A beautiful oasis, just a few mins from the town center. Leo was a true gem- his hospitality, passion for the business, and deep respect for family, made our stay exceptional. This is a family business and they take great pride in their guest experience. The frog tour and garden were awesome and the rooms were meticulously clean. Please go here and support a true local family, and enjoy all that the property has to offer.
Just fantastic. You couldn’t wish for a better base to explore the wonders of La Fortuna. Whether it’s the fantastic breakfast … the local advice, the wonderful accommodation (and its comfortable beds!) or the added experience of Leo’s frog walks this place has it all. 5 stars.
cool walking path behind the property to the river. Leo does a night walk that is worth your time

Truly a treasure.
First hotel of our trip and the very first morning blew our minds. We woke the sound of birds and saw Leo put bananas out and attract a dazzling array of birds. We looked up at the trees and saw howler monkeys and Toucans. We walked into their garden and down to the stream and saw an abundance of poison dart frogs and were mesmerized by the stream at the edge of the garden. All this was before finishing the first cup of coffee, still in our pajamas. Leo and the hotel staff made our stay an absolute delight. Leo will also give you a personal night tour in the garden. This is on par with the many paid night tours we were to take later on in our trip.
Look at the reviews by other guests as well and it might sound incredible to you. But it is all 100% true.
The rooms themselves are spacious, clean and come with a well stocked kitchen. The olive oil and coffee provided is delicious.
In the photos, this might look like a travelodge or highway motel at first glance. Don't be fooled. This is truly a gem of a place.
Supermarkets Rosvil and Cristian are nearby as you head into La Fortuna. Both are excellent.
Leo the manager provides tour of frogs at night and the morning coffee/ bird/monkey sightings.

Great experience
We had a wonderful experience here! Family trip. They have a pool now they're developing. Staff very friendly and helpful! Our girls loved Leo's frog night tour! 3 King beds was so nice. Great kitchenette. Overall great experience!
Expedia did a horrible job. However not the location I wanted, Expedia showed zero concern. As far as the management at this place absolutely above and beyond, great unit, cozy plenty of room and opened my eyes to how much management cared. Excellent stay!!
