We loved our stay! For starters, the property has a decent size rainforest in their "backyard". We took advantage of that and saw a variety of birds including toucans, howler monkeys, various coloured frogs, a wide variety of plants and flowers. They also host a guided tour for free and we took full advantage of that. In addition, the staff always went out of the way to make us comfortable. The place is located about 20-30 mins from the various La Fortuna attractions, so we were able to cover a few of these every day. The wifi was of good quality. The hot water in the shower was good. Rooms are spacious and comes with a kitchen. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes, cutlery etc. There was coffee, sugar, oil and salt available as a complement. There was also parking available for our car.

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff! We liked the combination of having a ceiling fan, an AC and mosquito nets on the windows. The porch was cozy. One of the best perks was being able to use the hot springs at the volcano lodge. There is safe parking on the property! The Hotel is located in the heart of La Fortuna, thus everything is easily walkable.

This hotel sits on a large property, we stayed in a room with a small thermal pool in a garden visited by plenty of birds. The location is very quiet, the room is large, the personnel helps a lot on any issue. We were able to do a small laundry, still very expensive but also very helpful. From all the places we've been in Costa Rica this hotel had the best breakfast, with very good quality products. One can see also plenty of birds around the breakfast zone, the pool and the gardens. The hotel has a very nice thermal pool with multiple small pools accessible over night. It also has a normal pool. We really enjoyed it.

Nice, cozy and amazing vue of the volcano from our room. We weren't super lucky since it was raining all the time. Which made it hard to see the volcano. But wake up early and u might get lucky. That worked for us. Recommended. The restaurant was a bit too expensive for dinner. Regardless food is good. I would eat elsewhere if ud want to expend your money., breakfast is good (included) . I recommend this place

From the moment you step in Tifakara, you feel the warm welcome from the staff and the beautiful atmosphere they create. This boutique hotel is located in La Fortuna area, close enough to the small center but still secluded enough to be private, with amazing views of the Arenal Volcano. We were in our Honeymoon, so we asked for a more private room and we got to experience a beautiful little cottage a bit far from the reception area, which was a delight. Room is small, but enough for a couple. The shower is designed to be semi-outdoor, so you can enjoy long baths surrounded by the forest. Bed is very comfortable and the nature sounds at night really make you feel like you are on a luxury camping experience. Even though the hotel is stunning, our experience was made even better because of the attentive staff. They make sure you always feel welcomed, without being too pushy. They all have a smile on their faces and you can feel the happy environment. We were also lucky enough to spot a sloth that was sleeping on a tree during our stay and the staff also makes sure you can spot different animals during your time there. The included breakfast was also delicious, there are various options so it doesn't get repetitive even in a long stay. Products are fresh, plating is set beautifully and it was one of the highlights of our trip. This was undeniably one of the best hotels we've ever stayed and I recommend it to anyone.

The resort is absolutely incredible! It is located in the heart of a lush rainforest with the local ecosystem being preserved. The facilities and accommodations are beautiful, clean and well-maintained. The villas are spacious and feature a thermal-water jacuzzi pool on a huge terrace. It was truly amazing to soak in the jacuzzi overlooking the jungles after dark. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and taken care of, and I felt like I was staying with family and friends. The resort is quite spacious, perfect for walking and hiking lovers like me. But for those who prefer not to walk, gold cars are readily available. Overall, I had an incredible experience and would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a luxurious yet eco-friendly retreat in the heart of nature.

The whole experience at Tabacón was exceptional. It is expensive and we were (to be honest) expecting it to be quite busy with little space for a personal stay. However, this was absolutely not our experience. We were amazed at how private the thermal pools felt. There are so many places where you can sit with your own group completely secluded from others. The service was amazing and the quality of the food, drinks was also very high. An expensive trip, but certainly well worth it after 3 weeks of traveling through Panama and Costa Rica (a little bit of TLC for the family).

So happy with hotel choice. Was concerned we were a little too far out of town as we didn't have car and no bus service but ubers were easy to get. When we saw busy town we were so glad we had such a lovely, peaceful location and closer to national park entrance. Hotel has bungalow-style rooms and two small 2-story buildings with balconies, all integrated into lovely gardens and with 2 small swimming pools (one designed for families with small children). Great unimpeded views of volcano. Chilled and relaxed atmosphere, with nearby massage/spa service if wanted.

The staff here were amazing. They were always so helpful and polite and very patient with explanations. Everyone customer-facing spoke excellent English. The room was spacious and very comfortable, with a large shower. Each room stands alone and has a small table outside with a view of the volcano (can't miss it!). The best thing is the bar/spa/hots springs area... Wow! Awesome pools with hot spring water and mini waterfalls. There's loads of wildlife milling around (hundreds of birds and lizards including giant iguanas and we even saw armadillos).

beautiful property with a short trail to walk. lovely pools and jacuzzis. The food was incredible as we ordered to the room a few times. The have a hotel taxi which took us into La Fortuna for additional cost which was great as well. we booked tours through the front desk and had incredible experiences! I highly recommend the Sloth Tour, the Arenal Volcano hike and the Coffee and Chocolate tour. I really enjoyed listening to all the wildlife around in the mornings and evenings, it was beautiful!

Our trip was mostly rejuvenation, health and to access the volcano and hot springs. We went to Arenal park and hiked the trail to the Volcano. We saw a Capibara but most other wildlife is best viewed in the early morning. There were a lot of orchids in bloom along the trails. Going to EcoTermales Hotspring was the highlight. It's a gorgeous naturally constructed spa with layered pools, waterfalls all built with stacked granite rockery, bridges and pathways connect the pools, and there's plenty of seating, an open bar that serves the best mixed drinks. The restaurant served fresh healthy assortment of seafood and meats with veggie dishes with dessert at Lunch. The water was fed from the natural hotspring, which was circulated , refreshed constantly with fresh volcanic water. Attention to the holistic elements of nature were throughout. Staff and Service were top notch.

We love the ease of walking the town for most anything you need. The tours we have taken have been wildlife, the volcano and we hope to get back again to see a few more that we just didn’t get fit in. The tours pick you up and get you back easily. The people of Fortuna are all so nice and helpful. Our favorite spots are Arenal Monara for lodging and Ecotermales Hot Springs for relaxing

This is too-busy area packed with too many tourists who are perfectly fine paying too much for too little. This appears to be the start of what I call "plastic tourism," where people are content being sucked into overpriced, commercialized experiences. There were too many people doing tick-box tourism, taking pictures of themselves rather than the gloriously beautiful area they were in. There are some genuine "Costa Rica" experiences to be had, but they are rare. I doubt I will be back.
