La comida excelente, la pizza a la leña de lo mejor 10/10. Limpieza y comodidad en las habitaciones. El único “problema” que tuvimos fue el wifi, era intermitente y muy lento. De ahí en fuera muy buen lugar y muy cerca de las cataratas de la fortuna.

It was a joy to stay two nights so near the volcano in such a beautiful place. The cabin was roomy, clean, and comfortable, the restaurant was excellent, and the grounds (including the "nature walk" in the jungle at the rear of the property) were spectacular. The owner and staff are great people too. I would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation.

It was a quaint no frills hotel perfectly situated in a quiet area near the town on fortuno. Breakfast was delicious. We were a 6 person family and fit comfortably in their six person suite. Would come again. Thanks for a great stay. Loved all the beautiful flowers and hummingbirds in the area.
