It was too cold to use the pool but it was very well maintained. We saw staff cleaning it everyday. Beautiful garden and nature around. Very calm. Only downfall is that its about 2.5 km away feom city center. Some restaurants around 1km away but more limited.

Had a great stay at this little gem, tucked in this gated lodge has a beautiful pool area. Comes complete with breakfast provided. Check in was friendly and helpful, the gentlemen that checked us in had limited English and us limited Spanish so he reached out and a wonderful lady via cell call got us all sorted. Everyone was so helpful. Room is very clean with AC. Would come stay again for longer next time.

We stayed in a villa and it was excellent. Plenty of space, clean, comfortable bed. The grounds were like paradise. We enjoyed reading and listening to the birds in the hammock area and enjoyed a little swim in the pool. North fields coffee tour is right beside the hotel which was convenient! We had a car which was helpful to get into town. We walked from town once which took maybe 40 minutes. We would stay here again!

My son (8) and I enjoyed this quiet place very much. Beautiful grounds. Nice breakfast. Not perfect ( internet was sometimes spotty; blinking light in the bathroom; toilet was not always flushing well) but for the price they charge you cannot expect perfection. We valued a very pleasant home-like stay, caring and friendly stuff, quiet nights with birds chirping, and close proximity to restaurants, supermarket and coffee/ chocolate tour. Very clean too. Would stay there again!

Lovely little accommodation just off the main drag of La Fortuna. Quiet, clean, safe. Lovely staff. Parking was right outside the doors to our unit which made unloading/loading our luggage a breeze. Breakfast was very good...perhaps the best I had on our two week trip to Costa Rica. Kids complained that the pool was cold. I would stay again.

The toilet clogged easily and they didn’t have a proper plunger. We wished the room had been cleaner/kept up better. But the people were very nice, and the property is beautiful. We did not try the breakfast.
