Good walking distance to the main strip in La Fortuna with many restaurants and stores. Good driving distance to many tourist sites. The room was very clean and room service did an excellent job at cleaning. The hotel staff was friendly and happy to assist in any way they could. I’ll recommend this hotel to friends.

Alejandro and Jo were so helpful with recommending excursions and restaurants!! There are only about 15 rooms, so we were able to become very familiar with the staff. The pillows feel like clouds and the showers have nice, hot water! The air conditioner works well too. I absolutely would recommend this place. It isn't fancy, but it is clean and everyone is friendly! Breakfast is included and wonderful. This is a very affordable and great place to stay!

Enjoyable experience

We rented 7 rooms for two nights here; wish we would have stayed longer instead of moving on. Our whole family traveled to together. The staff was very helpful in telling us which adventures were the best and which vendors to go to. The rooms are dated but very clean and maintained. The breakfast searched each morning, complimentary, was excellent. Yes, yes, stay here!!

The most comfortable bed!

Pros: The comfortable beds, proximity to downtown, quiet area, nice breakfast.
Cons: Nothing!
Location: The hotel is close to downtown so it is easy to find places to eat and shop. There is a really nice town square where one can relax.
We stayed at Hotel Secreto for 3 nights recently. Of all the places we stayed in Costa Rica it had the most comfortable bed, because it has a box spring! Most hotels place the mattress on a platform, not nearly as comfortable. The hotel is close to downtown but is located in a quiet neighborhood. Alex the owner was friendly and helpful and helped us with arranging an excursion and transportation. The Wifi was very good. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good and served from 7 to 9 AM. We would stay here again.
