Our stay at hotel secreto was perfect! Walkable to everything in La Fortuna. Fabricio working the front desk was so kind and accommodating. The pool was just another amazing feature to relax in and the complementary breakfast was delicious! We even saw a sloth right out front the minute we arrived!

Hotel Secreto in is a gem, it is located close to the main shopping and dining area in La Fortuna but is very quiet at the same time. The rooms are big, very modern, clean and the beds are super comfy. The A/C works great and the shower has good pressure. The staff is super friendly, helpful and striving to make your stay special. On a clear day, you can see Arenal Volcano from your balcony/patio. The pool is nice and located in the center of the small property surrounded by amazing flora. The free breakfast was really good (they offer 3 options) and the coffee amazing. I highly suggest a stay here and would certainly book it again myself when back in La Fortuna.

This was a great property and great stay! It was walkable to multiple restaurants and the park. Shuttles were able to come pick us up and drop us off for excursions. All the staff were smiling super hospitable and especially a special shoutout to Fabricio who checked us in and was amazingly helpful in getting us situated in the room and great restaurant recommendations. We went in May and the volcano top was a little cloudy but there was a day it cleared up enough we could see the volcano top from this hotel. It had a beautiful tree path walking to and from our room with flowers and birds. Room was comfortable with ACs and clean room and showers. Beds are firm mattresses and firmer pillows. Breakfast had 3 meal options to pick from each morning and each was great. Coffee and a juice that changed daily. Great stay here.

Awesome hotel in great location

Staff very nice and responsive with everything from pointing out the two sloths on the property to giving change to cleaning up water that seeped under door into room from a major downpour. Location was great. Only downside was they were very strict on checkin time.

As a solo traveller I enjoyed my stay at this charming hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The property is a small oasis. The staff were so personable and helpful. The gardens on the property were maintained so beautifully. The breakfast was satisfying and I enjoyed the gallon pinto. Everything was well maintained and secure. The pool area was beautiful. Outside each room were lounge chairs. I was able to book tours through the front desk. Many delicious dining options available within walking distance, as well as the Central Park.

Place was fair. Room smelled mildewy. No screen on the window so you couldnt air it out. It was fairly what was expected. The main reason we wouldn’t return is the wifi simply did not work. Not very good thing for us visiting from out of the country
