Our room was nice and clean and we had a beautiful view out of our bedroom window and off of our balcony. There was a river that runs right behind the rooms, it was great listening to that a night. It was great sitting out on our balcony, the balcony is compact though. The little kitchen was nice and suited our needs just fine. Unfortunately the pool was not working while we were there, but it was to cool and it was raining the whole time so we wouldn't have used it anyway.

Very quiet little cabin, near all the activities and a few steps from the trails to the river. Being off season some of the amenities were out of service but we enjoyed the gardens and trails and the covered areas during the rain.

Our room overlooked the river. We had fireflys at night, chamelions in the day and real peace and quiet. There is everythng you could need pools fed by the river, trails through the grounds, kitchens barbeques all in good condition. Easy to get to on a good road and close enough to town.

El lugar es genial. La pasamos muy bien mi familia y yo. Único detalle es que el área de juegos está descuidada (juegos en mal estado). Se disfruta muchísimo la vegetación y se nota que todo ha sido construido para preservar la naturaleza. Es un negocio familiar y las personas aue atienden son muy amables. Las piscinas y el río riquísimas para los días calurosos, y el jacuzzi también estuvo genial. Están constantemente mejorando y noté que están ampliando el área de senderos (por ahora son poquitos, pero te permite llegar un más arriba en el río donde hay posas increíbles para relajarse con el agua fría). El lugar está muy cerca del centro de la Fortuna, por lo cual en pocos minutos se puede acceder a restaurantes, templo católico, souvenirs, e incluso ir a visitar termales o el volcán Arenal. Volvería nuevamente con mi familia.

Our family apartment had two balconies - one in front and one in back facing the river. Check-in and check out were easy, and we appreciated the recommendations for transportation and restaurants.

Good: the property is beautiful! The river sounds are soothing. The buildings are nicely designed and well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful. It seems like it would be a lovely place to hold an event. Challenges: no hot water to the kitchen sink made us concerned for clean dishes. The wiring connections on the point of service heater on the shower head were a little alarming. Screens for the windows, a screen door for the back door would allow for enegy savings, when it is cool enough, while keeping the bugs and bats out. Also recommend keeping loft windows closed for that same reason. (The back porch bat were fun to watch outside but no one wants them in their room.) Doors need a bit Pland off the bottom to keep from scraping on the floors.

Our family of 5 enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The raging river so close to our balcony was impressive after a few days of heavy rain. Beds were comfortable, kitchen well equipped and we had plenty of space for 5. A couple of minor issues being advertised washer/dryer was actually a paid laundry service and pillow menu did not exist when requested although advertised.

Klimaanlage tropft und das Mobiliar ist alt. Trotzdem hat die Unterkunft viel Charme und ist sehr preiswert!
