The cottage is tucked in nature. I stayed in the two bedroom villa. It was clean and had the basic amenities to make your stay comfortable. The staff was very helpful too. If you want to enjoy a quiet nature stay, this is the place. I also saw a lot of beautiful birds near our cottage in the morning.

I enjoyed staying here. Maximo was very helpful and provided us with everything we needed. The room needed some repairs though. Breakfast was really far from the hotel and wasn’t great honestly. Location is great. Right next to the waterfall, you can walk!

This beautiful property is located just a couple minutes from the La Fortuna Waterfall via a private driveway. It is nestled in the gorgeous lush mountainside and it is so so quiet and DARK. Not to worry - there is a security staff on site 24 hours a day. We checked in late well after dark. Security led us via motorbike to our villa which had amazing views

Valeria checked us in. She's amazing. Room is clean and has a beautiful view. We had a minor issue with no water in our lodge but the admins got to work on it right away. Very quiet, at the base of the volcano and a 12 minute walk from the La Fortuna waterfall. Kind of has a log cabin feel with beautiful views. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite. Large rooms, individual bathrooms on each side and a mini kitchen (fridge, microwave, coffee maker). Great for families. We'd stay again

The staff were very friendly, the bungalow felt like you are in the rainforest- great ambiance. The reason for the lower score, this was a special occasion and we were looking for something different from hotels. We were notified that the pool and restaurant were closed for renovations a day prior to our departure making it too late to cancel or rebook. The room although interesting was in need of renovations the ceiling looked like it was started to be painted but was not finished. There was a stove and kitchenet in the the bungalow but it was disconnected - dissapointing as we bought groceries to find out we could not use it. I think once the renovations are complete this will be a nice place to stay. Im very dissapointed that they were not honest about ongoing renovations. Also the waterfall although close to the property is not part of the property and will cost you $20us per person. Another misleading feature.
