Don't eat at the restaurant!!!!
Our room was very clean and the pool was great. However, the tin roof on room 405 was extremely noisy. The rain and what ever was dropping from the trees made it vey hard to sleep. Also there were a lot of animals not too far away making a lot of noise.
The restaurant is ok for breakfast if you are ok with birds eating the cereal before you get there.
Evening meals....below sub par!!!!

Excellent Costa Rican experience
Vey private sprawling resort with gorgeous landscaping full of huge rainforest plants and bromeliads, plenty of space between bungalows. Great volcano view and fun pool bar. Excellent staff. Extra spacious rooms. Interior was a bit dated and not the comfiest beds. No mini fridge. Loved the private jungle view outdoor porch and Jacuzzi tub

Outdated rustic hotel
Very basic, rustic and outdated hotel. No adjoining walls in our unit and quiet. Hot water in the shower but not the sink. Poor value for money but not unusual in Costa Rica. Walkways poorly lit at night and slippery when wet. Had a great meal in the restaurant but breakfast was a bit disappointing. Plenty of birds around and also saw a venomous Coral snake by the open air restaurant. Pool area was popular with families. Can’t drive car up hill to unit, but staff brought luggage to/from rooms on electric golf carts. Room had good A/C, OK WiFi but was very dark at night. Light switches were inconveniently located and not many electric outlets ( typical in the time the hotel was built). Away from the noise and traffic of La Fortuna.

We loved our villa! Beautiful and serene area, close to the main town yet far enough away to feel remote. Within 10-30 minutes of everything we wanted to do there. Parking was easy and staff was very accommodating.
