La Fortuna

"The bungalow had a great rustic feel. The view of Arenal Volcano was spectacular out of the large windows in the morning. The property is 9km out of La Fortuna, but it's only 3 or 4 minute's drive from many of the hot springs and about 10 minutes from the restaurant hub in La Fortuna. The staff were very friendly (I've yet to meet a Costa Rican who wasn't) and I would recommend staying here to anyone."

Noah's Forest by Tifakara

10/10 Excellent

"An Unforgettable Honeymoon Experience! Our stay at Noah Forest Hotel was absolutely amazing! We came here for our honeymoon, and it was truly one of the best experiences we could have ever asked for. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. The entire team made us feel so welcome and special, and we are incredibly grateful for the wonderful people we had the pleasure of meeting during our stay. The breakfast was amazing, and we loved the attention to detail throughout the hotel. The rooms were beautifully maintained, the housekeeping team did an outstanding job, and every team member we encountered contributed to making our experience even more beautiful and memorable. What truly sets this hotel apart is its incredible staff and the genuine care they show their guests. They went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We left with beautiful memories that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Noah Forest Hotel to anyone looking for exceptional hospitality and a wonderful place to stay. We would absolutely love to come back! Thank you to the entire team jason, adrian, modesto and Steven for making the beginning of our married life even more special! ❤️🥂"
