Great spot near tiwn. Both hottubs had broken jets so nothing to sooth your muscles after all the hiking. They also close everything down very early...10pm but thats ok. You can sit outside quiet. Staff was very nice.

It’s a good hotel for the price. The Souvenir Shop is a bit of a turnoff but that’s what La Fortuna has become. Staff at restaurant was wonderful. Food was good, too. Cool pool is cold and hot pools are warm.

Good location and staff
The location looks great and the staff workers, friendly and helpful. The cabin was nice except for there were some issues with the toilet running on and the shower door. The breakfast choices are very limited. We did not have time to use the swimming pool as we opted to go to thermal Spa nearby.
