Nice hotel for La Fortuna area. Less rustic than the other options but you still had the jungle flavor. The swim up bar in the pool was nice as well as the secluded hot tub area. The TV reception in our room was fuzzy. Otherwise pretty good. Breakfast that was included was pretty decent as well, omelettes made to order etc
