Staff was very friendly and ready to help. We had an issue with the toilet and they came to help right away and resolved the issue. Location was great and very walkable to town. Beautiful grounds and pool looked beautiful. (We didn’t end up using it due to thunderstorms but wished we had been able to). They were wonderful and accommodated our early morning departure with an early breakfast. It was a very nice place to stay.

We had a lovely 4 night stay. Great location, and nice restaurants nearby (especially Trevesia). Great view of the volcano, nice and clean grounds with very friendly staff and guests. Breakfast was simple but good (3 options: eggs fried or scrambled, either with toast, pancakes, or rice/beans). Overall, a nice 3-star hotel, we were happy with this choice.

Una joya con vista al volcán Arenal

Nuestra estadía en el Hotel El Secreto en La Fortuna fue maravillosa. El lugar es hermoso, con una vista espectacular al volcán Arenal, lo que hizo que cada mañana fuera especial. El servicio fue excelente. El recepcionista siempre nos saludaba con una sonrisa y fue muy amable al recomendarnos lugares para comer. Además, reservando con ellos obtuvimos un descuento en las aguas termales de Baldi, y también ofrecen otras excursiones con precios especiales si las compras directamente con ellos. La habitación era amplia, cómoda y el baño estaba en excelentes condiciones. Lo único que podría mencionar es que al estar en el primer piso, se escuchaban algunas conversaciones de personas que pasaban cerca, pero no fue algo que afectara mucho la experiencia. Definitivamente me volvería a quedar aquí. La ubicación es ideal, ya que se puede caminar fácilmente a varios restaurantes, bares y cafés. Lo recomiendo sin dudar.

Comfortable bed, good breakfast, nice-helpful staff. Our only suggestion for improvement would be the sound on the television was crackling like the speaker was busted.

The hospitality was the best we experienced in Costa Rica. The breakfast service was amazing. The room was everything it promised and more! The privacy and the safety measures they take are far above and beyond anything we experienced else where. The staff were absolutely professional, kind, courteous, and helpful at all times. If you were going to go to La Fortuna, this is where you stay no other place.
