windows and you just need to pull down the blinds to cover, however, someone could still see you from the outside while taking a shower. Our front door was made of glass without tint or blinds. We had to cover it with sheets to have pricacy at night time. If you are planning to cook, it has a stove, refrigerator, microwave, pots, and utensils. The cabin doesn't have a phone to call the reception. If you need to change towels you will need to go to the front desk to exchange them. The front desk staff is very nice. They will give you tips of the places to visit.

Such a beautiful villa! secluded to the maxxx!! this hotel is the highest on this mountain! The walkway to the rooms are beautiful !!! scary at night when you think about it but totally worth it ! you are pretty far from everything buttttt uber is extremely cheap so I recommend taking advantage! its 2 hrs from San Jose airport. we were able to get transportion for 180 and 150 on the way back. 180 seems to have been their average pricing. The reception office does close at 11 !!! so plan accordingly. beautiful views all around !!

The area around the property is very nice and quiet. The breakfast was mediocre at best. The 3 bedroom villa where we stayed was very spacious. However, there are many needs for improvement. For starters, the lodge had a stale, moldy smell to it that never went away during our 4day stay. It was endured by all of us traveling, but severely irritated my wife's allergies, where she slept with a mask on at night and couldn't wait to leave the lodge the next morning. There were no screen doors to allow fresh air in either. The maintenance was sub-par as one of the bedrooms had wall sconces that didn't work and one was hanging off the wall. We specifically selected properties with private pools, but this one had no filter running in it to clean the water, so that was a no go. The kitchen was dusty, esp. around the cups, bowls and plates, and didn't have things such as paper towels. Running water was at a thin stream and not at a high temperature. The place needs a full remodel imo.

Beautiful scenery

Location by the waterfall was convenient. Restaurants weren't too far to drive too. The breakfast was good. The bar was closed the three days we were there and the weather was too rainy and cool to swim in January. The room was clean but had a musty odor. Probably common in a rainforest area. Front desk employees were helpful and attentive. Bookings tours at the front desk was easy. Parking was easy and safe. The outdoor pool area was very pretty and the hiking trails behind the pool should be fun with the right weather. The staff let us know where to watch to see a sloth, which we did see.

The location is right below the waterfall and if you want to be in the jungle- this is it! The staff are very helpful but this property has seen better days and needs some investment in the grounds and the rooms and villas. The villa we rented was spacious and we thought clean but upon looking closer you see mold in the bathrooms and the villa had some type of critter in the walls that will keep you up at night. There is also a very treacherous path for your car to get to the villas so be warned. It was not what we expected and I would definitely not stay there again.
