Beautiful oasis

Beautiful place! The hotel is tucked up the hill on a gravel road that would be manageable in any car if you drive carefully. There is access to hiking from the hotel and nature all around. William and staff were very helpful and always available. William can help book any kind of experience you’d like in the area and has great recommendations and advice. Would definitely stay here again!

Volcano Gold Loft is a gem in the Costa Rica jungle. Our room was spacious with a beautiful view off the jungle, great A/C and comfortable beds. The host was phenomenal and assisted us in planning our daily itinerary. Every recommendation he made was spot on. 10/10 would recommend.

+++ William was out of this world kind and took us out to see a sloth up in a tree nearby. The breakfast was good. The pool & jacuzzi areas were nice. - The rooms were humid and smelled like moist. We had a deluxe room ans nothing was really deluxe of it. The cleaning people lost our room key & so our room and bed weren’t done for a day. A bit out of La Fortuna and 1700 meters down a long unpaved road.

A very unique location situated on a long dirt road on a hill. Not easily accessible without a good vehicle but the location is quaint, quiet, and secluded. The pool and hot tub were a nice touch but the hot tub was not easy to walk too and had to be requested to use. The breakfast that was included was decent but the prices for the dinner menu were very expensive and so were the alcoholic drinks. The receptionists were very kind and nice.

Luxury with views

Nice luxury accommodations in the rainforest. Great choices for breakfast and amazing views. Need a car because it is a short drive from La Fortuna. Owners are opening horseback riding tours and night tours so I would check that out for sure. Book your own massage don’t go through front desk. I went to aesthetic spa 1 in las fortuna. It was awesome.

We were greeted by Luis, who not only spoke very good English, was a super host. He spent time with us explaining the area and helping us with our Española. The room was very clean and comfortable the food was very good also. If we ever travel here again, we will definitely stay again at Volcano Gold Loft. THANK YOU LUIS!!!

Peace, Quiet and Relaxing

We wanted a hotel that had peace, quiet and was relaxing. This hotel fit our needs perfectly. It is off the beaten path, but not too far away if you have a car. You can be to the center of La Fortuna in 10 minutes. The hotel has blackout curtains, which makes it perfect if you want to sleep in! And a comfortable king size bed! They serve 3 options of breakfast every morning from 7:30am - 9:00am. The only downside is if you want a room with a fridge, coffee maker, microwave, etc. However, when you are on vacation, you can make do. Luis was super friendly. He handled the front desk and served breakfast. He bent over backwards to meet our needs. If your looking for a place to rest and relax, but yet not too far from the center of La Fortuna, this is the place for you.
